Just when I thought I didn't know where to set my next fantasy game.... Thanks Aos.

My pleasure.
I'm completely flattered, by the way.

Once again, sorry to everyone for the slow updates... maybe this weekend.

I'm adapting the setting to 0e. I've started at the url above. A lot of what gets posted will be repetition of what is here and at the haven for a while.

Ooh. Any updates?

Aos · January 26, 2010, 04:52:45 PM

It will be a year at least before things slow down enough for me to invest any time in putting the whole thing together. Until then, I'll likely concentrate on little projects like this one when I get a window.

make that two years.
Graduate students, they're not bad people, they just have made horrible life choices. Like bums, but with less money and time.

Ah well keep working on it.

Quote from: Aos;233809Actually, I wasn't trying to so much go against the norm as I was trying to make Humans cool. I was thinking to the Tarna sequence in Heavy Metal actually. I do see your point, though, but I've got this idea in my head...

Edit- Also, I usually play humans and I thought it would be neat to be play a human and have everyone think you were dangerous trash.

Dude Heavy Metal is exactly the vibe I was getting from this. Always wondered why it never became an RPG setting. Cool stuff so far. Just remember the locnar's mine. It's my locnar.

Excellent work Aos. I'd love to run or play in this setting. One of the things I've been wanting to see more of in the OSR is stuff that has an anything goes Arduin vibe. This has it in spades without being derivative. Nice work.

By the way you mentiond that the 'Mutants, Mongrels, Cyborgs and Freaks' where anything goes and should be made on a case by case basis; well you should totally throw together a bunch of tables for completly random Mutant, Mongrel, Cyborg and Freak character generation.

Thanks guys. I'm not working on this as much as I'd like these days because grad school is eating me alive right now, but it's still alive, and I'm going to post another adventure thing pretty soon.
I'm actually astounded that two people discovered this thread in the same day.Maybe if I finish with my reading a little early I'll get some more stuff posted here and at the blog.

Mod question: is it okay to regularly post stuff here that I post in my echo chamber?

One page dungeon for the Metal Earth, also there are some new S&W house rules and shit, and some of the stuff that is here is cleaned up and expanded over there. And there is a lot more of my 'art.'
