The Butcher

Quote from: Gib;593797I have an idea of doing something like this for B/X. I'd re-skin the elves as  pseudo-Egyptians; dwarves as neanderthals; and halflings as sea faring baboons. I'd have a patchwork of neolithic and bronze age culture areas.

I posted a similar idea a while back, only thinking of doing it with RQ6 instead.

Quote from: Gib;593797It will be years before I get a chance to run such a thing, though.

I know the feel bro. :(

Quote from: John Morrow;593562I thought it was quite good, actually.  What didn't you like about it?

Everything about it was "B movie"; the acting was awful, the plots were awful.

And while my phone is an important tool for my daily life, it is not a life-saving device that KEEPS MY HEART FROM EXPLODING. Fuck, Tony. Get your shit together, pal."

Quote from: theweirdn8;593042Did someone already mention Legend of the Seeker?

I thought it was a decent enough show, but it's pretty much a poster child for medieval fantasy, which is expressly what the OP is not looking for.
