This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Is this the fantasy game built using Traveller as the basic rules?
On weird fantasy: "The Otus/Elmore rule: When adding something new to the campaign, try and imagine how Erol Otus would depict it. If you can, that\'s far enough...it\'s a good idea. If you can picture a Larry Elmore version...it\'s far too mundane and boring, excise immediately." - Kellri, K&K Alehouse

I have a campaign wiki! Check it out!

Is there a fantasy game built using Traveller as the basic rules? :idunno:
Grając zaś w grę komputerową, być może zdarzyło się wam zapragnąć zejść z wyznaczonej przez autorów ścieżki i, miast zabić smoka i ożenić się z księżniczką, zabić księżniczkę i ożenić się ze smokiem.

Nihil sine magno labore vita dedit mortalibus.

And by your sword shall you live and serve thy brother, and it shall come to pass when you have dominion, you will break Jacob's yoke from your neck.

I guess they're making the rounds, because the reason for my question is that I too have a copy I'm currently working on reviewing.

I checked out the demo.

It looks like something that might have interested me in 1989. Maybe.

Two decades later, I have all of this in various incarnations of D&D, as well as clones and knockoffs.

One thing I like about it is that unlike Imagine, Forge out of Chaos and other knockoffs, the game embraces its D&D influences. System, presentation and even writing style... there's a D&D vibe there.

There are other elements found in other old school games and classic fantasy games as well but nothing that screams "buy me".

As far as old school fantasy games, it looks superior to Forge out of Chaos, Imagine and those kind of games but a little less interesting than Epic Roleplaying or Ramlar.

Personally, I'd rather play D&D, Harnmaster or Runequest.
