Not only does the name and the elevator pitch for the concept immediately summon a great deal of vivid mental images for me (and a terrible sense of sadness and loss mingled with Carollian madness and Grimmish danger), but it struck me that it was almost exactly the same concept as a project I put together in art school for a <i>manga</i> setting; even right down to the part about taking a train from London through a tunnel to the fantasy world. The only real difference was that mine was set on a Barsoom-like Mars instead of Faerie (the tunnel was essentially a Stargate). Mine was inspired by (inevitably) <i>Space: 1889</i> and a challenge to create a fantasy setting using only the creatures found in the original <i>Fiend Folio</i>.<br /><br />Funny how unconnected people can strike upon such similar ideas!Devin Parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00944849659698291143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6521849845513719910.post-90283239971735467112013-05-17T06:46:09.223-07:002013-05-17T06:46:09.223-07:00There's Run Out The Guns, which made Rolemaste...There's Run Out The Guns, which made Rolemaster a little more accessible from a chargen perspective: http://rpggeek.com/rpgseries/2800/run-out-the-guns<br /><br />If the GM served as the rules engine, it meant a player simply had to add two numbers together for a given skill as determined by background choices, and add that number to a roll when required in a test of that skill per standard RM rules. As a RM newbie it was fun, and I was lucky to call "friend" the author and so I was play testing with him. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08845144000627704347noreply@blogger.com
