Title: Idea,..expanding the FS universe past the computer :)
Post by: Warlock on November 24, 2001, 10:00:00 am: Just an idea for now..project later depending on popular opinion (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

What does everyone think of creating a FS universe RPG? I mena old school like AD&D style..not computer. The simplest way would be create a conversion of WOC Starwars D20...unless you REALLY[/i] want to completely write the core rules (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

Thoughts? Idea worth going for? Or just another one of my "night having too much whiskey,..I've yet to totally sober up" ideas? :lol

Simple..it's just like a FanFic, all this project would be is a netbook that gives guidelines and rules to usethe Star Wars D20 RPG set as a FS game.

Interplay would have no grounds for anything...it'd be like them coming after us for campaign and mod creation (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Post by: Warlock on November 24, 2001, 02:54:00 pm: From what I know Aerotech's just another side to the old Battletech ,..which was really just a board game on steroids (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif) Great fun..but why take a computer flight simulator and make it into a board game simulator? The idea I've got is actually making a character,..he could be a fighter pilot,...a Marine,...Comm Officer,.whatever.

I'm part of a Wing Commander mIRC online RPG at the moment... Just got promoted, actually. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif) But the rules could be easily adopted to FreeSpace, however the loadout options would be very simplified. The game is about rapid resolution and not the simulation detail of a computer game. But I digress.

I'll talk to one of the coordinators and see if they object to us borrowing their rules. Unfortunately, they have a program the host uses to calculate everything, and I am too junior to get access to it. However, I will bring the subject up today. Actually, I've thought about it before, but it was more of a blue sky idea. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

Post by: Warlock on November 24, 2001, 06:55:00 pm: LOL Looks like this idea is going to run on several facets (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

I guess I'll start gathering info and such tonight/tomarrow.
