Experiment: Codex Alera RPG Using White Wolf Scion Rules

(1/4) > >>

provik:
I'm trying an experiment with running the Codex Alera world.

Taking the mechanics and feel of the Scion: Hero game (which gives me a great deal of flexibility both in the scale of power available to Characters, thanks to God and Demigod rules) and to the flexibility I want to keep in the game (allowing players to use their furies in different ways without forcing them to cookie-cutter stamp their powers).

By converting Legend to Fury and Legend Points to Fury Points, then converting the Virtues into Furycraft areas (Air, Earth, Fire, Water, Wood, Steel), I'm hoping to create some of the similar game dynamic as the books.

The main differences will be that Epic Attributes can be used, but Boons connected to Epic Attributes will be attributed more to elemental powers and not to Birthrights.

And furies, naturally, will be followers of a very specific type (Air, Earth, etc. etc.)

We'll see how it turns out.

Please let me know how this goes.  I really liked the system for Scion, I thought it was fairly flexible and neat.  Kudos to you sir or madam that had the time and effort I couldn't and wouldn't be able to put into this.

Heh, a friend and I are actually doing a setting using the d20 system. We're mainly modeling them after Psions, with an MP-system and all that. We've also worked in a mechanic where you can cast spells even at 0 or negative MP, but doing so causes penalties of Fatigue, Exhaustion, and if your MP gets too negative, your character passes out and is unconscious until the MP regens back to 0 (usually the duration of a fight plus several minutes/hours afterward)

Wolfhowls:
A buddy and I were talking about this today, on what system to use for that realm. But my main question is there a Codex Alera RPG on the works?

TheMouse:
Some quick Googling implies that it's not currently planned. If DF RPG does really well, and if Evil Hat can afford the license, then maybe it might happen. Or not. The quotes I found on the subject were a couple of years old, and they might not be at all accurate any longer.
