My mind is always active, thinking of new plots, campaigns, and systems.
Currently, me and my friends are playing Call of Cthulhu, BRP version. As far as homebrewing goes, I have some experience. Our current campaign is set in Silent Hill. Amazingly, I succeeded at fairly statting stuff out - even Pyramid Head! He wasn't too hard, but he definitely wasn't easy... :smallbiggrin:
Anyway, I've been contemplating a few homebrew settings using the BRP D100 system. Essentially, I'll tweak the Cthulhu char sheets, weapons, et cetra, and toss them into a new setting. I have 4 ideas, and most of my players are interested in at least one. I'm not looking for advice on how to make them. I'm just asking one which ones you guys think would be the most fun and entertaining.
My ideas are:
Resident Evil - easily converted from CoC. Sanity becomes a Virus Gauge, and I've already worked out the system, which works in theory. Weapons and occupations and such are easily converted. The only real work would be enemy stats.
Star Wars - somehwhat difficult to convert, but worth the effort, IMO. Sanity system can be converted into a Force System - I've already gotten it figured out, and all I need to really do now is test it out. However, occupations, weapons, et cetra have to be redone from scratch.
Monster Hunter - a lot of my friends play Monster Hunter. The skill systems and such are well suited for this game, although I think a D20 system would be best... Personally, I think this would be a ton of work, but me and most of my friends think it would be well worth the effort.
Dystopian Future - a dystopian future, a la V for Vendetta or 1984. The players are freedom fighters, doing espionage and guerilla warfare type stuff. Not much work to be done here, really. Just take out the Sanity System, and make the HP system a bit beefier so players don't drop dead too quickly. It still won't be a run 'n gun system, of course...
As it stands, I have 2 votes Resident Evil, 2 votes Monster Hunter, and 2 votes Dystopian Future. (Players have been allowed multiple votes - 4 have voted)
So what do you guys think? Please, no serious advice, just opinions on which would be the best game(s) to work on. Advice can be givien once I actually decide on which one(s) to work on......
Thanks for reading, and thanks to all who offer their help in this endevour. :smallsmile:
