aVENGER Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 GCG has acquired a license from Interplay to produce a line of Fallout (pen and paper) products. Our first product will be a Fallout d20 modern OGL Player's Handbook. Products that will follow will be a campaign guide and a organization companion guide. Our first product is planned for release this fall. http://www.gluttoncreeper.com/page3.html I don't get it. An obscure, fairly unknown company gets the license to do this and they instantly manage to screw it up by going with the d20 route. Bah...
steelfiredragon Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 yeah, i think it will bomb out. even if they keep the perks. Strength through Mercy Head Torturor of the Cult of the Anti-gnome
kirottu Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 What was wrong GURPS... SPECIAL was based on it, right? This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time.
aVENGER Posted June 20, 2006 Author Posted June 20, 2006 (edited) It was, and GURPS 4.0 would have certainly been a better choice than d20, but then again they could have simply made a PnP conversion of S.P.E.C.I.A.L. It's not like that hasn't been attempted before. Edited June 20, 2006 by aVENGER
Kaftan Barlast Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 Any attempt to remove SPECIAL from Fallout will result in disaster. This will probably do even worse than the d20 version of Call of Cthulhu.

Judge Hades Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 (edited) Well, think on this. The experience progression for Fallout is the same with the d20 System. Also the Perk progression, if you don't take the Gifted Talent, is pretty much the same as the Feat progression (minus the one at first level). The real difference here is that the majority of the d20 System products are classed based while Fallout is not but there are very successful d20 variants that removed the class system, True20 being one of them. There are already a lot of SPECIAL in d20 already. Also they couldn't use GURPS because GURPS doesn't have the open gaming license and SPECIAL has more things in common with the d20 System than GURPS 4e now. Edited June 20, 2006 by Judge Hades

kirottu Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 I agree with Hades. This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time.
jaguars4ever Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 Oh n0es!1 Part of the reason FO is special is because it's SPECIAL.

Judge Hades Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 I rather see a fully developed PnP version of SPECIAL than the d20 System being used for Fallout but the d20 System is my second choice. Of course there are already 2 decently designed PA d20 games: Gamma World and Dawrin's World.

Baley Posted June 21, 2006 Posted June 21, 2006 No need for that, Hades, when you're right, and you are, Pixies ain't gonna be disagreeing with you. He's an honourable man.

steelfiredragon Posted June 21, 2006 Posted June 21, 2006 yes that it right, it is just about the same as the feat stuff..... but i dont agree with eithr side Strength through Mercy Head Torturor of the Cult of the Anti-gnome
Judge Hades Posted June 21, 2006 Posted June 21, 2006 The reason why it scares me when people agrees with me is that there are two horrid possibilities. One, I am becoming more rational or two, the people around here are becoming nuttier. Either way it is a frightening affair.
