...but what happened to the Alien game? :lol:

"Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger."

It be alright, but the setting itself is overrated. Ooo.. a desert. Big deal.

lol!

 

you can make anything cool sound lame when you say it like that!


Killing is kind of like playin' a basketball game. I am there. and the other player is there. and it's just the two of us. and I put the other player's body in my van. and I am the winner. - Nice Pete.

Yeah, seriosuly, I like Dark Sun. It's a solid setting. I'm just pre countering those who will come rushing in to claim how awesome DS is simply because water is 'rare'. Big deal.

Yes, because the rarity of water is exactly the reason people vow for DS.

hmm.. actually... yes.. I still have the Spelljammer box with the old 3.5inch discs stashed away in a wardrobe..

 

Dark Sun.. good yes, but the thing that worries me if that is the game.. it'll be the computerised version of DnD 4th Edition... which just.. I shudder at the thought.

 

I'd say Dark Sun was the hardcore because the mix of:

a> rarity of water / metal

b> a sensible reason for why the cities had overpowerful mages (who also happened to be overpowered psionics, worshipped as gods, and with legions of fanatical followers)

c> any other arcane types having to keep their magic secret or be killed in a variety of painful manners.. (which also made spell research awkward) and the whole they pushed that you had to pay attention to spell components... (which a lot of d&d campaigns tended to let slide unless it was expensive/rare components)

d> it was one of the few official settings that really encouraged high fatality for the players...

More steampunk. Please, I beg you.

 

EDIT: Or something Lovecraftian, that would be great.

Didn't we have this thread before...? :ermm:

 

I'm actually hunkering most for either a school/academy setting (Bully) or a Byzantine one - opulence, religion, political intrigue, but without the technology slant of steampunk, the all too familiar Victorian setting, or fantasy and apocalypse (Age of Decadence). Just seems like we've seen a lot of steampunk-ish stuff lately, anyway (though not an outright proper steampunk game).
