What True20 goodness do you want in 2008?

I really hope Paizo & Green Ronin continue with support for True20 in their products. I know the jury is still out on what Paizo's doing with 4th Ed., but I hope the conversion guides they've started are here to stay...

And yeah, a full True20 Adventure Path would be great!

Feat and Powers cards would be a nice, non-essential addition. I imagine they'd be pretty easy to put on to pdf, and could be updated with each handbook.

You mean in easy handout/card form? Or as areference sheet, with all listed powers together for easy research/access?

Either way, great idea.

I have a subscription to Pathfinder now, so a guide to convert from one system to the other would be appreciated. Although as it stands now I've been defining their item cards in True 20 stats more than D20

[Baduin]

I have some notes on converting D&D to True20, including magic items. This involves some changes to True20 system, however, and the rules are still not quite balanced. I could put up them somewhere, if anyone is interested.

[PhelanMahoney]

I need to get off my butt and do a side by side comparison rule wise between the two system and see what got changed and what was left more or less intact.

There has been mention of a Fantasy Setting that True20 cool call its own, what type of fantasy genre would that be?

True20 would IMO work best with a gritty fantasy. Something with low-moderate magic as opposed to high magic. Maybe a Historical-Fantasy like Hârn.

Alternatively, find a fairly popular fantasy novel series that has a unique spin on it and get the rites for that.

CS Friedman's Coldfire trilogy, or the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant for example.

I'm still not convinced that it wouldn't be a very good fit for A Song of Ice & Fire.

It's a perfect fit, honestly. As others have pointed out, with it's animal-human friendships, strong family drama, and central female and "outcast" characters, ASoI&F is just a romantic fantasy setting gone horribly, horribly wrong.

And here a part of me is thinking of using the system and True20 Chick's Fauna notes to redo Ironclaw.

Started looking into this as a possible direction for a setting and it appears that Green Ronin, already possesses the rights to make a RPG of it.

Taken from the Wikipedia.

"On 28 July 2006 George R. R. Martin confirmed that he had received word from the head of Guardians of Order that the company was folding and that no further releases for the setting would take place. Martin expressed hope that the game might be salvaged by another company, and on 24 April 2007, Green Ronin Publishing announced they would be producing a new role-playing game entitled A Song of Ice and Fire."

So my creative outlet is foiled again. Suppose I will continue on with my homebrew setting, unless there is additional suggestions.

Oops!

Sorry, I could have warned you about that.

Anyway, you've piqued my curiosity. What sort of fantasy setting is your homebrew to be?

I am pretty sure (based on statements from Pramas, on the main GR site and elsewhere) that the A Song of Ice and Fire game will not be using True20, but rather its own new system.

It's unclear to me whether this new system will be something completely new, or whether it is "Pretty similar to True20, but just different enough that we wouldn't feel right saying it is True20."

Currently it is a non-human centric setting with a strong post apocalyptic feel, where gods meddle in the affairs of mortals for supremacy, through their own whimsical desires. The post apocalyptic feel is from 'The Last War', where the gods could not use humanity to settle their differences any longer and had to resort to direct confrontation. Humanity is nearly destroyed from the ensuing chaos. This leaves the gods to a decision, do they reinstate humanity, or create their own races? Which they decide to do. I am now at a point where I have to decide, myself, if I want to advance this multiracial world into a Fantasy Steampunk setting or not. I am torn to be honest. I love the genre, but it is COVERED with a multitude of similar settings, using various other gaming systems.

Thoughts?
