Project Nemesis is a fan driven website for games that use the One-Roll Engine (like Nemesis, Wild Talents, Reign and Monsters) or Chaosium's Basic Roleplay System (BRP) (like Call of Cthulhu) and the Delta Green setting.
While I was happy enough with the adaptation of Wild Talents to handle
my Reign->D&D conversions magic needs it is somewhat slow unless
the player has a good handle on WT power creation and by introducing a
skill priced at stat levels it feels somewhat inelegant.
There are three different varieties of magic users. While all rely on the weave to power their magic they are separated by the source of their power and the manner in which they employ it. The three different kinds of spell caster as well as their
core spell casting statistic and skill are listed below.
This is the first draft of my conversion of Reign (with some Wild
Talents) for use with D&D (specifically Forgotten Realms). I havent
had a chance to playtest these yet, so if theres any gaping holes
please feel free to point them out.
While reading through Reign I became quite attached to the idea of
using it to run a Forgotten Realms campaign set in Waterdeep with the
various Waterdhavian factions statted up as company's and so on. I was
then faced with the task of trying to determine what elements of
D&D need to mechanically represented and which can be left as
flavour/story concerns.
This is the fourth session of A Band of Bastards. The group has been
resized to Kieran, Lauren, Liam, and Nash. I also have introduced
Company rules to the party in the hopes of trying them out in the new
future. They’ll certainly get some healthy modifiers from today’s game.
Crap. Instead of just one maybe two extra people I could just slide
into the current game, I had three. All of a sudden I had five players.
Anyway, the new players are Kieran, someone whose name is also Chris so
he’s now known as Nash, and Lauren’s sister, Thingy Majig
Watsurnaimagin… no wait, her name is Caitlin. Sorry, Caitlin.
This is the second session of the Band of Bastards. Due to Russell’s
inability to curb his abhorrent work hours has led to his replacement
by Lauren. Russell’s character Drennet has been relegated to be an NPC.
