What settings are you planning?

[the Bromgrev]

I'll continue hammering out my retro-tech SF setting, originally inspired by Blakes 7 but horribly mutated through influences such as Aliens, Bladerunner, Buck Rogers in the 25th Century (both the 1930s B&W serial and the '79 to '81 series), C.J.Cherryh's Alliance/Union universe, Firefly/Serenity, Farscape, Kim Stanley-Robinson's Mars books, LEXX and Traveller.

Pavis-Prax using RQ3 and Greydog using HQ.

I doubt if I'll change from RQ3 to D100 unless there are major improvements.

But, I'll steal ideas from D100 and RQM.

As mentioned in my introduction - I'll be doing a Celtic-flavored fantasy using BRP/Stormbringer-type rules. To get more specific, though GURPS Celtic Myth is an important resource for me, I am NOT trying to create anything faithful to either Celtic history or Celtic mythology/folklore. I'm after more the flavor of it than the actuality of it. So it's a place where "druids" (based on historic but tweaked according to my needs/desires) practice magic and lead strange worship, etc. It's still a work-in-progress but I'll be happy to go into more detail if anyone's interested.

I'm also developing a "Cthulhu By Gaslight" campaign.

Would be nice to hear how your settings turn out as they both sounds pretty interesting. Are you thinking about making fanmaterial available online or something for publication?

I am also very fond of celtic inspired adventures and the Gurps Celtic Myth sourcebook is great for this.

Probably a no on publication, but I might stick something up on the web. I can't violate copywrights, but I could summarize some of what I've done. And, as I said, if people would like to see some of that here I'd be happy to post about it.

That would be great. A own thread about it once the system is out would be nice.

I'll start tonight (I'm at work right now - and supposed to be working ).

I'll give it it's own thread, but it seems like it might be a good idea to start a new sub-forum for describing our own campaign settings. What do you think?

[Trifletraxor]

I have been planning to add a "settings" forum and a "off-topic" forum (this one would stay as a "rules" forum), but thought to wait until the book is out. I'm not sure the activity on the board would justify 3 different forums at this time, especially as most of us do not know how the final rules will turn out (magic systems etc.). Settings threads started in this forum could easily be transfered to a settings forum later when it's set up. I'll make a poll and see what the thoughts are.

One of the settings I am going to create when the book comes out is a planetary romance/sword and planet style setting inspired by Burroughs Barsoom, Brackett, etc... with a touch of horror.
