That is a pretty impressive number and array of games, thank you for sharing. I only slipped in about 12 games that were a hybridized BoL and S&S Codex. I have not gotten a chance to run the Space Pulp game yet, I have added to the idea though.

Happy Gaming in 2026 to everyone!

Starting another rpg session, this one Space Pulp set in a mixture of Heavy Metal magazine/movie, Warhammer 40k-Rogue Trader (as in the original 40k, not the new rpg) and Star Wars 4&5 for vibes/imagery/basic setting. Players will be on a routine drop off on a backwater planet in which the mission is returning some ancient relics at a museum. In reality the museum is a chaos temple and the relics are part of a ritual to awaken a Chaos Power (Malal) as a powerful EMP strike on the spaceport neutralizes all spacecraft that landed legally at the port where they are supposed to. As rumors fly about a handful of spaceships capable of flight to escape the planet it is apparent that Chaos is beginning to warp things around the temple as secret cults reveal themselves. And then an ork pirate ship crashes into the planet trying to land.

Either absinthe or cranberry cider. Sometime there is a fungus among us.  

Here is what I had in mind: A 2d6 system that is based on BoL yet is more vanilla at first. It is intended for casual play, easy to pickup for a one-off or mini campaign. At first the idea is that the player(s) are clearing out a small area (map is basically a letter sized piece of paper if tokens/miniatures are being used) in a timely manner-if the small foes are not vanquished bigger threats things start to arrive. As a variant there are no specific Lemurian trappings, yet those can easily be added. There is one career for each player and one trait to start, two traits if you play a non-human or want another trait as a human, yet then you get a flaw. More flaws can occur during play. The setting is more playfully eerie in look than as horrific as BoL can be.

It was just an idea and I can flesh it out for 2d6 or even BRP or just ignore it and focus on graphic novel work. At this particular point I am not worried about it, it was just a random idea.

If you can't convince Ludospherik my chances are less. However I can go without Lemuria as a setting, also.

It needs Lemuria as the setting otherwise what's the point?
 

Confession time. I have run Barbarians of Lemuria for a LONG time. I have also never really used Lemuria myself. My settings are usually a mishmash of ideas, other settings and a few trappings from Lemuria. Any of the area specific Boons and Flaws are just presented with either another area or without a specific place name, just a rough idea of the equivalent. With this idea a specific setting is only lightly applied unless one wants to make a concrete place.
