Sigh, if only! I'd love to see this out there, I hope it can happen.

The second is Rainbow Bridge, an urban fantasy/wuxia/planetary romance mashup where sufficiently advanced martial arts are indistinguishable from magic.
Welcome and looking forward to your thoughts, especially on Rainbow Bridge!
I remember discovering BoL, lovely feeling isn't it?

Any chance you might be prepared to share with the rest of us? I'm kind of intrigued to see what changes you made.
They are very minor and not convinced they are any better, but I will tidy them up and google doc them.

I'd like to get a game of BoL Hyboria going on Hangouts (I'm UK based). Details here. If trade is slow over on the Tavern I'll post on G+ and see if I can get it out of the torporic fleshpits and into visceral play.

Reading the Age of Arthur RPG[/url] lately has gotten the wheels turning in my head a bit... I really like FATE's use of Aspects. This morning I stumbled across an old Big Purple thread about running BoL with [url=!]FATE Aspects instead of Boons & Flaws -- very intriguing, I'm tempted to give it a try. Any thoughts?
Well, first let me say that I am glad that Age of Arthur has grabbed you! We've just released a new scenario book for it, Time of the Wolves, so I'm a bit giddy just now...
As an author of a Fate RPG, it will come as little surprise that I rather like Aspects and that we've had loads of fun tagging and compelling them in play. Anything can have Aspects, not just characters. The brief formal definition of Aspects:An aspect is a phrase that describes something unique or noteworthy about whatever it’s attached to. They’re the primary way you spend and gain fate points, and they influence the story by providing an opportunity for a character to get a bonus, complicating a character’s life, or adding to another character’s roll or passive opposition.
Aspects are also transient and move over time and story significance. They are also a core element of the game system providing hooks for the Fate Point economy that enlivens play. They overlap strongly with Boons and Flaws and I don't see any reason why you couldn't bring them into BoL. You'd want to think about how much of the Fate mechanics you'd want to leverage.
…
Obviously, Fate isn't for eveybody. I'm a big Fudge fan too. I haven't experienced any problems using Aspects in play, but then the game works well with a good concensus around the table and I work to ensure that is in place.
I'm also a huge BoL fan. I'd like to get a Hyborian game going on Hangouts, details [url=

Fantastic! Thank you.
So, I'll be looking to cross check this with the Mythic list and affirm them for my game. Great to have something to start with.
I must say that the charcter sheet is very good and inspirational. I'm unlikely to do better, but will use the included version as my base.
I'm running out of excuses to do this.

Thanks very much!
I'm looking for exactly that list - Booms and Flaws for all the Hyborian peoples - everything else just slinks into place.
I'll construct such a list.
Cheers

Hello,
I've recently backed the Kickstarter and really keen to get cracking with BoL either in glittering Lemuria or maybe old Hyboria. Thinking of mapping those Boons and Flaws to the kingdoms there.
I've been drumming up interest on the Gaming Tavern forum. I run Furnace, a small convention in Sheffield UK and attend a few others too. I can see me running some at a few of them.
Great game and itching to play.
