Crimson Blades Sword & Sorcery RPG
Whilst I'm kicking my heels wondering what to do to get BoL: Mythic published, I started work on Crimson Blades, which uses the rules from WOODLAND WARRIORS to create an 'old school' style sword & sorcery rpg, which pays more than a nod to Elric/Stormbringer. Here's the current draft:
CRIMSON BLADES

By the way, I think it needs a map and a good setting. Anyone got ideas to include in the setting?Or a map? Or can draw a map? Or anything else I can use?

Re: Crimson Blades Sword & Sorcery RPG
Well, it depends on what you are going for?
Hard Sword and Sorcery like BoL?
High Fantasy?
Some sort of mix?
You could always do a community hexcrawl to get this thing going.

Re: Crimson Blades Sword & Sorcery RPG
A Thundarr like setting would be good if your looking for a post apocalyptic swords and sorcery setting. A rough mod was done a while back for the old school called "Under the Broken Moon".
Coins, cleavage, and carnage...the three C's of Swords & Sorcery.

Sort of Dark Fantasy with touches of Sword & Sorcery - more like Elric. Definitely not High Fantasy.

Re: Crimson Blades Sword & Sorcery RPG
The map for HoH is great! I love it too.
But if you're looking for a more "Old School" feel you can try the Hexographer program.
It allows you to create pretty decent hex maps quite easily. And with the icon add ons, you have some variety in the map "flavour".
