[Inheritance] 300+XMen+Clash of the Titans

SUPERSUGA

Inheritance is a System and Setting that I've been collaboratively working on for some time now, but it's been sat on my back burner for some months. However, now that I have a bit of free time I'm hoping to heat it back up with a few playtests to remind me where the system needs to go next. Basically feeling out for interested players and this place seems as good as any. Onto the blurb.

Jorng has stories of great heroes moving mountains, God Kings that shaped the empires of today and beings sent by wicked Gods to destroy the world as we know it. Some of these are little more than characters from folk tales but some of them are real and set to make their own legends. Those who are born with, or gain, this great power are known as Inheritors, but who or what exactly they inherit their abilities from will vary depending on who you ask.

Inheritance is based in an age of prophecies and legends. A land of Empires, mythical creatures and people ranging from humble slaves to god-like beings. Battles between vast armies of conflicting Empires happen alongside titanic clashes of hero and monster.

The players, alongside the Gamesmaster, create these heroes and live out their legends.

So the gist is characters that are effectively Superheroes in an original ancient, mythic setting taking inspiration from Greece, Egypt, Rome, Persia etc. but having a distinct flavour of its own. You won't find Gorgons and Minotaurs here but there's plenty of cool stuff.

I particularly want someone to steal a chariot in one of my playtests so I can test those rules out, or sail off on a voyage so I can try out this nifty island generator I've found.

Without further delay here's the system document: http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=ddmbxmt_08q2p48
and while the wiki for fluff lies incomplete it's worth reading up on the different nations and regions here: http://inheritance.orokos.com/Category:Nations

Well? Who wants to throw javelins at things and kick people down holes some time?

Hey, that's my logo.

People should check it out. </totally-unbiased>

Just from the blurb it sounds pretty cool. Have to read it for real later.

Oh yeah, Infidel made coffee for me while I single-handedly did all this. Yessir.

INeedNoSalt

can I see this island generator?

SUPERSUGA

NO

I totally stole and adapted it from Mazes & Minotaurs, it's in one of those pdfs somewhere

I should also mention I'm in #bombfell on irc.slashnet.org, as part of recent attempts to keep the channel alive, so if anyone wants to talk system that's a good place to catch me.
