Steampunk/Wild West - Martian invaders, weird science, mystic powers. Necromunda - Survival in the dark depths of a mega-city. Gang wars, mutant hunts, collecting scraps of tech for trade. Space Fantasy - Exploring alien landscapes. Fighting shifty space-pirates. Rampaging robots! Anybody tried anything like this? |

| #3highlandraiderMay 18, 2011 12:50:02 | A superhero themed reskin is easily done. I'd run across a Star Trek reskin of this a few weeks ago, and that got me thinking that GW could easily be reworked for Warhammer 40K [Dark Heresy]--select race and world of origin, then choose a profession. The same could easily be done for Warhammer Fantasy with race and country/region of origin or adjust to race and profession [probably makes more sense that way]. The GW approach is fairly simple yet robust. |

| #5FinarvynMay 22, 2011 9:50:22 | I'd be interested in seeing what folks have done with this. Any links, or do I need to search around? It seems to be that GW is basically 4E, but not quite. It's slighly simpler but still has quite a few options, and my gaming group might be more receptive to a GW-style game for other settings. |

The armor rules make things a touch wonky, but hey, the WoD is supposed to be super lethal. Omega tech becomes various fey creations and boom. You've got a very similar play experience. |
| #7snarls_at_fleasJun 09, 2011 20:18:59 | I'm going to use GW for one-shot zombie-ap and one-shot space mission with aliens and spaceships. Don't see any problems really. |

| #10ah_raptorovJun 11, 2011 16:16:27 | I just finished watching a Planet of the Apes marathon. Now I really want to run a campaign in that setting. It would be easy to do, I think. Either the players are Mutants reaching Ape City, or, better yet, they are all simians exploring the radioactive wastes of the Forbidden Zone. Maybe a human could join the party too. |

We've been playing it since May, and love it. Three of the players are under the age of 13 and they can't get enough, the two youngest are girls and they are ruthless in their pursuit of justice.

Human colonists are in suspension. Robots maintain the entire vessel on the long journey. Something goes very wrong. Some colonist wake to find the ship in chaos. Plants and animals in the domes have changed while many of the the ship's systems and robots have gone haywire. There are lifeforms on the ship that shouldn't be there. Some colonists find they have changed too. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metamorphosis_Alph... The mother of Gamma World. This time it could be the Warden crossed a time/space nexus giving rise to so many critters on board. |
