Fledgling Fyora Hegar T. Porisdei Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 One of the things I enjoy most about spiderweb software games is the storylines. The emphasis on choice, morals, and interesting background stories is what I believe makes their games different, better. This is also why Geneforge would have to be my favorite series: I think the world it is set in has the most potential for interesting stories and situations. I don't know how many tabletop roleplayers subscribe to these boards, but I'm hoping there are a few. Does anyone out there know of anyone who's tried to run an RPG set in the world of Geneforge? Personally, I plan on creating a Geneforge setting for the GURPS system to run with a few friends. To keep the computer game exciting, it has to be set in the backwaters of Shaper civilisation, a place where rampant violations of the harsh Shaper laws are possible for anything more than a short period of time (though I suppose we have to see what #3 brings). But with a table top RPG, the game could be set easily in a large shaper city, and get into intrigue and really flesh out the story in a way that can't happen in a computer game. So in case you hadn't guessed, I think an pen and paper RPG version of Geneforge would be a great idea. They did it for Myth: The Fallen Lords, which also had a pretty cool storyline, but Geneforge's is better. Obviously I'm not gonna try to give Jeff business advice, but an official GURPS: Geneforge would be pretty neat... In short: If you have any ideas for the wider world of Geneforge feel free to post them here so I can use them in my game, or just so we can discuss what we think the wider world would be like.

Kyshakk Koan Controversial Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 I'd say it's a pretty good idea. remember, this game was kind of like a test, so it was created by trying to make each aspect of the game different from all of the others, which turned out great. Now, just wait until Blades 0f Geneforge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
