I've been working on a system for a bit in a "game" designed for working on systems. My intention was to create a system that would translate the Fable video games into dice, or at least put dice resolution to perameters defined in the video game such as Strength, Skill, and Will. The trouble with Fable is that they were never really about party balance. The Hero was the best in the party, or he was competitive with other heroes.

My idea is that the Hero of Oakvale made the wrong choice with the Sword of Aeons and the canonical destruction of the Heroe's Guild may or may not happen, but this time, the reason is different. It is in the time period where the fate of the Heroes Guild hangs in the balance, and Reaver hasn't quite done his thing yet.

So a multiplayer game set in Albion between Fable 1 and 2. It won't be 100% canonical at the start, but it'll be close. I make no guarantees about canonicity past the point where the game starts. Anyone interested? It'll also be a bit of a playtest on my system as well.

Note: This thread isn't for naysayers and people who want to chime in and say they're not interested. I'm not interested in such replies.

It sounds fun, even to people who might not have played fable. I'm very interested in playing and seeing how you'll incorporate and upgrade everything. It'll also be a nice way to be introduced to the dice systems a bit.

At the moment, I don't have much specific in the way of "upgrades" but I was thinking about using the Fable Wikia for inspiration. as far as I can tell, most of their items have 1-5 stars.

I'd be interested.

Sweet! If I can get one or two more I'll be set.

Oh, what the heck, I'll throw my hat in the ring.  I enjoy Fable well enough.

Though I have to ask, which qualifies as the "wrong" decision with the Sword of Aeons?

Killing Theresa, or at least that's what she says (god I hate that meme with a fiery passion that burns with the heat of over nine thousand suns). Also, she isn't dead in 2, so that's the implication very strongly made there.

So anywho,

I have only played a chunk of fable one, but I am willing to take a crack at the rtj info and all that if you need another.

Alright, I'll create the game when I can.

Actually I need to ask about rating. My preference is Adult, but I'll do mature if some aren't down for Adult games.

It all depends on why it is adult.

I like obscene language and violence. Fable itself had fade to black situations, so the sexual activity is unlikely to be at Adult level. Granted, Fable never really was that foul mouthed, but they had an achievement for a modified version of a Mozambique Drill (sp?). I seem to remember a fair amount of blood splatter, but I've played a lot of games with blood splatter, and the only one I can specifically attribute is that the Fallout series has Bloody Mess. So I may be misremebering it.

I am good with either rating then.

On one level I think it runs a little contrary to Fable's nature, which is generally pretty tame.  On the other, I don't have any particular beef with the Adult tag, I've known some people who tend to use the tag just to screen their players somewhat.

I just use it so I don't have to censor myself if I don't want to.

Oh I understand that, there are just, adult things, that I do not come here for. So if you want those things I will back out. I am fine with pretty much everything but pornography lol.

So what about a public fade to black with permission to take the details privately in the event that characters do that?

Or actually, that's putting the cart before the horse, is anyone inclined to make details private or is fade to black sufficient?

Basically, there was a box that popped up that asked how long you'd sleep and whether or not you used protection before any of the Fable games I'm aware of skipped ahead, so skipping ahead is not only "not a problem for me" but also "the go to response".

So long as I am not expected to take part in it, or keep up with what is going on lol.

link to another game It's an Adult game, but since I don't know the other opinions, it may change to Mature.
