Proposal for Fantasy Sci-fi game

A long while ago on a different site I started a fantasy sci-fi pbp game. I would really like to restart it here on RPoL. In the game world every race had a different home world of there own. It wasn't till the discovery of a special magic that allowed the different races to travel beyond there planets. Some of the race suffered greatly during this time. For instance the dwarves home world exploded and now they live in stone and steel ships. Harvesting what they can from the asteroid field that was once there home and living nomadicly. Or evil wood elves who try to drop world seeds on planets to turn then into giant jungles in the process killing all other life. Ships travel FTL by entering an elemental dimension based off of what elemental is powering your ship. So a water elemental send you to the plane of water and so on. Only a few special people and devices can control them to. And the joys of defending your shipfrom goblin pirates or astiroid spiders.There was a ton of lore and info I had made and it was very Final Fantasy ish . so i was wondering if there where some people interested in this type of game.

 I wasnt sure if I would run it free form or under a D&D/pathfinder system but suggestions are welcome.and I would be happy to elaborate on anything if asked.

Pathfinder would work perfectly well for this and I would play in a heartbeat.

Sounds sorta-kinda like D&D's Spelljammer setting—which means the D&D rule-set would probably serve very well (and Pathfinder might serve even better, depending on which edition of D&D you're talking about).

0.0 Thief!

Just joking, my setting has major differences (though the similarities are uncanny), but I'd still be interested in exploring your take on this.

Re: Proposal for Fantasy Sci-fi game

The evil wood elves actually sound like an original idea.

Do all of the races stay seperated or are there a few neutral or central places where races freely mix?

How much do you see technology playing a role in the system?

Re: Proposal for Fantasy Sci-fi game

well im awfully glad that people are interested. its also neat that your setting DarkLightHitomi is close to mine.

as for technology it depends on the race .Wood elves grow there ships and weapons from plants. while regular elves will actually use magic and materials. humans and dwarves are the main races to use heavy technology. Ranging from steam punk like ships. to the sleek state of the art home world ships made from the strongest metals and best magic. it depends on what is needed and what can be afforded.

Also the races do mingle among each other across the galexy. They just started on different home worlds.

with a few people interested ill start creating the game. And i hope that a few more take interest as well.Also i have a bunch of this info on an obsidian portal site already if any one is interested i can rmail it to them.

Re: Proposal for Fantasy Sci-fi game

If game details of the ships aren't important, I suggest Fantasy AGE (with some equipment from the Titansgrave Setting.) although I've always wanted to get into a GURPS Spaceships 7 game where characters are built using GURPS Dungeon Fantasy.

Re: Proposal for Fantasy Sci-fi game

I'd rather stick to a system I know right now, which means d20

Re: Proposal for Fantasy Sci-fi game

All right i have decided to use the 5th edition D&D system for the game. for the reason that i am so familiar with it and with D&D as a whole. Once i get the game made i will Rmail those who showed interest they will considered first from the RTJ.

Re: Proposal for Fantasy Sci-fi game

I have only glanced through the playtest for 5e. I don't have anything more recent about though, and I don't know what changed.

I'm willing to try 5e, but I don't expect much from it, seemed to me like it went too far the opposite direction from 4e, while keeping the shackles of classes and spell lists without any of the stuff that made 3.x good enough to overlook those shackles.
