Alternate Rules Systems for Pathfinder?


Lost Omens Campaign Setting General Discussion


Just wondering if anybody out there is considering running Pathfinder in any systems other than D&D?

My players have gotten quite bored and a little bit jaded with the D&D rules and I have been looking into alternatives.

Right now the top contenders are True20 and the Warhammer FRPG game, with the latter being extremely new to me.

True20 looks like a very simple system that is VERY easy to convert from any d20 source. While the Warhammer FRPG game seems a lot more gritty and realistic, with more rules, but more emphasis on player backgrounds and their upbringing.

Anyone else have any ideas? Or have you already started a game with another rules system?


I haven't started it yet, but I was also considering True20 for Rise of the Runelords. You don't have to worry about converting anything; it's already being done for you. Conversions for the first two adventures are available for download right here on the Paizo site. They're somewhere in the store. Don't ask me where, I seem to have a difficult time finding my way around it.

I love WFRP, but I wouldn't use it as a replacement system. To me, it belongs in the Old World, and that's where I leave it.

I have a vague recollection of Paizo saying something about them asking Mongoose to come up with a conversion for RuneQuest. If that is true, then that hasn't produced fruit, at least not yet.

I've been thinking about Hero. So flexible, so dynamic, and Monks mean something! ; )

Now, if only I could find/create a magic system that would be balanced enough. I suppose that since the entire rogues gallery would have to be recreated that it would wouldn't really matter how the system is created.

No prob. Anytime.


I am aware of the True20 conversions, but I have noted a few errors here and there with them, and I have also identified some places where I wanted to change out some of the stuff to make it fit my campaign better.

I think I'm definitely going to try out True20 for Pathfinder, but am also debating on running a WFRP game as the world seems really cool, and there are so many free modules for download on their site.

Plus Green Ronin is coming out with a campaign arc for the setting which you know will be spectacular!
