Bas-Lag RPG

[el_skootro]

I didn't see this anywhere else here, so I thought I'd let everyone know that Adamant Entertainment will be producing an RPG set in China Meiville's Bas-Lag world.

Very nice! Thanks for the tip!

[James Keegan]

Wow, that's really exciting. Thanks for bringing it up! Does Adamant have their own ruleset for Victorian steampunk stuff?

[Heathansson]

Yeah; what ruleset is it gonna be? I'm grokking to this.

[James Keegan]

I checked out the website; they have some d20 products, though that doesn't mean this will be made with the D&D OGL.

[Heathansson]

Cool.

[Vattnisse]

YEEEESSSSSSS!!!

*ahem*

I mean, nice. Carry on, everyone.

[Kassil]

I am skeptical that they'll get the feel right. Some parts of Bas-Lag are gonna be this side of impossible to 'get' in anything aside from the novel format.

[varianor]

How will it compare to the Dragon article? (Which I have yet to acquire. Sigh.)

I love the idea. The execution of course remains to be seen.

[EATERoftheDEAD]

Interesting idea. I hadn't heard of him much before the Dragon article and I have now gone and picked up Un Lun Dun. It's not Bas-Lag but it's still pretty good and not as much like Neverwhere as I expected at first.

Haha, nope! In case you're wondering, Adamant is currently waiting on Gareth M. Skarka to finish his famously late Far West Kickstarter. So, maybe once that one's finished they might actually start working on Tales of New Crobuzon. So, optimistic guess, maybe we'll see it in 2020?

A 7 year, 11 month necro has got to be some sort of record.

Someday, someone is going to dig up a Sumerian cuneiform tablet, translate it, and argue about how the opinion of whoever wrote it was wrong.

Look, all I'm saying is that however high level Gilgamesh was he couldn't have built the walls of Uruk in the time given in the Epics all by himself. I maintain that he was either a cheat or that he was allowed to do it by DM fiat. If you'll just refer to the construction tables in the Rules Cyclopedia...
