Iron Gods entirely set on a giant ship or asteroid habitat?


Iron Gods


Hello Gamer Nation!

I had a crazy idea to set the entire Iron Gods AP on a ruined colony ship or asteroid habitat, inspired by Metamorphosis Alpha (old school rpg originally from 1976).

The ship/habitat would need to have large open areas to support the villages and cities in the campaign. The various dungeons would generally be either built down into the rock or be buildings/locations that are part of the ship.

For those of you familiar with the campaign, do you think this would work? What pitfalls or story connections might be difficult or need to be rethought to make this work?

Thanks!

well a large part of the AP is not on a ship...

but you could easily do a campaign where a ship crashed on a distant planet ( maybe even a small moon) .. and thats where the party comes into the quest

I'm not sure if you have read thru iron gods yet ( i dont wanna give away too much)

but you can def go with a old school spelljammer feel !


The AP is very firmly set on Golarion... which is a planet. I'd suggest you read the whole AP before you start rewriting.

You could run it like you say, but it will be a TON of work to re-tool! You'd probably be better off writing your own campaign, while stealing greatly from your source material.

It would require a lot of re-writing, but you could set the AP on Apostae... the PCs are androids and/or descendants/survivors of the Androffan (and other races) crew.

You could very definitely do this...with a lot of reworking. I think that'd be very cool and a call back to Metamorphosis Alpha.

the AP is pretty clearly set in techno-barbarian land. i dunno what advantage it would be to move it to a space ship.
