Just wondering if anyone is interested in a Robin Hood type fantasy campaign. Can be based in Greyhawk, Golarion (in fact, that one might be based in Cheliax), Forgotten Realms, or in Eberron come to think of it.
Straight up fantasy action as the outlaw band. I'm thinking of getting GURPS Robin Hood from Warehouse 23. (I have the AD&D 2nd Edition Crusades book). Yes, I had a weirdo dream last night about Keven Costner's Robin Hood. :)
In this game, you would be playing up to the dashing outlaw and his band of merry men. The enemies in the campaign include an NPC Sheriff of Nottingham, a Prince John type, and Sir Guy of Gisbourn. All fitted to the type of world it will be in.
I haven't gotten GURPS Robin Hood yet, but I'd like to know who would be interested in playing a game based on the famous, and dashing outlaw of the middle ages.

I have a copy of Robin Hood Prince of Thieves (1994) and I recall it's parody Robin Hood: Men in Tights.
Well, the best Robin Hood movie was Warner Bros The Adventures of Robin Hood made in 1938. It starred Errol Flynn and was mostly correct. If you can get past the stage fighting, which contained some of the best examples of stage combat of course.

I think the movies, highlight one's interest and the subtle ideas of the robin hood world they are likely to reference when making their characters.
Indeed. I think most people in the 21st century who know Robin Hood know him through one movie or another. Not a lot of people reading Robin Hood and the Monk. Probably still a few reading Ivanhoe, I guess.

Yes, that's true.
