Hyoseph Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Most everybody, unless they've been living under a rock for the past two decades, has heard of Warcraft. Orcs, Humans, Horde, Alliance, all that. Even before World of Warcraft took the internet by storm, Blizzard and the associated creative writers had built a full, thriving world that covered far more than the wargames even touched on. ,, Who would be interested in playing a game that was set in this universe? My thought is that the time frame would be sometime just after the events of Warcraft III: the Frozen Throne. The Horde / Alliance war is in full swing, the Scourge has largely withdrawn to the north (exceptions made for certain areas on the mainland where the undead still hold sway) and the Burning Legion has been defeated for some time now. ,, The players themselves could be a number of different makeups depending on how cosmopolitan the players want to be. Horde? Alliance? Both? Some third / fourth / fifth faction? The options are wide and varied, whether the players want to save the world or destroy it, there's a faction for it. (Of course the PC's could always set out as independents and make their own way though honestly that last option is a lot more player-driven than most ST games are meant to be) ,, What do people think?

Dave ST Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Did you know they made a d20 RPG of WoW not too long back? A complete game using the 3.5 edition rules and a few they threw together. ,, Search for "world of warcraft rpg pdf" and I think it's the second option on Google. It's free to download.

Hyoseph Posted March 26, 2014 Author Share Posted March 26, 2014 I have the whole line, legitimately, no less If / when this game goes off, this is where the majority of my lore / setting information will be coming from. (WoWWiki only goes so far) ,, The main reason my first suggestion for system was MnM was that the system for the original rpg was more than a little clunky, being derived from D&D 3.0 and early 3.5. With that in mind, if folks would prefer to use the the d20 system we can do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave ST Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I know people hate hearing this, but: Converting the WoW stuff to Pathfinder is easy as pie. It's a far better and more stable d20 system. ,, Now, I don't want to be that guy who swoops in and says "No! Use this system instead!" I don't want you to think that's my intent. I was only referring to the d20 version in case you weren't aware that a RPG resource already existed. ,, Which ever you would like to go with, I'll help anyone who needs help. Especially if you decide to go with a little d20 action. I could convert a single race/class over for someone in as little as five minutes.

Jeremy Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I propose a band of sensible, clever PCs who form their own faction and take over the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyoseph Posted March 26, 2014 Author Share Posted March 26, 2014 System-wise, I could go either way. particularly if there's someone with high PF rules fu that is able to go through select Warcraft stuff and convert it. My rules fu with the game isn't that high. System is secondary, however, to whether or not folks would play in a game with this setting and what sort of group we would be making affiliation / motivation wise.

Stargaizer Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I never got all that into WoW. I am, however, into fantasy, 3.5 & Pathfinder. Color me a maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SalmonMax Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 It's an interesting notion. M&M and PF are both happy things for me. ,, I'd definitely see if I could whip up a character for it if you decided to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heritage Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 I too would be interested, though I only know WoW stuff from my step-mom's obsessive play of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyoseph Posted March 27, 2014 Author Share Posted March 27, 2014 So far I have an Interested from ,, Jeremy Heritage SMax ,, a Maybe from Stargaizer ,, and an "I'll Help" from Revenant. I think this is honestly sufficient interest to start putting together details, such as a basic setting primer for the unfamiliar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
