This is sort of a thread-game (and/or game-thread^^),
in it, we recount our experiences, or boldly announce our plans, hopes and dreams, of playing one particular RPG but using the rules of a different one to do so!
I’ll start:
Right now, I’m running Dungeon World, but with Mage: the Ascension for the rules
(it started out very innocently, my players made a ranger, a paladin and a druid for a brief two-shot of DW, in order to test the game out a bit. As it happens, the ranger died sometime during the 2nd part of the adventure, and we haven’t really been getting any sequels going ever since… until now the ex-Ranger-player went out of the country for a while and we others decided, hey, let’s make Dark Ages Mage characters out of the Druid and the Paladin! Worked wonderfully for the first two sessions so far )
We use the setting of a pseudo-medieval fantasy world (lots of kingdoms, goblins, wizards, dragons, elves… unrealistically closely arrayed climate zones… you know the drill…), with a certain “dark twisted fairy tales” vibe to it,
and the rules are Mage: the Ascension (“old” World of Darkness in youngster jargon, which to me however is still known simply as “the” World of Darkness ^^)… yes, that game that is renowned as one of the most head-breaking and un-runable games ever to be released
What games have you played, or would love to play, by a different ruleset from what originally came with it?
