I think D&D 4E rules might be a better fit....

I think it will work because I really love Savage Worlds but think it would work better with the Savage Worlds rules.

You will also need to trim the fat off trim the fat, which will give us just "trim". I think you could do the core rules with the core rules, but you might need the SPC to convert the SPC.

By nature of my location and gaming style, I wind up running a lot of games that are just me and one player.
Savage Worlds is much better suited to the "Bioware" style of gaming than just about any RPG I have seen (that is, one PC and a slew of supporting NPCs). In fact, this is how my short-lived Solomon Kane campaign went, and how I ran a fantasy game once. I did the roleplaying for the NPCs, the player did all the heavy lifting, decision-making (with input from relevant NPCs as needed) and tactical decision making (again, with relevant input as needed. It really did work remarkably well, and I'd do it in a heartbeat again (unless I had a player who was just REALLY uncomfortable making the tactical decisions for a whole group in combat).

I would love to see a Skyrealms of Jorune conversion at some point. I've tried for the last couple of years to work on one, but it's growing into a horrible monstrosity. Some of the setting concepts seem so wrapped up in the system that it seems difficult to do a simple conversion.
Someone mentioned Treasure Planet a while back, I did that with one of my homeschool groups. It was pretty fast and loose, I basically used Slipstream rules with a bit of POTSM thrown in for describing the ships. It was a lot of fun.
Reign of Discordia was mentioned a while back too. I was playing with a conversion of that today for a while. The book doesn't have too much crunch as far as I can see, it was just a matter of converting the races and adapting some of the weapons. I haven't looked at the spaceships in detail yet, but from a quick glance, they could easily be replaced by the sample ships in the Sci-Fi Gear Toolkit

I'd also like to see "Rapture: The Second Coming" from 1995 savaged.

This surprises me a bit - it has been a while since I pored through my copy, but SoJ is 90% setting flavour, I would have thought you could do it with the racial-creation guidelines from SWD and map the Dyshas onto powers, with a 50-fathoms-type elemental magic division used for colours. I would drop all of SoJs mechanics like a dead donkey - lovely concept, beautiful art, horrible crunch.

Color and Isho got fairly complicated, as many of the Dyshas don't convert so easily to Powers. Also, some of the Isho skills such as interference, and signature skills got fairly complicated. However it may be my lack of understanding of the system, sometimes it seems as if Isho and Color have more than one meaning.

| It's not an RPG, but earlier tonight I was watching Reign of Fire for the first time in ages and came to the realization it would make for one hell of a gritty post apocalyptic Savage Worlds game. |

I'd like to see Dragonstar and Broncosaurus Rex get savaged.

I think that Iron Claw might do well Savaged.

Did I mention City of Heroes? I really should have mentioned it.
And it should include the free Costume Generator that was realesed to the Koreans (but not here for some strange reason).

Having just checked out Green Ronin's RPG, A Song of Ice and Fire, I really like the way that the House system is set up and a lot of the system seems really well done to me.
A cool House management system would be pretty cool to translate into Savage Worlds, not sure how well it would hold up to the FFF paradigm though. . .
Does the Headquarters thing introduced in the Super Powers companion offer anything similar? |

Someone had the same idea. The house management system from ASOIAFRPG is not terribly fun but it is fast and gives you some great guidelines for a large tract of property.
Of course, the key to House Management is the Status attribute. An appropriate Knowledge skill (management, politics, etc.) would be good for that. Circumstance modifiers similar to those in the book, with a big loss on Critical Failure, small loss on Failure, neutral on Success, improvement on a Raise, and massive growth on Two or more Raises.

Nope. Just a system to own and design an extensive headquarters.
Best of luck.

Hey thanks! I don't remember ever seeing that last time I checked out SavageHeroes. |

What about 7th Sea? The bloodline magic lends itself well to various Arcane Backgrounds with limited power selections.
A Porte mage would get powers like Teleport and Legerdemain and so on. An El Fuego Adentro mage would have bolt and blast and whatnot with fire trappings. A Glamour mage? Disguise, obscure, boost/lower trait, and the like. The Ussuran mages (the name of which I can't recall at the moment) would get shapechange, boost trait, beast friend, and such. You could even use the Alchemy AB for Blood Magic.
But, as was experienced with AEG came out with a d20 version of 7th Sea, there would probably be a fan backlash that would further drive the setting into oblivion.

The Morrow Project
The Morrow Project Supply Bunker
In the Morrow Project characters are placed in suspended animation to be awaken after a known upcoming nuclear/biological/chemical attack. Their job is to help reinstate civilization. But, from playing the game, the characters get mostly caught up in just trying to stay alive.
From the back of the rules-book...
"One hundred and fifty years after the Third World War the members of the Morrow Project wake to a strange world. Instead of being a part of an organized plan to rebuild our civilization they find themselves isolated in a world where the War is only a distant legend, the people are ignorant of anything but the struggle to survive and strange mutated animals that haunt their footsteps."
Lots of fun. Just itching to be Savaged!

| I do not think it has been mentioned, but in my younger years I played equal amounts of D&D and Robotech. I am not an anime guy, but I do love Robotech. I still have all the books, even though I have sold most of my Non-Savage Worlds RPG books. I do not know how the giant robot/jet rules would work out, but the over the top fight scenes could be pulled off by Savage Worlds. |
