This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Any suggestions out there for how to adjust/tweak the careers in Barbarians of Lemuria Mythic Edition to fit He-Man? The MotU characters didn't necessarily have previous careers they spent time in prior to becoming adventurers and this mechanic is essential to the game since these act as your skills.

Can Cartoon Action Hour Season 3 do a harder-edged/more adult MotU?

Swap them out for a small and limited skill list? After all Careers in BoL are designed to replace skills in D&D.

If I wanted to do something that used the system from BoL, I'd look at the Everywhen RPG, which is a more generic version of BoL.

I have Everywhen but haven't read it all yet.  I believe it uses careers for skills as well, correct?

Idea, don't use either careers or skills beyond those already included in the class/race Instead give them each appropriate class feats:

He-Man.- Mighty Leap, etc
Skeletor.- Life Siphon (treat like vampire bite or energy leech), etc.

These should be already on each class from the start.

Disclaimer, the idea comes from the MotU boardgame cards, so if you have those you're already ahead of the game.

IF you read Spanish there's a free game system that has a MotU conversion/setting (full game) available for legal download both in PDF and DOC.

Just scroll down a little and you'll find the link to download it.

That MotU game in Spanish looks awesome! Thanks for that.  If I could somehow translate the doc I'd be all over that.

IF (and that's a big if) life doesn't get in the way, I could translate it (without fancy formating) in about two weeks, interested?

Deal, consider it done even if it takes me a little over two weeks.

Please pop it up for all to see, as I'd be interested too.
I'm a middle aged guy with a lot of free time, looking for similar, to form a group for regular gaming. You should be chill, non-woke, and have time on your hands.
