What do you all think about using Barbarians of Lemuria Mythic Edition to do a Masters of the Universe campaign in the sword & sorcery spirit of the minicomics? My fave sword & sorcery RPG ever I think would be a good fit with a couple of tweaks.

Are there alt magic systems that could be used to mimic some of the MotU powers in Everywhen? I own the book and PDF, but haven't read it yet.  I'd also have to tweak careers to somehow fit MotU.

Has anyone seen/found a good way to do superhuman strength in BoL?

Superpowers in BoL: https://barbariansoflemuria.webs.com/League%20of%20Heroes%20v0.H.pdf

As for the magic in everywhen, don't remember, but IMHO it would need to be customized to the setting, now, the mechanics? It depends on what you're going for, in the cartoons they can cast spells all day long but the more powerful spells (or the attack on them) the caster gets fatigued, so a fatigue based system?

I think my Magic Points system could be modified to work off the casters stats.

In looking at the Everywhen version of BoL, this could work really well for a MotU campaign! It even has some simple scale rules on pg 31 that would model He-Man's super strength really well.

Keep us posted and please do share your modifications (I would be down for a PbP game [sadly I have no chance to add another online ongoing campaign due to IRL stuff])

How is your translation work doing for that MotU game in Spanish?

Still about 26 pages to go, I might finish today or tomorrow if life doesn't get in the way.

Keep me posted! I'm anxious to look at this and get your opinion on it as well.  I wonder if it is good.

Hopefully we will get some MotU action going soon.

Will do, so far I like the lore, not so much the mechanics, they also gave deities stats WTAF!? I'm having trouble finding some of the creatures they listed in ANY MotU lore fansite. I'm also gonna have to put those in alphabetical order.
