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.

Beyond the Wall Thought Exercise

So although I'm not a fan of the underlying system I really dig the character and community generation of Beyond the Wall. Since work is inherently boring I've been pondering the game and got to wondering how would people adapt it to;
 
1.       Mythras
2.       Genesys
 
Could you generate stats and the various accoutrements of a Beyond the wall character with the above? Particularly Genesys which doesn't incorporate random character builds.
Talk gaming or talk to someone else.

I'm not familiar with Genesys, but seems to me Mythras would work well enough, just use their Classic Fantasy supplement which mimics D&D's classes

The Exploited.

As Jeremy said...

I reckon you could easily do it with Mythras or better yet Magic world. The RQ system has loads of stuff for rituals as well, which would suit it too.

I changed the entire underlying system to something more narrative. I don't care to explain specifics and you wouldn't be able to use it without my dice software anyway (multiple types of rich dice, one for each stat and some generic extras, with varied distributions of six positive and six negative icons of various meanings). It was fun anyway.

However...

Quote from: HorusArisen;10581942.       Genesys
8 or less = 1 green die
9-12 = 2 green dice
13-15 = 3 green dice
16-17 = 4 green dice
18+ = 5 green dice

BAB +1/+2 = 1 upgrade
BAB +3/+4 = 2 upgrades
BAB +5/+6 = 3 upgrades
BAB +7/+8 = 4 upgrades
BAB +9/+10 = 5 upgrades

Skills = 2 upgrades (or 4 upgrades when taken twice)

AC = 1 black die per dex bonus, 1 or 2 black dice for shield, 1 difficulty upgrade for leather, 2 for chain, 3 for chain & plate, 4 for full plate

Leave HP and weapon damage as is.

Figure out save upgrades somehow.

Translate minor bonuses from knacks and such as blue dice.

Iron out the kinks, but screw Genesys combat system, too complex for this, just roll to hit and damage.
