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.

Sweet. One of my first thoughts when I read HotB was that it would be a good match for Amber. The Blood Rituals in particular are IMO a better fit for the feel of magic in the first series than the Sorcery power in the ADRPG.

The AmberCon Arizona Forums got messed up, but I still have my conversion notes on PDF. If anyone wants to look at stuff for it let me know.

Also, here's a recent post on my LiveJournal: http://nihilisticmind.livejournal.com/8126.html

It's not quite Amber, but it's Amberesque and uses a similar system as HotBlooded.
Running:
Dungeon Crawl Classics (influences: Elric vs. Mythos, Darkest Dungeon, Castlevania).
DCC In Space!
Star Wars with homemade ruleset (Roll&Keep type system).
