[self-promotion] Base Raiders: The Superpowered Dungeon Crawling RPG Kickstarter is live

[Ross Payton]

Hi guys,

As you may know, I podcast an ongoing Wild Talents campaign called The Heroes of New Arcadia - it's online here http://actualplay.roleplayingpublicradio.com/tag/new-arcadia/

I've taken the ideas I developed during the campaign and outlined a standalone RPG called Base Raiders. I just launched a Kickstarter to pay for a finished game (art, printing, editing and so forth) http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/rosspayton/base-raiders-the-superpowered-dungeon-crawling-rpg

Base Raiders uses the FATE RPG engine instead of Wild Talents mainly because I want to implement new rules for powers - switching or changing powers radically during a game. I think it would be easier to do that with the Kerberos Club Skill/Power system than Wild Talents - no need to recalculate power costs and so forth - just replace one skill with another.

Anyway, I have a Wild Talents conversion guide as a free PDF as a stretch goal for the project so if it gets overfunded you can use the ORE to run Base Raiders.

Thanks and back to regularly scheduled ORE discussion :)

I had no idea... downloading those suckers now. :]

I'll have to watch the next fight of Wallet vs Kickstarter and see who wins. (Holidays coming up and all that...)

Will it be available later on? (Like next year.)

I'll tell you, while I Love the FATE system, I have never found a super-powers version of it that I was happy with. If Base Raiders can get that done, I'm all for it.

Yes, I'll make the book available for sale once the Kickstarter concludes.

Just thinkin'… 

would´t you be better off just making the Wild Talents Conversion Guide available if Base Raiders gets funded ? 

That would incentivize people like me, who dig ORE (presumably a lot of the people following the Cult of ORE group) but have no special interest in FATE.

 As it is, the slim chance that it Base Raiders might go over enough to trigger the stretch goal conversion guide won't get me to commit.

The WT conversion guide is the first stretch goal. I am confident it will meet that goal. If it does, I'll let you guys know :)
