I feel it could be cool to have that Moorish Spain connection in your alt-history Mayan recreation, too (talking of my very own preferences), although do not know if that would slot in as you will have envisioned.  At any charge, please preserve us knowledgeable on the progress of your recreation.  Are you utilizing an present system to construct on, or utterly home-built?  (Sorry if that is off-topic.)

The recreation takes place properly earlier than the invention of the continent by Columbus, will not be coping with that, however I do have some Vikings touchdown on Mayapan and a few cultural trade occurs, this might need additionally modified how the remainder of the world developed by making each Mayas and Vikings a super-power.

Much to Pundit’s dismay it is not traditionally correct (It cannot be since we all know too little in regards to the Maya civilization and what we do “know” might be coloured/contaminated by the Spaniards), but it surely’s High Fantasy.

Ok, cool–Vikings might be a cool addition to that.

One “Mayan-flavored” film that I’ve all the time loved was The Fountain, although that does contain the Spanish (and a really, very traditionally inaccurate Spanish).

What form of magic system?  Any nods to a chocolate-based economic system (or heck, chocolate utilized in non secular or magical ceremonies) or wide-reaching commerce networks?

Any ideas on a Xibalba journey?  Any wild issues like Ancient Astronauts (I do know, an actual trope) and even stuff from the Book of Mormon?

Thought the Vikings can be a very good addition.

I’m utilizing White Box FMAG because the chasis in order that magic system however the spells and components might be modified to permit for the flavour.

Cacao was the coin of the realm, it was used on non secular ceremonies and the Maya did not make the excellence between arcane/divine magic.

Xibalba is a should, what I must determine is what it’s. Is it a metaphysical place or is it the hole earth?

The historic astronauts factor is sorta racist IMHO however I do make a nod to it.

No, no e-book of mormon primarily as a result of I have already got a lot of shit to analysis, I’m deeply blind to my ancestors tradition.

Xibalba is a should, what I must determine is what it’s. Is it a metaphysical place or is it the hole earth?

That’s an fascinating query.  I suppose I’d have a tendency in the direction of the “hole earth” factor, it could enable a OS “dungeon crawl” with an fascinating growth on the very finish…however metaphysical can be cool, too.

The historic astronauts factor is sorta racist IMHO however I do make a nod to it.

I hear you…the implication that “oh, these individuals could not have achieved it on their very own, they should have had assist.”  But sure, historic cultures may and did carry out nice feats of engineering.

No, no e-book of mormon primarily as a result of I have already got a lot of shit to analysis, I’m deeply blind to my ancestors tradition.

Ok, understood.  I’m not a Mormon, however I do suppose it could be enjoyable to have some BOM stuff in historic America.  But yeah, Maya in and of themselves is a ton of analysis and permits for loads of storytelling.

Sorry oppresing my spouse whereas we communicate by cooking. (As in I’m doing the cooking)

Yeah, I additionally thought Xibalba as Hollow Earth was the best way to go however I’m nonetheless undecided.

Since we do not know a lot in regards to the tradition I’m going with they consider they have been capable of go to the celebs at one level, it’d grow to be additional adventures looking for the traditional spaceships.

As for the Cacao as cash factor, will probably be within the lore however not within the precise recreation because it’s an excessive amount of hasle, I’m going with cross-polynization among the many Maya and the Vikings to justify utilizing customary cash from the fundamental recreation.

Same factor is what led me to suppose they may change into the primary two superpowers, perhaps even colonizing Africa.

Tangent, admittedly.

The Mormon mythology was one if the higher elements of oBSG. An RPG based mostly on that stuff can be a number of enjoyable.

This just isn’t that RPG, although. This one seems like enjoyable for solely completely different causes.

Could be a number of enjoyable, however I’m not your man, I’ve bought my arms full, between doing analysis for the Mayan one, creating monsters and stuff for the others and doing analysis/creating stuff for my secret western mission.

I feel a non-racist model of the traditional astronauts factor may very well be to make the traditional astronauts the literal ancestors of the mayincatec individuals.

How did you acquire entry to my paperwork in my pc huh?

Seriously tho, that is waht I’m doing, it additionally lends itself to creating the sport extra Gonzo.

I’m not psychic, so I’m guessing that it is simply a straightforward connection to make. Altho post-apocalyptic fiction mostly takes place after the event of the nuclear bomb within the twentieth century, there isn’t any motive that you may’t have historic civilizations nuke themselves again to the stone age.

When the warrior is created the PC should select a path: The Eagle, The Jaguar or the Serpent.

This determines among the class talents and at third degree the warrior positive aspects one capability of their animal totem, then yet another each different odd degree and at tenth degree the flexibility to take hybrid kind.

Thoughts?

Some ideas on the Warrior class:

I like this mechanic!  While I are likely to desire a sure “openness” of character creation, that is truly a very good role-playing mechanic and never an arbitrary class limitation.  It’s based mostly on the lore, somewhat than simply some synthetic mechanic to “stability issues out.”

Well, you might all the time say your warrior droped out of college (must give you a reputation for the mayan equal of the calmecac), or he is only a commoner however good at fighthing with out formal coaching.

Or you might select to be a hunter.
