First Look at Rooney Mara as Lisbeth Salander

Ack the Swedish trilogy has JUST finished... why remake this. They were good films that followed the books (not perfectly I admit but well enough). Why Hollywood Why!

This will be Let The Right On In all over again.

Meh, when you start adapting another work, there's room for more than one interpretation.

And Hollywood's interpretations are usually abominations.

Agreed.

I don't mean to be a pain.. but there is a thread for new (and old converted) creatures. Wouldn't it be easier to stick them there, still with the FCDB link of course. Less forum spam that way.

I had the pleasure of seeing on of these once at a local wargames trade show. Absolutely amazing. It's scale size to the regular Lego Miniatures.

X+7: The magic weapon you were using to defeat a monster became lodged in its thick hide, just before it ran away wounded.

I like! Though I know only a few of the players in our group would. Some of these would be great to use at demo games, or Cons to introduce newer players to less well known or lesser used actions/tricks/concepts of the FC game.

On another note, I did wonder how long it would be until WotC started using the Magic artwork for 4E! Sigh.

Wow, I head to bed in a bit of slulk cos my brain wouldn't work; at look what I get when I return. Cheers guys, that's incredible! 

Thanks for all the ideas - Rokugan, a version of Cloak and Dagger, or something steampunky seem to be grabbing me most; but I'm definitely filing D'Troit away for a weird medieval Fallout/Hawkmoon merging!

Hmm... now to get pen to paper!

Firstly if this is considered to be in the wrong board, please move it (I was unsure).

Right, I really want to run a Fantasy Craft game at my local gaming club (weekly sessions, lasting 3 hours), primarily to show off the rules, and the game in general, with the small hope of creating a semi-regular campaign to get people coming back for more.

The problem is I'm feeling totally uninspired by what to run. Personally I wanted to try Epoch out; but after a tentative suggestion to a few of my regular players, that setting didn't seem to go down that well. I don't want to fall back on the standard High Fantasy as everyone will dismiss it as just another d20 product without giving it a fair whack. Another idea had  been a more realistic humans-only affair but in what area and era? Perhaps something dark and gothic?

How do solve a problem like Inspiration Block! I was hoping to seek guidance from the great folks of these boards. Can you help me!

Thanks in advance

Looks a very comprehensive conversion; with some very clever uses of the FC rules, as well as some inventive ones of your own. Bravo!

Just a quick point. You have the word "specie" throughout parts of the document; it's spelled "species" in English (one of those one words that's both singular and plural!).

EDIT: You also have many references to page or table XX, of which there are several throughout the document. I think you meant to put individual specific numbers on these!

Wow, that's a very impressive conversion from the Witcher game, and very compatible with what's already available from the FC guys themselves. Bravo!

I'll be trying to fit this in somewhere, after I've run my Epoch game for a while that is!

That IS a loss! And yes, let the movie marathon tribute begin.

Brilliant! Absolutely 100% brilliant.

Now to find a way to shoe-horn this into one of my games.

I think I see what you're getting at. Would it be as simple as putting the specific regional Origin options as requirements for each feat?

Yes, it would! We can call the prerequisite something like "Typical X" (X = the human subrace chosen). You are a Typical X if you select your human talent AND your specialty from the suggested ones. If your starting class is Priest, then you have also to choose your deity among those listed for your home region (a third prerequisite?).

Again don't limit force the deity to have to be picked from a list. The deities listed on the regional tables in the FRCG are the most common in that region, and are thus suggestions. Only require a specific deity or path if a character option requires it as a pre-req.

This is sort of a pulling together post of all the great ideas on here. Use it or don't use it, but @Arioch I would pick what mechanics you're going to use before you develop any further. Anyway...

I don't think you need to define both Talents and Specialities for each region. It again becomes to constricting to pick "one choice from list A and once choice from list B" to become the archetypal person from region X. Personally I would stick with Krensky's suggestion, and have a choice of "regional talents" as well as one "epitome talent"
e.g. Calishite: charismatic, agile, intelligent, cunning and Calishite

You could further tie this in with Antilles's suggestion that if you pick one of this regional talents, you receive a small benefit bonus, showing your strong heritage.

If you then wanted to allow development along regional, this would be the conversion of FR feats into compatible FC ones (or use exisiting ones e.g. FR's Calishite "Bloodline of Fire" could become FC's Elemental Heritage {forgive no rulebook around, that might be a little off})

Thoughts? Additions? Any further ideas?
