So, what RPG system would you use for this book? - robkelk - 02-27-2008

Gurporia: the Green Plague, by Wade Woodbury

"Gurporia was the most beautiful land anyone could imagine. The Gurps who lived in this wonderful place had done so for countless generations, until now. A massive plague, the Green Plague, is devouring all of Gurporia, which forces a small band of Gurps on a tiring quest for their survival. Their journey is by far, not safe, as they encounter savage Tolspick, conniving Barbits and numerous other foe as they struggle to find a safe haven."

I'm sure there's an appropriate game system to adapt this book to, but I can't imagine what it might be...

Hero System of course.

I'm not sure about some of the choices made so far. A couple of thme are based on rookie growing to master.

Hero and BESM could probably do it. Al-Shard is another.

I'm going to have to say Amber or one of the other 'storytelling' systems.

The one I'm thinking of, I can't recall the name of. You were playng charcters that would go through a fairy tale. When the tale was done, you started
a new character and a new story.

Naaaah, FASA's old MechWarrior system - with the conversion linkage to Classic Battletech. Clearly this is
meant for seriously heavy metal.

Oh, come on. I haven't met a game that couldn't be played in First Edition D&D. Or Paranoia- I don't
care which.
