Hellas: Worlds of Sun & Stone

Hoy traemos, aunque parezca mentira, un juego de rol futurista, en donde no se han complicado mucho con la ambitación, ya que han pasado la historia helénica a un mundo futurista, en donde los Hellenos se han expandido por el universo -cuyos sectores espaciales estan configurados como esa parte del mediterraneo-, llevando su cultura y forma de vida a otras razas, y entre las que tienen, como no, enemigos: los Zorans y los peligrosisimos Atlanteanos. No, que no se han calentado mucho la cabeza. Claro que todo eso es premeditado.
La propia ambientación de juego nos propone jugar como un miembro de una de las diversas razas existentes, representando a un héroe en busca de su destino, de manera que puedan narrar historias épicas como si de antiguas tragedias griegas se tratase -si, como si queremos recrear la busqueda del Vellocino de Oro con nuestros personajes.

El sistema de juego utilizado es el Omni System, que utiliza un D20 para la resolución de las acciones, y en el caso de este juego, se añade un sistema propio de magia -Dynamism-, que resulta demasiado abierto. Por lo demas, el libro basico trae todo lo necesario para empezar a jugar: reglas de creación de heroes, equipo -de todo, incluyendo armas y naves-, bestiario e incluso una campaña para empezar a jugar...

Wine Dark Void

Sing to me of the man, Muse, the man of twists and turns, driven time and again off course, once he had plundered the hallowed heights of Troy.

But he could not save them from disaster, hard as he strove.

Planetary Survey: Korinthos

Korinthos is the crossroads of the galaxy, the most important trading center of the Hellenes, and a haven for those seeking to make a profit. It is a planet of banking, merchants, and vice. Covered by a megatropolis known to locals as "The City," there is a planet hidden beneath the towering spires, spreading plazas, and elevated ports. Korinthos has largely been protected as a neutral planet as a great deal of the galaxy's finance is handled here. Alongside the legitimate business, large crime syndicates flourish here. Police and the government regulate traffic entering and leaving, but have little influence down on the streets and so many institutions run their own private security forces.

Pues parece space opera de la que mola, divertida y espectacular. Eso si, ¿sistema demsiado abierto de magia? ¿A que te refieres con eso?

Dorsai dijo...

Es un sistema que me recuerda mucho al de Mago. Particularmente, me gustan las cosas mas concretas y no dejadas a la imaginación del jugador, que luego hay discusiones que joden la partida -por lo menos en los grupos en los que he jugado :P

Deka Black dijo...

Justito lo que me imaginaba. Pues un sistema si ami loque me resulta es vago. poco concreto, vaya.
