I may be setting myself up for failure, but I am trying to convert the Dragonstar RPG to the Pathfinder RPG rules. I plan to do it in two parts.

A while ago, I got bored and was talking with friends about how any good movie could be remade over and over again.. mix it up, change the genre, and put enough self referencing jokes and you could be on a spinner..So we discussed the concept of star Wars, remade as a fantasy.. Imagine, Opening scene, a giant Eagle is being chased by a great red dragon. On the backs of the two beasts, wizards are blasting spells at each other, dialogue between a young man, an elf and a dwarf, show that some obj... Read More
