Would the Black Crusade rules work for a Gears of War RPG?

By wazza, in Black Crusade

GOW is pretty gritty with viceral combat, which sounds a lot like the systems used for DH, DW, RT and BC. With some work it could be a perfect match for a GOW RPG. You could have serveral COG classes such as the standard Gear, Tech a la Baird and an Officer/Leader type. I'm sure the weapons would be easy to create (A Lancer would be a combination autogun/chainsword) and the critical system is a match made in heaven. Thoughts?

WOW! just downloaded the weapons doc - VERY Impressive indeed. Have you had a chance to playtest any of this yet?

The assignemnts doc is incredible too. You've certainly done your homework!

Have you done any work on the Lambent or Locust Horde yet?

No,

Unfortunately I didn't have time to do so. A 170 page LARP Document for our new larp got me distracted.

Still excellent work so far. It would be interesting to see how a GOW campaign would play out. You could even play the Locust!

As it happens, I put together a set of Locust rules - Tickers, Wretches, Drones (including Cyclopses and Engineers), Snipers, Theron Guard, Boomers (including Grinders), Maulers, Kantus, Berserkers and a Brumak - the other day to use as mutant soldiers on a world in the Screaming Vortex for my Black Crusade campaign. When I get the chance, I'll type them up from my notepad and post them for people to make use of.

I love you.

I've yet to play Gears of War but recently bought an Xbox so will probably do so sometime.

If you have anything else I'd like to have it as well (love what you've done so far): bladerunner_35 [at] hotmail [dot] com.

I really like the idea of making one of the chaos worlds of the Vortex into a "Gears of War"-world.
