Fading Suns BW style

[Kaare Berg]

Just a quick quetion,

has anyone done any work at converting Fading Suns to BW, I am toying with the ides, and the lifepaths look simple enough to do, but I am thinking Firearms and such wonderfull things such as spaceships and psi.

Jeez, i don't know if I even have my notes any more... I can't find the character sheet or anything that we used.

I remember the conversion being fairly simple -- it only took us one night to do. Psi was handled like Faith, I'm pretty sure.

check out this thread for our gun-combat rules:

Also, I'm fairly certain that BW is the only game that handles energy shields (what were they called?) in a remotely satisfying way. They simply act as armor dice that cover the whole body, no matter the rating. They fail on ones, like armor. Some shields are affected by VA, some aren't.


As for ships...that's a whole different matter. Though we do have BW ship combat rules, they're pretty tactical (as you might imagine) but they need a rewrite (which I don't have time for right now).

let know what you come up with!

Did this ever go anywhere? My group is discussing it and it'd be nice to discover that the work has already been done for us... :D

I have done allot of work with the FS system and the conversions (I colaborated with a person in Seattle to convert the whole thing to Seventh Sea!).

Let me know if you need any help. FS is one of my favorate Settings.. Well written with lots of depth (though "recent hisotry" is a bit lean).
