I love old time dramas, the radio filter and trans atlantic accent just tickles a part of my brain (probaly a radio fanatic in a previous life.

Anyone got recommendations?

I'm looking for heroic novels, something like old disney adventures movies.

No satires, inversions or depressing versions of the genre like Bright Sword or Don Quixote.

I want stories of good heroes & evil kings.

I don’t have a problem, with mature themes and or realism.

References to what i read, The Grail Quest, The Traitor Son Cycle, The Once and Future King.

I would be interested in discussing it plus the other contents of this line as well.

I been waiting to spring this on my players for a long time.

(Apologies in advance for other gms for the lack of rules and rolls explanation most of it is from my own homebrew and i have a shitty ass memory)

So Backrooms movie, i watched it, it’s great and gave me a ton of ideas.

So one of my players a exiled byzantine knight was returning to his manor during winter phase, on the road he was traveling there was a roman ruin in good condition which he paid carpenters and artesans to keep it in good shape, unfortunately his serjant failed on his security rolls and a robber knight and his pack settled in the ruin.

When he stumbled into them, he challenged the robber knight into a duel and he absolutely fumbled his charge roll, but he nailed his lucky roll.

Good news: he killed the opposing knight.

Bad news: he charged straight into a wall.

Mixed news: he was not dead but on a endless roman metropolis.

He spent the entire winter phase, trying to survive mythologicial monsters, got a exploration roll so bad he stumbled into the Minotaurs labyrinth (i know not roman related but i found it a good idea), and losing all his armor and his horse

Did not help that my other players are gremlins and to not make the game boring let them control his fate.

Whole thing ended when he saw a lance coming out of the wall, and decided to investigate it leading him to step back into the real world.

Winter had come to an end, and it was the beginning of spring, when he looked around he found it he was back at the ruin and the lance that saved him was the from the robber knights decaying corpse who's body was thrown near the wall.

He burned the whole place down and made his way back home.

If the title is too vague, let me explain.

I love Hyperborea, i play it pretty much all of the time (because i praise Crom and love Conan), but sometimes i like variety and running some medieval fantasy is always fun.

So is there a rpg equal to Hyperborea but non sword and sorcery, OSE for me is too rules lite and begginer (not a bad thing, but it's not my vibe), DCC (love it, but too gonzo and multi setting for what i am looking for + weird dice).

What are you folks suggestions.

Hi, i got interested in the setting and i am watching the anime to get a fiel of the series.

I am a rpg enthusiast, and i wanted to know how to start in the rpg also.

So far i found many core system, sword world (1,2,2.5), crystania & the official rpg(though it looks like it's only avaible in japanese)

Which of them is reccomend?
