View Full Version : Convert

Alright folks, it's no small feat to take over the world and whatnot so I'm requersting a bit of help here. Anyone who has good experience, intricate knowledge, or just simply wants to take a crack at doing a conversion from any other game system to Seven13: I would love your help. At the moment, I'd like to start working on d20 and NWOD/OWOD (White Wolf) conversions. Everyone is welcome to join in and help me work these out; eventually I'm hoping to have them up on the Wiki site as a reference for players who may have begun on a different game system. Any and every system is welcome, just get it going here and I'll help out in any way I can.

As per your 'requerst', I think you're going to need to be more specific on the task at hand and provide examples. First of all, I'd like to remind you that while d20 systems are typically combat oriented, just direct them to combat scenerios and allow for a random encounter table. Stupid d20... As per white wolf, just explain that combat runs close to real-time as apposed to a single combat scene dragging out through 2 hours of dice rolling. If you want to redo the Monster Manual on either... just buy a damned monster manual and rewrite it.. then pay Sean a shitload of money to redo the animations. :laugh:
GO SEAN GO!

This is always one of the first things that I think about when reading about a new system. I've had a lot of experience with the rules behind both of the systems that you mentioned. White Wolf seems simpler than d20 in my head, even as far as Avatar Tricks relating to Vampiric disciplines and Ethromancy related to the system that Mage uses. Werewolf I've never been too familiar with, but at least Vampire sticks out in my head as very possible. What kind of a port are you really looking for? Rules translations, bringing 7/13 into the WoD and making it all fit together? I'm kind of with Felix in that if you were a little more specific I could see it happening.
Another world that's never really been made into a great system but I actually feel it might fit with 7/13 is the Wheel of Time, if we're just listing out possibilities.

Now Donald... if we start doing Wheel of Times... then we're opening the door for Battletech/MW systems, Wild West, GURPS and Rifts.... and of course the dreaded *gasp* Dungeon Hack.
I know I speak for myself when I say that conversions has got to be some of the most dull work imaginable... mostly because there is no specific design, it's just translating characters and equipment stats from one system to the next...
IOW: You couldn't afford me.

Not quite what you were after, but I initially based Elune on my World of Warcraft Night Elf Druid, so I am slowly working through the Night Elf and Druidic abilities, and trying to recreate them using the game system/ethromancy, so I can use them in the Cycle of Existence.
I'll post them when its done.
