Title: VSF using The Men Who Would Be Kings
Post by: Froggy the Great on July 02, 2017, 09:43:04 PM

As the title implies, I have The Men Who Would Be Kings by Osprey and I'm pondering using it for VSF.  Has anyone done this and is willing to share?  In particular, I'm looking for how one might do all the delightful weird steamtech such as flyers, steamtanks, walkers, etc.

Pleeeease, someone have done this already so I don't have to reinvent the wheel.

Lad, I recently read someone talking same, either here or TMP, but don't remember who.

I'll give a troll, later.

I am not an expert in VSF of Colonial gaming, but TMWWBK is a great ruleset IMHO! The game is very scenario-driven, and I think all the VSF tropes and gadgets can be easily adapted in the rules. It's worth a try! ;)  

This fellow has a blog on using TMWWBK in a VSF setting:

Any luck with this, or the other things I pointed to of-line?

I've had an extended attack of Real Life, and still intend to get to this.

OMG, I HATE when that happens!  ;)

Pretty sure it'll wait for you.

This was from the Dragon Rampant Face Book group.  It does have rules for vehicles.  It might help.

I have two potential ideas for this - for my Space-1889 games using TMWWBK instead of 'Soldiers Companion', and a TMWWBK-Gothic idea for some TransBalkan/Graustark/Ruritania themed games with some slightly supernatural add-ons.
