FASERIP FLAILSNAILS Otherpool

Some peoples superhero settings would get fucked up by having a bunch of Pseudo-Medieval weirdoes wandering through it. I doubt it would make much difference to mine though. There are broken dimension gates everywhere so its not like you even need an excuse.

So here are my FASERIP-FLAILSNAILS conversion rules. Got most of it from here.

Otherpool is now a Flailsnails game.

If I ever work out how Traveller works it can be Starslugs as well. Pretty much anything can exist there for a while so you could all hang out if you wanted.

These are some numbers attached to the values below, you will need these to calculate your Health and Karma.

Your Karma is your Reason, Intuition and Psyche together.

Your Popularity is your Level x 5

Your Resources are your current wealth in GP divided by 1000. (Your credit isn’t good in Otherpool. But you can usually pawn strange items for things you need on a one-for-one basis.)

(Edited to make more sense. People in Otherpool think of the D&D worlds the same way we think of the Third World. So, middle class people will be distant and awkwardly polite, the working class will assume you are up to something, educated people will want to point out they know what a 'Liche's is, because they read about it in a specialist magazine. Everyone will assume you all somehow come from the same place, like we think of Africa as just kind-of one place. Killing a monster or murderous cyborg with a sword is possibly illegal depending on the circumstances. Killing some random thug with a sword is absolutely illegal. You are regarded as vital, martial, simplistic and uncivilised. No-one will be surprised if you do something violent, it's just how 'they' are isnt it. You may be called 'a credit to your people' or 'not like the others'.)
