Guns of Icarus RPG
Lord Dick Tim:
Ok for reals, I'm writing it up as we speak on my iPad, A D10 character rpg in the GOI space.
Might be able to post the basics to tonight on a separate thread, I hope, where we can have heated debates about skills and locations, and how much I ripped off world of darkness.

I would akin it to a board game using a system similar to Fantasy Flights d10 based games.
To make it an RPG we really need skills, Both for combat (Jury-rigging, Deadeye Stop, Crazy Ivan) and non-combat (Charm/Impress, History, Research, Drinking Games). Along with alignments, lore, etc.
Saying that though. I would love to help out. 90% (10% is DnD 3.5) of my tabletop experience, both as a GM and a player, is in Palladium Megaverse RPG's. So that would be like Rifts, Palladium Fantasy, Dead Regin, etc. Most of my ideas and stuff will be based around that.

If we ask nicely we can perhaps get a nice high-res world map from MUSE to work with. IT should simplify the setup, and make it easier for GM to pick a route of travel. Also stats for Bi-planes.
Nadrynne:
Fortunately they are slowly revealing more bits of lore in some of the updates. A basic "world primer" would be great though. Some kind of document from muse with a summary of the basic bits of the world and such. Faction descriptions (which we're getting), some sort of basic timeline, famous figures (besides Gabriel), and a little about what people eat and drink and what world specific goods are famed for their quality and price. Things like that.
And a map of Sylka. Well ok maybe that is asking too much... =P
I'd stay away from alignment though. The GoI world strikes me as greyer place than the black and white good-evil/law-chaos system of D&D.
Mill Wilkinson:
Although you could discuss alignments endlessly (it ain't simple even if it looks like it), but yeah, no alignment-system as it would be quite useless in a world like GoI.
I think biplanes and the like should be a GM's option whether to stat or just make them one-hit-one kill type of setup. I'd love to see the system develop in a way that focuses more on the ship and crew-relations between battles, and that man-vs-man type of combat would be rare.
