I like to see PnP behind every RPG like game I ever play. My self and a friends were happy to hear it might happen. So yes I would like to see something in the PnP realm that was all ADOM in the core.

Short for "pen and paper", I guess ;). Also called "tabletop RPG"... You know - the REAL RPG.

Yes... as long as it doesn't add to the wait for JADE!

I'm all for an ADOM RPG, or atleast a D20 suppliment. I can't even begin to think of the dozens of uses for Si in a pen and paper RPG.

well is Adom compatible with D20 ? or woth it need some work to convert ? But i would love to see ADOM RPG, even as D20 suplement, maybe it will geberate more popularity to whole ADOM thing.

ADOM is an extremely complex thing.

If i recall correctly (too lazy to check) the manual or faq has something about D20, something along the lines of:


Computers have the advantage that they can simulate any dice.

D1, D2, D3, D4, D5, D6, D7, D8, D9, D10, D11, D12, D13, D14, D15, D16, D17, D18, D19, D20, D21... D200...

Do you have all of them? (infinite list *hint*)

[Hmm, a 200D200+200 weapon would be cool ^^]

4d199 + 20000 would give very similar results, mathematically speaking.

Bah! anything worth converting can and should be made into the storytelling system World of Darkness uses. It's simple, yet robust with many open uses for the story teller. Lacking that, a d20 system conversion would be fun too.

Can anybody give me a basic outline of how exactly a basic PnP works? It sounds really interesting and something I'd like to see done with ADOM, I'm just not sure of all the details of a PnP game.

I'm no expert, but maybe you will find this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Role-playing_game) Wikipedia article helpful.

Any chance of the Creator releasing the formulas used in the game for calculating events, experience, etc? Or would that fall under the secrets he wants to keep to himself?

I have a D&D game that is somewhat similar to this game (intentionally). I don't consider it plagerism... it's more like a tribute.

Oh with all the dice rolling apps today one smartphone replaces a bag of old school dice - even the really exotic (or impossible) ones like d15, d17 etc. I'd love to see a tabletop ADOM option, and importantly one that is NOT d20 system. Please don't misunderstand me; the d20 system has some great features and I've spent many an evening enjoying games based on that system. However I love ADOMs quirky - and original - take on the established RPG genre. Vive la difference!

Yes, to make it work for pen-and-paper would need some serious rules conversion, people ain't computers after all... But it would be really neat to play!

I don't think those formulas would carry over anyway. New ones would probably be required (also leaving stuff to the DM's discretion). Some of the mechanisms - like XP degrading with increasing kill count - are useful to have tables for, but the exact mathematical formulas would probably be horrible to have to calculate by hand during a game.
