BR and SAGA System

[DosPay]

I just picked up the Dragonlance 5th Age set and am overwhelmingly
impressed by the new SAGA system. However, I love the BR setting and currently
have a young campaign going. I'm planing to adapt SAGA to BR. Does anyone have
any experience with SAGA or adapting it to non-DL campaigns? Any suggestions
about handling the conversion?
- How should I handle regency points w/o classes?
- What about mysticism in a world with gods?
Any info would be extremely appreciated. THANKS!!!

Joe:

I too have come recently to appreciation and love of the Saga role-playing system.
I hope you find what you need, and I would be interested in what you come up
with as final solutions =)

I have been enjoying the SAGA system for quite some time now - it's
excellent, isn't it? A few months back someone posted some well thought
out conversions for BR. I had saved them, but a computer malfunction
caused them to disappear. Hopefully this post will be seen by him and
he'll post them again. It included conversions for realm spells,
bloodlines, etc.

Regards.

A new edition of the campaign setting will be released in July.

I am currently working on a conversion the other way (SAGA to AD&D) and
would love to hear anyone elses ideas on this. As for regency you could
sort out a "regency" hand of fate with the number of provinces and
holdings determining the number of cards and the "stat" bonus to any
actions. Mysticism could be granted as a power like priest spells, ie.
rather than granting a particular spell, the gods grant spheres of
magic.

An idea for Realm magic would be to modify the rules for group castings
in Hero's of Sorcery.

Hope this helps somewhat, Phil.

There is this guy, Tom Harrison, who is running a greyhawk campaign
using the Saga system. He has a web page about his conversion and using the
saga system, http://web2.airmail.net/sponge2/html/Greyhawk/Greyhawk.html
