I intend to start an Imperial Age campaign, rules using True20 from Green Ronin Games. It's going to take awhile, 'cause I gottas immerse myself in the rules. Look for it though...

    Wow! What a system! True 20 allows 6 points spread between six abilities, strength, intelligence, wisdom, dexterity, constitution and charisma. Any minuses taken in an ability can be applied as pluses in other abilities. I'm thinking an occult campaign with nasty non-human races possible taking place in the British countryside.

    This info is taken from the Imperial Age addendum to the True 20 rules:

    Possible occupations: Lower Class - agrarian worker, artist, beggar, burglar, circus performer, confidence artist, costermonger drifter, driver, emergency worker, factory worker, governess, guide , hunter, laborer, performance artist, pickpocket, police officer, prostitute, pugilist, robber, sailor, scavenger, servant, shopkeeper, soldier; Middle Class - academician, alienist, artisan, chemist, clerk, clergy, detective, dilettante, engineer, gambler, journalist, legal practitioner, medical practitioner, military officer, scientist, socialite; Upper Class - athlete, bishop, demimonde, diplomat, industrialist, rake.

    Social Class: lower class, [country folk], middle class [gentry], upper class [peer]

    Drawbacks: albinism, bad luck, bad shot, bleeder, butterfingers, clumsy, cowardice, deaf, easily read, frail, hard bargainer, hard of hearing, impatient, illiteracy, intolerance, lame, missing arm, missing hand, missing leg, mute, oblivious, scandalized, slow healer, slow reflexes, slow to act, social stigma, spineless, unappealing, unthreatening, weak fortitude, weasel.

    Skills: bluff, diplomacy, gamble, gather information, knowledge, language, research, sleight of hand.

    Feats: artisan (expert), authority (expert), benefit (general), bewitching (expert), craftsman's eye (expert), deadly aim (expert or warrior), gifted skill (expert), high born (prerequisite, 1st level), maste haggler (general), merchant's eye (general), nondescript (general), organized (genera;), scrounger (general), stylish (general).

    True 20 and The Imperial Age is available from Green Ronin Games. Let me know if I've left anything out. It's still going to take an age to develop this campaign.

    Action will take place in Gosforth on the west coast across from the Isle of Man. I've been thinking of possible NPCs for the village, but I'll post the Trues 20 info and start chargen before naming residents.

    Distribute your attribute points, choose your occupation, one or, at most two drawbacks, determine your role then spend points for skills and choose your feats. Name, age, physical characteristics, mode of dress etc., etc.

    I'm not the most technical of guys... To have your campaign added to this list, here’s what you need to do: make sure that in your campaign settings you have entered in the location info for where your campaign meets, that you’ve selected the “Publish” box, and that you’ve selected the “Looking for Players” box. Don’t worry, no personal info (e.g. emails or passwords) will be shared, just campaign data. Second, if your campaign is an online or PbP game, you can always add your campaign to Kenurion’s Compendium of PbP and Online Campaigns.

    I've added the "location" as online, but I've found no place to select "publish" or "looking for players." I also don't know how to add my game to Kenurion's list.
