[Honorverse] Is there an RPG?

Matt.C · #1 04-08-2006, 06:45 AM

Hey... I just got hooked on the Honorverse (after a good Danish friend coerced me into reading the first novel... *g*), and immediately this question sprang to my mind: Is there any sort of Honoverse RPG? Either official or fan-made?

The world sounds really, really nifty and I suppose that my copy of GURPS Space could handle it really well, but... I'm hoping that somewhere out there someone already did the work of translating the Impeller and the Warshawski Sails and the Grasers and Laser-Head Missiles into some usable stat-language.

And, as a related question: Is there any info on the 'verse besides the novels? Something like artbooks or encyclopedias or so?

Many thanks in advance...

An official setting book for T20 (d20 Traveller) is currently being developed : http://www.travellerrpg.com/Honor/

There's also a board/miniatures game by AdAstra

That was... Fast! O_O

Thanks!

Any word on the date of release?

(Damn. d20. *sighs* Well, one has to bite the bullet one day, eh?

Just remember you may have to house rule kryptonite into the setting so that anyone who actually wants to play Harrington's character doesn't completely outshine everyone else in the game!

Cybernetic, super-genetically modified descended nonsense.

Signed - a former fan of HH who thought the character was much more interesting before her parents exposed her to gamma radiation and the bite of a radioactive spider.

I don't care much for Honor herself in an RPG sense, but for the universe and the tech. I would really like to mix a band of Manticoran and Silesian mercs to kick some Havenite ass... *g*

Victor Cachat will kill them all with attitude to spare. He is the ultimate badass. Check out Changer of Worlds and From the Highlands to see what I mean.

See more of Victor in Crown of Slaves. Victor is Eric Flint's creation, with all of Eric's penchant for larger-than-life characters.

Victor Cachat is like Chuck Norris.

I wouldn't hold my breath for an Honorverse game from QLI if I were you. Nobody has heard from its owner since early December and the company hasn't published anything in months.

Another company recently announced they has aquired the rights to do a non d20 Honorverse RPG but I don't remember the name of the company nor do I know how far along they are in developing it.
