Anime based campaign?

Well I was watching Record of Lodoss War and started to make up a campaign based on the 13 OVAs or whatever-you-call-it. Then I started to watch another 26 or so episodes of a tv series. Well in short I stoped on ep 19 and desided I don't wanna know. It sucked. Anyway, how do you like the idea? Do know any anime you find suitable? I'm a great fan of the Warhammer like game. You can do anything, but think about what you are doing. Anyone?

a) There's already a ruleset for it

b) This isn't the right site to ask on

General Discussion allows for discussion of many things, few would be off topic here.

I've always found Lodoss to be a very D&D-type anime seting, so that would work fairly well.

Still, the question might be what do you hope o get out of it by making it an [i:2mr8c6dg]anime[/i:2mr8c6dg] setting? Since anime is mainly a drawing style and I'm assuming that you mean a text-base campaign I fail to completely see the point in making it anime.

Anyway, other settings that might work (thta sring to mind as I'm sure there's many more suitable) include Escaflowne, Twelve Kingdoms (a series I've quite enjoyed, but probably not that well known), maybe some based on traditional Japan (Kenshin or such).. meh, run out of ideas faster than I thought (ad I don't want to look all over the Inernet on this laptop over a dialup connection). Maybe I'll think up a few more when I get back home.

No anime with drow though as far as I know even Lodoss doesn'reall have dark elves as such; the're more grey elves).

I'd say they're brown, but men are said to be natural daltonists. Anyway I meant anything, that would giva an idea for campaign (plots and such) some ideas. Moreover it would much easier to describe anything should the DM have actually seen it (the picture for instance). Thanx anyway.

I once ran a campaign based loosly on the Anime adaptation of Berserk and well...

for those of you who know Berserk you know that the ending didn't exactly go over real well with my PCs.

As you can tell from my avatar, I loved Lodoss quite abit(that, and well the other images didn't tickle my fancy

) so I would be all for a campaign setting based on the anime.

As long as it works, it's a-ok with me!
