Amber Diceless RPG - starting new campaign, looking for players
on consideration, I've decided I don't quite have the time for this yet, it will need to wait awhile before I'm ready to run this; could a moderator delete this please? Thanks

I'LL actually run it, but with covid and some other crap and my working in healthcare... and, uh, actually having covid myself for nearly a month... things have been crazy and, on consideration, I realized I wasn't quite at a point where I could run it just yet.
Do you pay much attention to this forum? Or are you just an occasional visitor?

I am subscribed to the LFG thread, so I get an update daily. Also, I subscribed to this thread specifically, in case you ever changed your mind ;-)
Sorry to hear of your catching C19, but damn...nice to be immune now! One of the guys I work with (as a firefighter) got tested for the antibodies and he is positive, so done as well. I think I had it too, but haven't gotten checked yet.Last edited by EmptyOwl; May 27th, 2020 at 20:11.

Oh, yes, I have read them...even run Amber the game. Wasn't too keen on the diceless mechanics, seems really arbitrary to me as the GM. But I loved reading Lords of Olympus and Gossamer & Shadow. As I said, it would be interesting to play it.
I actually ran/run my own version of Amber I call Nexus. We started in HERO, then moved on to a few other gamesystems: Masterbook, Exalted, Mutants & Masterminds, Savage Worlds, maybe some others. Currently I run it in a Pathfinder bastardization mixing Masterbook-like scaling. Crazy good times!

Gossamer and Shadow is virtually identical to Amber Diceless, down to the powers, with the Zelazny trademarks filed off - although he has given his blessing to the project. If you like Amber as a mechanic, you'll be equally fine with G&S.
I do find, however, that G&S loses a fair bit in setting without Amber and the Amberites around.

You play as a scion of the Olympian pantheon rather than an Amberite/Lord of G&S. Again, it is Amber using the same diceless system with the serial numbers filed off. Very well done though, IMO.

To be fair, Amber had 10 novels and a few short stories as a backbone, whereas G&S doesn't.
However, I went and read some reviews of both, and apparently another complaint was that G&S didn't have the link of everyone being family, having a built in link between characters, but LoO apparently DID have that.
