What is Armonia?

Hello everyone, this is BenTheHun1!
I wanted to take a minute to talk a bit more about Armonia. I've been developing it for a while, and it's gone through many radical revisions. However, a few things have remained constant throughout the play testing and revision process.
  1. A modular system of Magic that promotes experimentation and creativity. I remember one of my plasterers once became  a Voltorb, and blew himself up repeatedly.
  2. A unique setting. Many of the "races" have been seen before in places lke D&D and Tolkien. However, I've been able to put my own spin on it. Humans are not simly Humans, but Zana—a race of conquerors originally from the planet Earth. Now, their ancestors are on Armonia, a.k.a. our moon.
  3. Compartmentalized portions. My idea was someone could take the mechanics of the game and bring it into the D&D Multiverse, or the World of Darkness, or any other setting. Alternatively, they could take the Setting and adapt it relatively painlessly to D&D, Pathfinder, Shadowrun, Vampire, or any other rule-set.
I will continue to develop and play-test Armonia. I hope to release it eventually. For now, Basics contains the essence of the game. I may update basics at some point, but it is not a top priority.

What is Zerron?

Zerron is a concept for a game I've had in the back of my mind since I was about 6. It would've been the ultimate crossover, with a original, central location, and the protagonist(s) would travel to other worlds based on popular books, movies, and video games. So, there would be a Harry Potter world, a Sonic The Hedgehog world, a Zelda world, etc. etc. Now that I am (relatively) older, I have the skills and drive to do that. I could never sell it (for obvious reasons) but is a fun passion project nonetheless (I need more of those...).

Armonia II/0

So, I've started working on a sequel/prequel game to Armonia, subtitled II/0 (Two-Zero). Why am remaking Armonia? - I tried to make Skills more interesting and ‘strategic’ but instead it became over complicated and requiring way too many dice. - The magic system essentially is still picking spells from a list, not what I intended. - The system is very WIDE (with tons of races!) but not very DEEP. - Character Creation takes 2+ hours, and gameplay is slow, and too mechanically focused. The new design philosophy for now: Keep it simple and open!
