GDi ConcludedSep 16, 2014 | 11:26 am
With the release of HardNova 2 Revised & Expanded, that closes out the genreDiversion i line of products. GDi has served us well, but future genreDiversion releases will use the GD3E rules. You can start now, if desired, using the newer rules with the older games, since the genreDiversion 3E Manual includes quick conversion guidelines. Here's a recap:



1. Abilities remain the same.

2. Pursuit ratings are as follows: skill ratings of 1-3 is a proficiency, 4-6 is a specialty, and 7-8 is a mastery.

3. Gimmicks remain the same, although difficulty values may need conversion (see step 4).

4. Difficulties are simply 10 higher (add 10 to each difficulty value).

5. Health remains the same.

6. Damage and Protection remain the same.

7. Vehicle Abilities are slightly different: convert shields to the shielding gimmick directly; frame remains the same; tech should be assigned a rating using best judgment; speed and handling ratings of -5 to -4 is 0, -3 to -2 is 1, -1 to 0 is 2, +1 to +2 is 3, +3 to +4 is 4, and +5 is 5 (the book actually has this wrong; use these values); integrity remains the same.

I've run Miami Nights with GD3E awhile back, and it is a very easy conversion I just did 90% on the fly. I only used the GD3 character generator beta to work up a few of the main villains.

Yeah, it is pretty easy.

Directions for GD3E to GDi conversion might also be useful.
Brett Commented:Sep 17, 2014 | 7:30 am
Well, for the other way:



2. Skills are: proficiency is 2, specialty is 5, and mastery is 8

4. Subtract 10 from difficulty

7. Vehicle Abilities: convert shielding gimmick to the shields directly; frame remains the same; speed and handling ratings of 0 is -5, 1 is -3, 2 is 0, 3 is +2, 4 is +3, and 5 is +5

I am actually somewhat glad to hear this as I have been hoping for some new GD3 'stuff' for quite a while now (I know it's easy as pie to use GDi info, but I'd prefer some pure GD3 things). Do you have and tidbits to throw out as to what exactly you will be working on for GD3 in the next year or 2?

Subject to change, but...



The Colonies 2.0

Bloodshadows 2E

Ancient Odysseys Advanced (no title yet)

Thanks for the quick reply.



The Colonies sounds great. I would love to see something a bit more expansive then the Eaba version which is the only version I have.



Bloodshadows I never played, but it could be interesting.



Looking forward to seeing what you do.
