Multiplanar RPG Mashup

And yet another RPG mashup rears its head! I just picked up Sig: Manual of the Primes in hardcover, and I'm feeling like I can combine it with Lords of Gossamer and Shadow for an awesome campaign across the many planes of existence. I ran a brief text-based LoGaS campaign and I was really happy with how the game dealt with different realities and genres. Each player created their own character and the world that they came from, and then they all met up via the Grand Stair. I haven't delved very deeply into Sig yet, but I feel like I'll need to make the City of Sig be the literal center of all the planes of reality that the Grand Stair opens onto. I might need to do some work to figure out how each game's version of reality interacts with the other's, but that's the fun of the mashup process!

I missed the Spire Kickstarter campaign, but I did order prints of the two maps that were available as add-ons. I liked the premise of Spire as a setting, and I loved the previews of the maps, but I wasn't sure I wanted to add yet another system to my list of 'let's play this' RPGs. Meanwhile I was still trying to get around to reading through Cryptomancer so I could get that to the table. Now I'm feeling I can just mash them together and kill two birds with one stone. Ideas Spire is a location within the Cryptomancer setting Use of shards isn't very common within the Spire (and the Underspire) but they are used to communicate with the rest of the world The campaign is about freedom fighters up against oppressive overlords The Risk Eaters don'
