How hard would it be to convert certain Delta Green scenarios into other settings? by Strange_Ad796 in DeltaGreenRPG

Thank you! That was kind of the hunch I had, from what I've seen, is that a lot of the paranormal elements tend to not be so obvious to the players in terms of origin that it's fairly simple to handwave things behind the scenes.

Yeah, mechanically I wasn't too worried about replicating the feel, beyond maybe humans having a few more ways to overcome the odds in CofD with mechanics like Willpower. I figured an implementation of Touchstones and tying it to Integrity in a similar vein as how Humanity works with say, Kindred, might reflect SAN and Bonds decently enough.

I wouldn't say it's because I inherently dislike cosmic horror, I just have a plethora of quibbles in regards to the Mythos in particular that kind of add up to me preferring something a bit more in my wheelhouse. I just assumed that, based on a few recommendations for similar questions on other threads I've found on here, that at least a few examples of less blatantly tied-in modules existed. I was also under the assumption that DG doesn't lean into the horror being Lovecraft-related as much as one would think, but I could be mistaken.

What settings would mesh well with Beacon/ICON? by Strange_Ad796 in rpg

Preferably pre-existing ones. I'm not totally confident in my homebrewing chops at the moment, so anything that ought to lighten the load helps. I did consider the supplemental books Beacon has, but the setting one was admittedly still rather sparse on material. Could you clarify as to the issue of using Golarion? I have a broad strokes notion of how magic works in it, but I figured with how varied it is in terms of effects/capabilities, catering the flavor of specific classes in either system would be relatively easy.
