@dimllychlyngarw Basically, it would be a crossover. I mean, crossovers between different genres were all the rage back in the #GURPS days, and this kind of thing would get my creative juices flowing.I know that #BRP would be the easier "fit" for tales closer to German folk tales (although some fundamental challenges remain), but I'd be curious where a worldbuilding effort involving both #Pathfinder tropes and German #folklore would take me.
