Does anyone else here love Skyrealms of Jorune? I think a D20 conversion is due, even if most die-hard fans would hate it.

Beagres, Thriddle, Corastin, come on, you know you love it.

That's one of those games I've always heard about but never picked up. Isn't it, like, really old?

I have the third edition that was published in 1992.

It's a great game with truly alien aliens. Flavor wise it's got a very "80s Scifi" vibe. Star Wars, BattleStar Galactica, etc. except that all action takes place on one world, and technology is slowly being lost. There are psionics/magic called "Isho", Blasters and all that good stuff. The terminology is great and immersive, though can be a bit daunting on the first read. "That Corastin is Tauther - see the Challisk?" "Quivering trid-nodes!". That kind of thing. It's great once you get it, though.

Miles Teves did all the art, if you haven't already, check out his site:

Great stuff there. He does a lot of Hollywood monster design now.

Let me qualify the above; The aliens are as alien as predominantly humanoid aliens can be.

Okay, so they're not like Wayne Barlowe's [i]eosapien[/i] from [i]Expedition[/i], then?
