Just an fyi, the rules for sailing in Sailing on the Seas of Fate are also found in Magic World.Sailing on the Seas of Fate comes to mind.

Excuse the dumb question as I have not used Roll20 (We use Mumble for Internet based games). Would this be a play by post game or a live game over the Internet?Roll20 seems a logical place to post.
I prefer a live game. PLay by post has it's own set of plusses, but it also has some fairly annoying restrictions, too.Excuse the dumb question as I have not used Roll20 (We use Mumble for Internet based games). Would this be a play by post game or a live game over the Internet?
Me too. Actually I hav never played by post though many seem to enjoy it. Seems like typing all the descriptive text would be painful.I prefer a live game. PLay by post has it's own set of plusses, but it also has some fairly annoying restrictions, too.
I've got a background in such bands as Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Dio, Helloween, Diamond Head, Thin Lizzy, Led Zeppelin and of course, Hawkwind. Not to mention those late 80s low level Euro-thrash bands. Sabbath, Bolt Thrower, Kreator and the ilk. But that idea about the pagan folk bands is great. I'm gonna have to check out some of them.I know I'm late to this thread, but just putting it out there that running an old school meaty classic fantasy game with 'medeival' Heavy Metal music is very, very cool.
In addition to Iron Maiden, you could add in a bit of other like-minded metal bands like Manowar, Majesty, Dragonhammer, Saxon, etc. You could perhaps counterpoint this by mixing in some pagan folk bands llike Wardunna, Fawn, The Moon & The Night Spirit, etc. Two very different musical styles, yet thematically closely linked. Full of grunt, power, mysticism, blood, and danger. Amazing what moods you can evoke by blending things in a playlist these days.
Using the Iron Maiden songs as scenario themes/plots is also very novel, what a great idea, that’s so Sword and Sorcery.
I also think the decision to run this with Stormbringer is spot on. I would probably choose Magic World as it is practically the same build of BRP, except with very quick char gen and no Young Kingdoms setting. An old copy of Stormbringer will work just as well at the gaming table, plus the cover art rocks.
Should feel like Goodman Games 'Dungeon Crawl Classics', but with better mechanics. I am envisioning this to be the stuff of Frazetta artwork, with an excellent soundtrack.
Not looking at being involved, but just saying the concept is very cool
