  Jorune - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jorune, or Skyrealms of Jorune, is a role-playing game set among the eponymous Skyrealms: floating "islands" of earth levitated by mysterious crystals in the crust of an alien planet.
The buildings, races, and bizarre creatures of Jorune were brought to life by the appealing, highly realistic artwork of illustrator Miles Teves.
While Jorune had many original and quite different ideas in its setting (compared to the role-playing games of its day) it was often perceived as a poor man's Tekumel due to a number of similarities.

Jorune was colonized by humans in 2138, shortly after it was discovered.
Jorune's inhabitants, both intelligent and non-, are unique and unusual, and are brought to life by the excellent pencilled illustrations by Miles Teves.
Jorune even has a Star Wars connection: if you look at Episode IV (A New Hope), in the added footage in Tatooine, there are small creatures running away from Luke's landspeeder that look and act suspiciously like beagre.

 Jorune Over the Edge Rules (JOTE)
Jorune is a great setting for gaming, but the rules have serious problems, especially the 3rd edition.
Since Jorune is an unusual setting for many gamers, it may be helpful to use the list of occupations drawn from the 3rd edition Jorune rules to provide guidelines for character types.
On the "real" Jorune, those who can weave dyshas can expend isho to unweave a dysha thrown at them, while those who have some isho but no ability to weave, interfere by vibrating their isho, hindering the effect of the attacking dysha.

 EN World - Morrus' D&D / d20 News & Reviews Site - Jorune d20
Since I don’t believe that a standard Jorune campaign is quite as high powered as the standard DandD campaign, we may want to look at a number of alternate mechanics for things like hit points, armour, etc. I believe that relatively small tweaks may have a very interesting impact in that respect.
Balance: Balancing the Races of Jorune would break the setting, but the players should feel they are a reasonable level playing field to begin with, which probaly precludes some races from being PC's (I never allowed Bronth for this reason...).
Jorune is definetly a case where I think some of the DandD sacred cows need to be dropped in favour of what suits the world.

 alternative combat system for Jorune
Some people feel that the Jorune combat system, although detailed and realistic, is too cumbersome and slow.
Some of the weapons come off slightly differently in this system: this reflects my personal prejudices (mostly from using the weapons in re-enactment fighting) and can easily be changed by those who disagree.
The tables for the various Jorune creatures are not yet available, but if people think the system is something they would want to use, I will endeavour to provide them.
