They are found in different Milieus, with an overlap. Scimitars are found in Medieval, Renaissance, Enlightenment. Sabres from Enlightenment to Industrial. Sabres are very modern weapons. But if you want to put a Westinghouse Variable Cartridge Blaster in a medieval game, go ahead if that's what your games are like, you do you.

Blind Opponent is a critical-only defensive special effect.

Out of interest what is your preferred edition of Champions?

The two systems definitely appeal to a similar type of player. What I have noticed is the GURPS people tend to think "what's the point?" when they are looking at Mythras, and while Mythras players might have an interest in the GURPS supplements the system is not appealing at all. Whenever a call for more realism comes the "Mythras should be GURPS" poster comes to mind ... because that's a siren call coming from the GURPS side of the brain. Sorry for messing with your thread! Your takes on these supers characters are very entertaining by the way.

I have long thought it was simply a mistake which was missed.

We have a M-Space channel on the Mythras server, and a good deal of interest in M-Space itself. There is also a LFG channel for game recruitment. This is a permanent invite to the Mythras discord: https://discord.gg/mythras-469341944888164352

None of it is "hard to adapt" or "challenging", I was responding to the notion that it would "work easily with RQG" - and my answer is no - not "easily". with some work re-jigging the system? Yes. But personally, I would rather just use Mythras as the system and use the Gloranthan setting. I have no wish to go back to running RQ2/RQG ... because if I did want to do that ... why bother with Mythras in the first place!? That said, these things come to mind: 1. Skills - I suppose "spirit combat skill" can substitute for Binding, but it is not quite the same, since Binding is used for negotiation and commanding spirits, as well as combat. Trance doesn't have a direct equivalent. There is also Willpower which you would either bring over into RQG or drop. There's no resistance table in Mythras, it's all skills Vs skills with occasional limits imposed by characteristics. 2. Combat/Negotiation - Spirit Combat uses special effects which you could use, it means adopting that way of running a "combat" (which can also mean negotiation) but it does also raise the question of then why not use the Mythras combat system itself as well? Spirit Combat "damage" is quite different, I'm not sure which way you would go with that. Most of the SEs could be used. There's no model for Tenacity in RQG, which I prefer so that spirit combat is kept separate from magic points, but that's an option. 3. Spirit Abilities are the building blocks of spirits in Mythras - many of which transfer ok, but many of which don't. The Bless/Curses would need re-making as about half of them don't mean anything in RQG. 4. Spirit types - I'm not sure what you do with the RQG spirits - do you convert them? bin them? make your own using the spirit bestiary as a thematic guide? Most Mythras spirits use abilities, not spells, but RQG spirits rely on spells almost entirely. There's a whole chapter in the bestiary so again I don't know which way I would go, either way you have to re-work the spirits. Broadly true, then when you get to the specifics, there are some big differences.

I did it the other way around, that is, put the Gloranthan bits into RQ6. Done like that, it is incredibly simple, largely because RQ6/Mythras "runs" Glorantha pretty easily. There are also resources like Notes from Pavis, which assume that you are running RQ6/Mythras with Glorantha by default. Putting RQ6 Animism into RQG depends on how much and which of the mechanics you want to transfer. Spirit Abilities, animist skills, and some other skills, spirit combat all work differently from RQG and may be a pain to retro-backfit into RQG from Mythras. So, it's possible but not easy depending on how much of it you are interested in using.

I don't think you have a choice. If there's interest from your players in M-Space and you want to try something new then it seems like a no-brainer to me .... run it! I don't get the relevance of other people's preferences. If it works for you and your group, great, if you you all hate it, great, there are a million other rpgs to try out. Outside of concrete game design principles like "I only play rpgs with classes and levels" or "I hate narrative dice" there is not a lot other people can meaningfully say about choices between rpgs, it's very much by feeling and tastes of the players. I am not sure Traveller's vast quantity of material is necessarily an asset if that material is not of interest to the group. Mothership has practically nothing but people want to play it because it evokes the mood they are interested it (SF horror?). When I look at Traveller's stuff I feel about the same as I do looking at Harn - I'm sure there's a lot there, and it's a lot of "stuff" that I have no interest in.
