So I actually supported the IndieGoGo for OpenQuest 2 without knowing anything other than I love BRP systems, I know this isn't technically BRP but I did not know that at the time, and I just (this past weekend) read through the OpenQuest pdf I got and I was blown away. I really am impressed by the book especially since the guys I currently play with would not like something as heavy as BRP (appears to be).
However, one thing that I still like more about BRP is how skills advance, in fact that is one of my favorite parts about the system. I really like that your skills improve as you actually use them rather than you ding and get points. So I was hoping to incorporate that into my game. Has anyone done this? Does anyone know how I could keep the other parts of the system that also require improvement points such as learning spells, improving characteristics, or becoming a shaman?
