Loved Aces High, so I'm really looking forward to this one!

This supplement is a companion book for the Aces High setting. Incident at Alice is split into two sections; the first section is concerned with historical, geographical and societal issues that will allow the Master to explore some of the land of New Mexico during the appropriate period. The second section is a scenario which will allow the players to interact with some of the people and creatures that live here.

In the scenario the characters will be involved in a bank raid and will chase an Apache outlaw across rugged terrain. Along the way they will begin to learn of the supernatural entities called the Kachina, sacred, mythical spirits of the Pueblo dwellers religion. The Puebloans themselves have a long and, at times, dark history. Some of which waits to be discovered in one of their forgotten, holy sites. The characters may begin to understand that not all Native Americans are the same. Being able to tell the difference between the thoughtful, artistic Puebloans and the warlike, aggressive Apache will give the characters some insight into the many divergent philosophies that are endemic of the native populations. In the end, learning this difference may be the weapon that allows the characters to succeed or fail in their quest.

Within the book you will find:

• character generation rules

• a comprehensive skill list and combat chapter

Supplement for this setting: Campaign Guide

A complete and easy to play Fantasy Roleplaying game, with monsters, magic and exotic locales. OpenQuest uses the classic D100 rules mechanic, which uses percentages to express the chance of success or failure.Open Quest is based on the Mongoose RuneQuest SRD (MRQ SRD), with ideas from previous editions of Chaosium’s RuneQuest and Stormbringer 5th, mixed in with some common sense house rulings from the author’s twenty years of experience with the D100 system. Final Edition.

Character Generation:

• Points buy by default, both for skills and characteristics (although there are optional rules for Random Characteristic generation)

• Players come up with a concept for their character and build it the way they want.

• Default rules produce jack of all trades characters, which are capable in combat, magic and practical skills.

• Optional specialist character rules to produce characters who are more warrior or magician in concept.

Character Improvement:

• Characters gain improvement points for completing goals and entertaining play.

• Players may then spend as they see fit on automatic skills and magic advancement.

Skills:

• Many skills are more groups of broad skills. For example Sleight, Hide and Stealth are all grouped together as Deception. This results in a streamlined and much shortened skill list.

• Gone is the ‘golf bag’ of weapons skills, replaced by Close Combat, Ranged Combat and Unarmed.

• Modifiers only added when they bring a big impact into play. Either plus or minus 25% or 50%. No more fiddly adding or subtracting of a +5% or -10% here and there.

• Clear guidelines of when to call for a skill test and when not to.

Combat:

• Combat rounds are 5 sections of time, were combatants act in DEX order (INT if casting spells)

• New combat manoeuvres available for all to speed up combat and make it more exciting

• Characters with combat skills over 100% may split their attacks and defences to take on mulitple opponents.

• No Hit Locations (although easy enough to add back in).

• Damage taken directly off a Hit Points total, based on SIZ + CON divided by two.

• Major Wounds (as seen in Stormbringer) an optional system.

Magic:

• Three approaches to magic: Battle, Divine and Magic.

• All characters have some Battle Magic as default.

• Summoning and Enchantment built into each approaches.

• Specialists : Shamans, Priests, Holy Warriors , Adepts and Magus.

• Sorcery now completely based upon one ‘Sorcery Casting’ Skill. This is the chance to cast a spell and limits the amount that the spell’s range, magnitude and duration can be manipulated.

Creatures:

• Twenty five monsters detailed.

• Along with common domestic and giant animals.

The Empire of Gatan:

• A straightforward fantasy setting, with enough detail to pick up and play but enough room for Games masters to make it their own.

The Road Less Travelled:

• This is an introductory scenario suitable for beginning players and Games Masters

• It is designed to give a general introduction to most of the rules systems

This scenario/sourcebook features two open and non-linear adventures and information about the city-state of Miraz and the setting of the Shattered Lands. It is an epic self-contained mini-campaign that is designed to be picked up and played, or be a mine of ideas for a Gamesmaster looking to adapt it to his/her own campaign.

Miraz the Golden sees itself as inheritor of the old Lion Empire. It is an oppressive military police state which seeks to dominate its neighbours. Some say the wrath of the gods has been brought down because of its hubris and it is currently stricken by a plague. Its Tyrant looks on from his remote palace, as the victims of the plague shuffle round the streets as newly-risen zombies. While his heirs fight amongst themselves to see who will succeed their father, once he is toppled by the rebellion that is fermenting in the streets.Into this madness step the beginning adventurers, out to make a fortune and a name for themselves.

A Travellers Guide to the Shattered Lands: A brief overview of the setting with Cults and example character concepts. Enough for a GM to use the setting without clipping the wings of inspiration.

Dead Pot Country: Enter the ancient ruins of the River Valley Civilization in search of a missing Merchant.

Life and Death: Journey to the tyrannical city of Miraz and stop the plague of Undeath that afflicts it.

Six Pregenerated characters: So you can pick up and play.

“One day this city will have to choose between Life and Death”

As you might have seen, the site is in the process of getting a makeover, as its being worked on to include the entire BRP family, and not just the Basic Roleplaying flagship. As always, change can be both good and bad, but hopefully we'll end up with an improvement in the end. Most of the work will probably be done in week 39. The plans include a mobile style with an app for android and iphone.

If you have any requests of stuff you would like to see, please post them.

Cheers,

Sverre.

Ah. That would make a unified BRP/RQ wiki tricky, as MRQWiki is MediaWiki so everything would have to be re-markuped.

Yup, and the doku-wiki software isn't really any good. I would love to see something with a bridge to the forum software, but so far that does not exist.

Any idea of the quality of the "The Spirit of the White Wyvern" game?

Heard the blast at work several kilometers away, but everything is fine with me and mine, the posse too. Feels totally unreal to experience a terrorist attack of that scale here in Norway.

Only good thing is that it seems to have been carried out by only one evil right-wing nut and not a terrorist organization, so the national paranoia level has not gone up that much. Thank you for your concern compassion.

Sverre.

The content at least WILL be back. Currently it's just the tab that's gone.

Operation Ulysses takes place within the Gammadon fields, scene of an apocalyptic space war fought millennia ago by two extinct species. The shattered remains of their colossal starcraft still drift aimlessly and their ancient atomic mines even now patrol the space lanes, seeking to destroy any ship traversing the system.

Midway through its journey across the Gammadon fields, near the planet of Ion 9, the ISIS corp. star freighter Ulysses was inexplicably wrenched out of hyperspace by an unknown form of energy. The Ulysses was hauling a huge consignment of litherium ore from IMF67 (ISIS Mining Facility 67) to ISIS corp.’s industrial centers on the planet Auris. Shortly after its initial distress call, all communication between ISIS Corp. and the Ulysses was lost.

In this heroic level science fiction campaign, the adventures have been contacted by the mega-corporation ISIS corp. (Interstellar Industrial Supply), the largest litherium mining and manufacturing company in the Hadrion Galaxy, to investigate the recent disappearance of the Ulysses, one of their Titan-class starfreighters.

They'll be back by tomorrow. Working a bit with the software at the moment. Leads to some glitches in the matrix.

Looks very promising!

Hello, I'm new to BRP and the forum but I'm in the process of converting a savage worlds Dark Sun campaign to BRP because I like the system so much.

One of my players have almost finished his conversion of the setting to d100, which he soons plan to game. I'll try to get him to make his notes available here when it's finished.

See you there AikiGhost!

After reading a bit in the new HQ Sartar book, I must say I am very impressed. I do not like the system at all, but before the scenarios were useless too, these ones I can convert. I think my next campaign will be a drooles Kingdom of Sartar campaign. :-D

It opened up in Open office but showed 5 pages with headers, 3 of which were blank and two had skills and stats in. Was that what the file contained?

It contains a docx character sheet. Sounds like OpenOffice has a hard time with it though.

Er, actually, no. But if Paolo authorises it, we could make available on Alephtar Games' web-site the bits that have been left out of the published version of the game. Or in a forthcoming issue of Uncounted Worlds.

Okay, edited the description. (Maybe you should tell Chaosium and Cubicle 7 too if you haven't allready.) Some free leftovers would be great!
