This is excellent Gianni. May I cross post the link on the Design Mechanism forum?

Of course

There was a RQ6 panel at Bacharach, with Loz and Pete participating through a G+ hangout. Here's my transcript of the seminar: Timinits & Trolls: Design Mechanism Seminar, 27 May

Realms of Gold and Victoria make me feel that at last there will be rules to emulate the "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" in gaming!

This is a wonderfully evocative title! Reminds me of the tales of Elizabeth Báthory...

That's the idea

Of course she's remembered as a horrid, sadistic serial killer. But let us not forget that King Matthias II owed her an awful amount of money, and that she was rumoured to be a lesbian, so the whole "serial killer" affair could have been put up to get rid of one of the most powerful and independent-minded nobles in the Kingdom of Hungary.

I think a campaign game where the PCs are in her employ and do not know themselves whether she's guilty or innocent would be terrific.

T&T and BRP are two of my favorite games.

Same here. A very useful blog!

Based on late 16th century/early 17th century Central European legends and lore; still sketchy at the moment: Lamentations of the Blood Countess

OK, who's going?

I still sell this book.

Buy it if you are a true BRP fan.

Re: Shanghai-- The Celestial Empire covers China until 1911, so TCE + some good information about Shanghai in the 1920s/30s + a map of Shanghai in the 1920s/30s can be possibly enough to set a game in Shanghai in the 1920s/30s.

Already booked... for months

Looks like you're up for an entertaining sandbox setting!

There are many small "south seas"-style communities of islanders both to the west and to the east of Corflu. A copy of Men of the Sea would certainly be useful.

Probably my favourite published fantasy town in any setting.

Ditto.

Works for me.

Old school adventuring at its best. Plus it uses the original RuneQuest 2 rules, i.e., pretty much compatible with the BGB.

This is of particular interest for any Second Age based games.

IIRC it originally started out as generic / non-Gloranthan. Greg Stafford liked it so much he co-opted it for Glorantha...

Correct.

A must-have. The cult descriptions are a source of inspiration for any Allegiance-based BRP organisation.

I realise the rules wouldn't change, but to be honest I found the organisation so bad, I couldn't get through it and sold it on.

You should have used the electronic version. The "search" function of PDF reader software does miracles

It's a very short dungeon delve. Nothing special.

I think you should really pick up one of these systems (possibly one of the free ones; I'd recommend the quick-start or Renaissance, or rather both so than you can compare) and then try and start running an adventure. I think you would quickly grasp the basics of the system and then realise how easily you can tweak it to your taste.

As long as it's available in time for Bacharach I'm happy

You guys are all in the wrong time zone

I think the discussion here on boxed sets is a bit on the narrow side.

Take a look at how The One Ring has been packaged. A sleeve, complete with dice. It wouldn't be hard to put hand outs in there either. It would still sit on a shelf, and be much less compressible than an old set. <...>

Things don't have to be like the old-style boxed sets.

Personally, I like the LotFP 'boxed set', which actually is not a real boxed set, more like a sleeve with several booklets in it.

Do you REALLY think that you have to include a chapter explaining "What is a roleplaying game" to sell a game to the generation of kids who, in the unlikely event they have never seen "World of Warcraft" in action, have dozens of "Kill Things and Take Their Stuff" available for free on their CELLPHONES?

Well maybe you do wanna add a chapter about "sometimes you needn't kill your adversaries"...
