Hey Newt, I did the pre-order and when I click on the link in my e-mail to get the updated version I'm getting this error: I tried then going into the downloads section of my account, but it doesn't list the rule book, only the quickstart.

I think the point is that you can't close what has already been declared open content. If you use open content from another OGL work, it is open content and should be declared as such. If you didn't use any open content from another source and you aren't opening any of your content, then there is no logical reason to use the OGL for your book.

There are actually people in the U.S. that do disguise their firearms to look like nerf guns and water guns.

MRQ2 in it's Legend incarnation is OGL, so you could also use it as your base to build your rpg.

Wow, what a rude reply.

Didn't know about the Kickstarter. Since both Chaosium and Sixtystone Press representatives are on this thread, as a potential customer I'd like to see the two of you negotiate someway to put this as a Print on Demand + PDF bundle through OBS. Contracts can be renegotiated if both parties agree to it. Obviously, I don't expect you to do so publicly, but hopefully in private you at least entertain the idea.

Okay, I'll be on the look out for a 2nd copy. I haven't received one at this time.

I received two e-mails regarding a return label for UPS to send books back to Bang Printing. I didn't request or initiate a return of either shipment (Runequest 2 Kickstarter and Classic Fantasy pre-order). Anyone else get an unsolicited return label?

One thing I was thinking when reading Classic Fantasy, is you could probably, without using Classic Fantasy, just use the basic and professional skills listed for careers as your "class" skill sets which either go up automatically, or, as Mankam mentioned, increase with a higher die roll when you spend experience rolls on those skills versus the non-class skills.

Cool.

I mentioned this on the Kickstarter page, but thought that also posting here might be a good idea. Update #29 on March 9th mentioned that Chaosium was moving from using Backerkit to OBS to distribute the PDF files for backers. I was wondering if it would be possible for Chaosium to issue OBS codes for backers to get the RQ1 and RQ2 files that were distributed via Backerkit so that we could add them to our library at OBS to have all the files in one place. Is this something that Chaosium is able/willing to do for backers?

Cool.

Thanks for posting! Any plans to have it more "advanced" like the Legend one?

It would be easy to file the serial numbers off and just do generic space fantasy name replacements in the PDF. Maybe Loz and Pete will do that in 2016.

I voted setting/adventures, but this would be cool too and definitely a purchase for me.

Thanks for the update.

Awesome to hear. I love your Legend one and was hoping you'd do a Runequest 6 one.

I prefer the old way. Maybe I'm finally becoming old where I don't like new stuff. lol

I only do face to face with dice, paper, and pencils. I'm not opposed to gaming online via Google Hangouts or Roll20, but have never actually done it.

I would say use an OGL version (Legend, Renaissance, OpenQuest, etc.) of d100. It solves licensing/copyright issues and lets you focus on your setting. You can have a chapter for rules changes/variations to make it match the setting.

Sure!

I have a d100 G+ group that includes Magic World. https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/114627856101233542605

I categorize Runequest, BRP, CoC as d100 family games because they have similar enough rules that you can mix and match them in the same/similar way you can the d20 OGL based games. The systems that use percentile dice but aren't part of the d100 family of games I would refer to them by name as you can't really mix and match Rolemaster and Star Frontiers mechanics as easily. Just like Talislanta is a game that uses a d20, but is not a "d20" game.

Honestly, I always thought this was the general d100 forum. Easiest thing to do is rename this forum d100 General and then create a new BRP (BGB and earlier) forum.
