Not technically BRP related, but Cthulhu related: Anyone running De Profundis using email or forum? I would like to try the system out, but it is such a niche game I am having a hard time finding others who/to play.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions/feedback. I highly recommend doing this. I ended up using Post-it Tabs, and I am very happy with the results. I found them at my local OfficeMax -- they had 2 different packs with differing colors (blue, red, green and pink, orange, lime-green -- 686L-GBR and 686L-PGO respectively) Here they are on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Dispenser-1-Inch-Orange-22-Tabs-66-Tabs/dp/B0027603S4 http://www.amazon.com/Post--Dispenser-1-Inch-22-Tabs-66-Tabs/dp/B0027603PC

Cool, thanks! Glad to know that someone else is as anal as I am.

I have been thinking about putting index tabs on my hardback BGB because I flip through the thing all the time. Am I crazy/anal for wanting to do this? Has anyone else done this? Was it worth it?

Thanks -- I have been using Roll20 (and Google Hangouts) for the past month or so, but as a player in a real-time Pathfinder game (cringe away, it's fun) I haven't thought about using it as a persistent store for a game/maps/stuff. I tend to like the "theatre of the mind" style of play and just relegated roll20 to tasks like battle mat management for games like Pathfinder. Thanks for the tip.

Thanks -- as a note, Runeslinger is starting a series on using RQ6 and other BRP-based stuff in a fantasy setting -- please check it out and give feedback:

So, while I am preparing to run my own PbP game, I would like to get some experience playing in a d100 game. I would love to play in a Legend, RQ6, BRP Classic Fantasy, or OpenQuest game. I have only seen maybe 2 other people show interest in this on Real Roleplaying Forums - which was recommended in the forums here somewhere - and that whole forum just seems very sleepy (not to mention, so does this one.) Where does everyone hang out? I have to believe there is an active community of people playing and discussing these games via PbP. Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks to all for the assistance!

@nclarke - thanks I never thought about doing it that way @rosenmcstern - I was actually thinking about plugging the combat system for openquest into legend, so I think we are on the same page, I just wanted to be sure I wasn't being overly critical of legends combat system - thanks

Does anyone have any pointers or guidance for running a Legend Play-by-post game. It seems like the combat resolution could use some simplification in a PbP game, but I could be wrong. Thanks in advance!

Without a doubt I will be doing this! "Good artists copy, great artists steal" -- Picaso, T.S. Eliot, whoever --

@soltakss Thanks for the info/clarification/recommendation(s). I am excited to start using the system!

Thanks! Glad to be here! Pardon my ignorance, but I thought the "Runes" in RuneQuest were Gloranthan in nature, referring to the pantheon, etc. Arguably they could be seen as "generic", but I thought it was an integral part of the setting. (What I was basing my previous opinion on: Glorantha: Mastering the Runes ) Goes to show you that I have a lot to learn!

Sorry, in advance, about posting a general question about d100/RQ-like games in the RQ thread, but, I didn't see a general forum for this type of question. I picked this one because RQ is apparently the daddy of the fantasy d100's. Ok, I am a total newbie when it comes to this line of games (RQ, MRQII, Legend, OpenQuest, etc.). (With the exception of a little knowledge of the Call of Cthulhu mechanics) I am looking for a fantasy system where I can possibly build my own world and have a rules system with a relatively flat learning curve but a sense of realism. I want the "on ramp" to the system to be pretty easy to deal with because the circles I run in are more accustomed to OSR/D&D-like systems, and I don't want to scare people off. If a comparison of these games is on a FAQ somewhere, please point me in the right direction. I really have no idea what the right system would be. It seems like there are a few of these fantasy-themed d100 games and I am not sure how compatible they all are (I am assuming they are pretty close) and I don't know why you would pick one over the other. Again, I am completely new to this line of games and I have no bias in any way to any of them. I do, however, have a copy of Legend because I took advantage of $1 sale at DriveThruRPG, I have read some of it and I like it, so far. That's what brought me here, frankly -- however, it seems like it was made because Mongoose was losing the RQ license, and they wanted to still make games based on the MRQII system and keep their other MRQII products from being obsolete. I am not sure what the community adoption is like for it or what the future of the system is. It seems like people really like RQ6, but, I am not sure I want to dive into that because the Glorantha canon seems to come along with it. I have been following Crooked Staff Publishing for a bit, because I like the geomorphs that Kris does, which got me into looking at his Age of Shadow system. But it has its own default setting, which is good, but I want to start to make my own. Could someone please help me make sense of all of this or point me in the right direction to develop my own opinion, because right now, I am confused. Thanks!
