The R'lyeh Report February 25, 2009 "We have other titles in the works of course, including Interplanetary for BRP, Pulp Cthulhu, Voodoo Virus, R'lyeh Rising, and Blackmoore Global Laboratories. These titles will likely release late in 2009. Rudolph please send word! There are other manuscripts being worked upon as well. I'll be happy to mention them once they are being laid out for printing."

I am not asking anybody to pay to read what I post here so who gives a flying **** which it is. But since you have established your credentials maybe you could offer your services to Chaosium.

Some proof reading would be nice, BRP adventures is particularly bad.

That’s no excuse, they are making thousands of dollars out of each of these. They are relying on the good will of loyal customers and writers who basically write for free or damn close to it. They are supposed to be a business not a fucking charity, which is the way they act.

By 1879 the war is technically still going on but there is a truce. In a sickening side bar they get that pesky thing of rascim out of the way by having the Confederate States free slaves in 1865 and along the way they try to make it seem that Emancipation Proclamation was a political stunt by stating that it only applied to states that were in rebellion. Of course they fail to say anything about the fact the Northern states had already passed laws freeing slaves by 1859.

Just had a quick read through this monograph and came across something I hope is a typo in The Sign of the Black Goat. >FEMALE CHARACTERS >If trying to remain close the restricted role of women in >Medieval times, laying a female character may prove to be >challenging. Charlie Krank really needs to have at least a quick read through these things.

Huh, login go to your account and click "my downloads".

I thought you had come up with some sort of alternative timeline. When I saw that I had a quick read through hoping I wouldn't find a reabilitated Confederacy like in Deadlands. Thankfully I didn't find it.

Just came across this in the Timeline; 1870 American Civil War ends. ????

I agree with ORtrail all game supplements should conform to the D&D/Stargate/Xena paradigm that race should not be mentioned and that all communities in the setting be made up of an even mix of White, Brown, Black and Yellow people.

I bought it anyway but I have only had chance to give it a quick scan. But it looks looks good so far.

Is the Berlin '61 pdf being sold as a Monograph for $15.95 ($11.17 this weekend) the same as the one that was on Lulu for 98 cents

There is already a rule for this on page 223. "Damage from most explosives is general, and not applied to any specific hitlocation, if that system is being used, though the gamemaster could choose to divide the damage among 1D4 hit locations, rolled randomly"

Another question, on the attack matrix why does a special attack v's a failed or fumbled parry / dodge do maximum damage?

What about the Hide skill if it is suppossed to be an oppossed roll. What spot roll are the modifiers listed in the hide roll result descriptions suppose to apply to? It looks to me that the results descriptions under the skills where created before the oppossed roll system.

So using the oppossed roll system in the main rules someone using Stealth makes and oppossed roll against a Listen roll. Any level of sucess means that a new Listen roll is made (noting that under success in the Stealth skill text it says a successful Listen check must be made and not has to have been made). On a failure the character making the Stealth roll must make a luck roll and Fumble gets the character noticed by everyone)

No still does not make sense "Critical attack versus special parry partially deflected or dodged and achieves a success. Attacker strikes defender and rolls damage normally. Defender’s armor value subtracted from damage. Parrying weapon or shield takes 2 points of damage.*" Nothing in that states that any damage is reduced it is the quality of success that is reduced. Damaged inflicted to Parrying weapons is a fixed amout and has nothing to do with the weapon used. These rules seem to come from Elric / SB 5. But the Damage rolled v's Weapon Hp'ss is only applied on Attacks and Parries with same result e.g. Successful attack v's successful Parry. This is the Elric rule. "DAMAGE FROM PARRIES Weapons and shields can also be damaged. Weapons are built to withstand hammerings, and weapons and shields normally parry without damage. However, if the rolled damage from a very strong blow exceeds a weapon's hit points by at least one hit point, the weapon then breaks. If yet more points of damage were done by the blow, these would pass on to the target. Shields behave the same way but are stronger, breaking when their hit points reach zero, not when their hit points are first exceeded. >Exception: the attack and parry matrix notes two instances when a weapon (but not a shield) loses hit points without first having itsown hit points exceeded." How would you implement the rule as written? Attack rolls critical and defernder rolls success. Attackers rolls normal damage and compares it to the defending weapon's hit points - 4. If the damage is greater the weapon is broken and the difference is applied to the target.

Did you get a look?

Finally get time to read the rules and a couple of things have me a little confused. Weapon breakage rules seemed to be mostly Stormbringer / Elric rules with some RQ 3 stiched on . The * note at the bottom of the Attack and Defense matrix does not make sense. It talks about the remainder of damage that gets past a broken weapon / shield gets applied to the attacker. But the enteries marked with * state that no damage is rolled. Is the Opposed skill text on page 173 supposed to be in the main text as it duplicates the optional rule on page174? Also it does not really gel with the results listed under skills such as stealth on page 81.

My copy just arrived at the office. Now I must resist the urge to read it instead of reading up on Photoshop scripting.

I have a feeling that is some sort of automated calender function.

What is the mechanic for opposed rolls going to be? This is soemthing that has varied quite a lot between Brp games.
