Mainly space opera (or mythic sci-fi, as I prefer to call it), but with a few tweaks it can do other styles as well. It can emulate most mainstream sci-fi like Traveller, Star Wars, Ringworld and so on, but for harder sci-fi it would need some complementary rules for starship combat. My aim has been to make starship combat as quick and fun as regular BRP/Mythras combat; realistic starship combat is probably more like present day submarines being aided by powerful AIs.
Very nice. Have you had access too, or taken inspiration from, the dogfighting rules in the short-lived RQ6 Star Wars fan conversation by Pete Nash?

I'd start with Sarinaya's Cure, re-skinned to fit whatever setting you want, then segue from there to Monster Island.

Herbalism is the "Drugs" chapter from Melnibone repurposed a bit to make it less objectionable. Arete began as the "Ki" system from Land of Ninja, but was greatly expanded by Nick. It's now a really neat system for what to do when you start getting skills up over the 100% mark.
Nice. How stand-alone is the book? I'm running a RQ6 game right now, and I wonder if Advanced Sorcery will make sense without having the Magic World core book to refer to.

After the Vampire Wars is laid out and waiting on Enlightened Magic page references. I am also laying out Enlightened Magic for now, so they should both be released at the same time or around the same time.

Adv. Sorcery is not at GenCon, but there is an ad for it!Both of these make me excited! Between Advanced Sorcery and Enlightened Magic, which will be coming out first?

How's the progress going on Advanced Sorcery? Does it look like it'll be out by GenCon?
Modern Supernatural RPG for Mythras?

I'm excited to hear this! I'm a fan of Snead's work but never managed to get my hands on the Chaosium version.
Hopefully Enlightened Magic can be converted as well, or even incorporated into the Vampire Wars book. Both are fairly slim volumes, IIRC. Mythras doesn't need another magic system, but a low-key ritual magic system would be a welcome complement to the quick and powerful magic of the core book.
