  1. Wow... gone for a day and a ton of good replies. It sounds like RQ6 is it for now! I really appreciate the feedback. Will go ahead and get my copy in the next few days and start planning a campaign!
  2. I have fond memories of UO. I started playing within the first week and was a beta tester for the first expansion, but haven't played seriously in years. My brother also played close to launch but stopped for the Marines. When he came back he started playing again. Apparently he is so awesome he can beat every monster solo except two, and is mayor of Minoc. LOL. He won an archery tournament with a character named after one of my former RPG characters. Also a major honor. Anyway, I'd love to play in a (pre U9) Ultima campaign. I always loved the setting.
  3. So many options. It does sound like BRP+Classic Fantasy would suit me perfectly, though. Just one major question - people keep saying everything is "lighter" than R6. What does that mean, exactly?
  4. Mankcam - Why so? I've seen your posts around - very intelligent. I'm curious to know why you say that.
  5. My only thing about RQ6 - is it more like Ancient Greece, or just generic fantasy? Definitely looking for the beasties to be classic fantasy since I'll be writing my own story.
  6. Thanks Baragei & Thalaba! So far it sounds like I really can't go wrong with any of the books. As for crunch, I think my players are going to want that, so the crunchier the better, within reason. I notice the core BRP game is less expensive than, say, RQ6. That being said, I also see that there is a creatures supplement for BRP. Does that mean it is light on the creatures and I need to buy the other supplement right away?
  7. TL;DR - Which of these systems should I buy: Classic Fantasy, RQ6, Magic World, the basic BRP book, or something else? Typed a long post about this but for some reason I errored. The short of it is that I haven't played a PnP RPG in years and have some friends who want me to run something. I want to run a fantasy game with classic fantasy races, lots of spells, etc., but see there are a few options out there. I only have experience (with this system) with ElfQuest many years ago, so I have no preference except to say that I really liked the hit locations of that game but don't necessarily HAVE to have it. Love the D100 system in general. Besides which system to start with, the other question that has come to mind as I've done my research is: are all the books compatible? In other words, if I get RQ6 and want more spells, can I just buy Magic World and integrate it into my campaign? Anyway, your comments are welcome!
