Congratulations! In my view you are buying the BEST iteration of BRP!

Revolution D100 has a completely (well maybe its similar to RIngWorld - I don't have that) different skill system and narrative controls. That probably makes it the most different.

Before Iron - Pendragon Mythic Greece RPG
rsanford replied to rsanford's topic in Pendragon & Prince Valiant
Well it was as called Age of Bronze before it was called Before Iron. See comments about the game below. http://igwilliams.blogspot.com/2012/08/age-of-bronze-more-like-before-iron.html?m=1 -
Hey Chris! I just read your religion book. Great stuff! I enjoyed it! Ronnie

By the way Coronoides, I really enjoyed your review! Very well done! I particularly liked how you gave a new angle on Magic World apart from existing reviews!

Before Iron - Pendragon Mythic Greece RPG
rsanford replied to rsanford's topic in Pendragon & Prince Valiant
I am going to invite the authors to drop in. I don’t think they are on this site but I will be convincing :-)! -
We roll each round.

Does it have a lot of useful spells? Coming from D&D I haven’t been happy with the number of spells available to Magic World Gamer’s.

I “like” the way combat and magic is handled in MW but we streamline it. First we don’t require a statement of what a character is going to do up front. Second we don’t have a separate magic phase, rather magic and melee occur together based on initiative. Finally we define initiative as a character’s dex plus a d10. Otherwise it gets old when the same character always goes first.
-
When we play with standard magic as defined in the book we make the same assumptions. I just “assumed” that was what was meant an assumption I probably got from D&D.

Allegiance: how do you define light, balance, & shadow.
rsanford replied to Coronoides's topic in Magic World
My games have only provided lip service to the allegiance rules because I found them poorly thought out. However your additions are interesting and can work. I am going to run them past my crew and see if I can get buy-in to use them. Thank you! -
Before Iron - Pendragon Mythic Greece RPG
rsanford replied to rsanford's topic in Pendragon & Prince Valiant
I like Before Iron better and did not know Nocturnal was changing the name Myrmidon. I love the quote from Hesiod as it’s so appropriate! So we have two heroic Greece books coming out. Myrmidon and Mythic Greece. I will probably pick up both? -
I think your right however if they fleshed out the Southern Reaches setting it wouldn't be so generic! But in any case, Magic World isn't going anywhere.

Its well done and can be found on the big purple at https://www.rpg.net/reviews/archive/17/17905.phtml. Let's discuss! For one I would like to see a new Magic World book (Yeah I know I am out of luck) that provides a more fleshed out nautical setting, and gets rid of the various typos and layout errors. What about you?

Tertius are you the guy that wrote the new Magic World review on the big purple (Can be found here -> https://www.rpg.net/reviews/archive/17/17905.phtml) If so good job! It's nice to see Magic World getting some attention!
