Is this from the same company that produces MournBlade or is this something different? * sorry I see this addressed in the thread!

Wish I knew. I don’t even know how to view the maintainer list. I wonder sometimes if they are intentionally avoiding the spotlight? It seems incongruous to me that someone could develop this to its current degree without talking about it on BRP Central.

These are the same three choices given in Delta Green. Does Unknown Armies do it the same way?

In my games “monsters” are not really monsters as such just another race. They may view things much, much different than your players but are not necessarily antagonist. In a 47 session campaign one of my groups played in 2018 characters traded with a snake wise woman who was invaluable to them. They also got captured by another group of snake people that didn’t have any ill will towards them they just didn’t want word going out about their colony and only the characters knew.

Wow! Nice to see the Legend rules still have life left in them!

I just realized I didn’t really answer your question. I don’t have OpenQuest but I know it doesn’t use the resistance table, does use opposed rolls and in the newest incarnation uses doubles for special successes and fumbles instead of percentages. I think OpenQuest also greatly simplifies weapons and their skills in comparison to the BGB.

Well BRP is typically defined two different ways. The first way refers to the specific rules provided in the Big Gold Book (which is a must have for any serious player). The second way refers to the whole linage of games that evolved from the original RuneQuest rules. This would include all iterations of RuneQuest, BGB, Call of Cthulhu, Mythras, OpenQuest, Delta Green, M-Space, Elfquest, Ring World and the list goes on an on.

This is clearly a mistake. I will send a note to DriveThruRPG tomorrow.

It seems like the first 30 pages or so are for D&D 2nd edition followed by a smaller number of pages dedicated to A Bird in the Hand.

@Lozyesterday I received my copy of A Bird in the Hand from DriveThruRPG and I noticed the first thirty or forty pages is devoted to Myth Drannor Adventures (Forgotten Realms). That’s not right is it?

Apparently the book Cthulhu Live: Lost Souls includes rules for maintaining a facade after a character's sanity breaks? Is anyone familiar with it that could explain the rules? I would prefer not to buy a new book just for one rule...

Thank you @hixbut I didn’t write this and don’t know who did!

John Snead’s book Enlightened Magic published by Chaosium basically takes Wicca like rituals and practices and turns them up a notch. There’s no flashy magic (so no fireballs) but making your neighbors car quit just as he is racing a train across a railroad crossing is a thing. Similarly he might “accidentally “ slip and break his neck. System reminds me of how magic is done in the movie The Craft. GREAT, GREAT book for ritual magic.

I forgot to mention Corum by (maybe) Darkside Press was released for Stormbringer and it has the notion of chaotic features which sounds like corruption. It’s a great book

I have heard that Osprey's new game Jackals has a corruption mechanic and it's BRP/OPenQuest. The hard copy is to be delivered in 6 days so I would assume the PDF is on its way.

New Horizon is a fan created space game very reminiscent of Cthulhu Rising. You can get it here -> https://darkenwings.itch.io/new-horizon

Well Chaosium has allowed a good bit so far. And by the way there is a huge beastiary available for MW on this site called The Big Damn Book of Monsters by Chris Tooley.

So when you say crits and fumbles on doubles you mean like Delta Green or something else? Does OpenQUest normally do crits and fumbles on doubles?

I am kinda wondering if Jackals can be the easy to get into, low complexity BRP fantasy that Magic World is but with a more involved setting and better production values. This might be a home run for them. I am supposed to get my copy on Feb 9, I can't wait...

Jackals' actual play...

I am looking forward to Jackals as well as well as the setting book.

I am just speaking for myself but I think Magic World's rules, for what it's trying to accomplish are already superior to 7E CoC. I wouldn't do a thing.

It's really a good scenario. I think I am going to try and run it for one of my groups! Highly recommended!

One problem with the name is that’s it’s a hard to search for it on Google. You get a million irrelevant hits.

Magic World is my favorite game and has excellent rules but the name, production values and lack of promotion doomed it.
