In my opinion, the best d100 Rules to Run 'Land of Ninja' would be RQ3 peppered with preferred alternate or optional rules from BRP.

Nice! How would you rate them as best production value (look and best) from best to worst?

Again, agreed. The question in the OP is how to adapt Harn convocations to BRP and I thought my answer (I would not and would just use HarnMaster), was not really helpful. Why would I use HarnMaster? Simply put, it's a good system and it is so close to BRP that it must be a cousin at worse...

That's great! Always looking to bundle up purchases. It makes a huge difference on shipping. Given its March release date, will RQM: The Lunar Way be available in Australia at around the same time?

Agreed on all accounts plus I would cast a suspicious glance over what the spell effects are, and adapt as required.

We understand. Don't say anything, just write it... (In any case, you gave me hope)

Getting close to a three months delay, any news about Alone Against the Static for the Australian warehouse?

Based on the below quote, it is a bit more than typos clean-up (emphasis mine) but not that much more. Is it more changes than previous tribal edits? I don't know. To be honest, I would not read too much in the term "revised". It can mean a lot of things.

I have not read the CoC starter set in French but I would be 99.99% confident it is a straight translation. Edge publishes CoC under a commercial agreement they have with Chaosium. I am not Chaosium so I am not privy to the detail but usually contracts like these are usually very tight on how the IP is managed and controlled.

This is it. The image slightly differs from the one on the Edge site Boîte de Base - Edge Studio France (edge-studio.net) but it is definitely the Boite de Base from 7th edition (although, as you mentioned, with the cover of the first printing). Maybe you can reach out to Edge to confirm it is the latest printing but nothing on their site indicates there was another.

Thanks! Can't wait to see the new pdf or even just the errata file.

Or French is that is easier for you https://fr.edge-studio.net/games/cthulhu-7th-farce-macabre/

I'd this because you are using too much content from MW that is not covered by BRP:UGE, which would mean rewriting in your own words? In any case, good luck and thanks!

Thanks, that's useful. I'll wait for the errata document before I decide to buy first or second printing.

Larger work? ORC related? Thanks by the way.

And it's amongst fine company! Congrats!

A Hard success is when you roll half of your skill value or below.

Thanks, this is much more in line with what I previously read regarding the genesis of Magic World. Looking at MW again, it is packing quite a lot. Full character creation, system and combat, sorcery with close to 100 spells, seafaring rules, a bestiary with almost 80 entries, just short of 50 magic items, an intro setting...

Correct. The ties are not the problem. The fact that it results in too many ties is the problem. That is why I like to introduce Hard successes from CoC. Between, normal, hard, special and critical, it makes the success levels quite narrower and repeated ties less likely. Maybe, maybe not. In a hide and seek or stealth and watch situation means the situation is unresolved. The seeker has not found you yet but they are still looking in your area. Tension rises, time passes. Iis the hider under time pressure? Is the seeker?. Will something happen to stop the search (from another player perhaps)? If not, roll again. A stealth roll is similar. The watcher did not spot the stealthee, but the later could not move. But sometimes you do want a one roll resolution. Personally, I don't find it counter-intuitive. After a tie on success level, you do have to ask yourself who roll the best. Wether the best means high or low is neither here nor there. But if it is counter-intuitive for your group, use lower roll wins. It will take the edge off the higher skill a bit but thet still have the edge. It also means that the higher skill always wins when they roll lower then the opposition. Yes, that too.

Was it? Where can we read about this?

To be honest, it was absolutely preposterous to believe that publishing an updated beloved classic BRP/d100 ruleset using a generic game and featuring a generic setting, would gain any success. Preposterous! Cheekiness aside, my point is that we now have concrete evidence the issue with Magic World has little to do with content and a lot to do with everything else from art, graphic design, layout, marketing, Chaosium lack of brand recognition at the time. Notice how all of those things have now been resolved with Chaosium and Chaosium's products? From a content perspective, Dragonbane has better ready to play content (adventures, pre-gen) over MW, but that is it. My suspicion is that RQ would benefit from a Dragonbane-like Magic World as it would more easily introduce new players to a simpler fantasy BRP ruleset and would make the jump to a more complex (rule and setting) RQ easier. But isn't it what the RQ Starter Set is for you say? Yes, but for someone thinking that RQ is "complicated", they might not consider anything with RQ on the cover.

Thanks, it makes a lot of sense. I missed the fact that the next printing would be based on the errata'ed file, and therefore, was not already sent to printers.

Is the new printing "weeks", "months" or "years" away? I am only asking because I try to bundle several books in a single order to save on shipping and I planned BRP to be in my next batch. Happy to change my plans if the new printing is on the horizon.

I like the actual plays found on the Chaosium channel. Also Seth Skorkowsky has good CoC content and reviews.

Of the lot above, i would recommend avoiding Alone against the Dark as your first solo adventure as it is a bit more involved then the others. I haven't played Alone Against the Static Yet but the rest are quite fun... if you do not mind dying too much...
