I'm with the "Vampire is an undead condition" school, so you can have vampire elves, vampire trolls, vampire humans and so on. RQ/Glorantha said anything that had the man rune could be a vampire, so I'd just say that anything that was once alive could become a vampire. Having said that, there is no reason at all why you couldn't then have a vampire that has offspring. Look at Blade, Twilight or The Originals for some examples. Just have the parent vampire being affected by some powerful fertility magic and a partner who is into cold and clammy.

So, the proofreading omission was entirely valid, then. Next time get it right! Just checked to see that there are no errors in this post.

One thing that is important regarding OGL is that it means that games need not die. If Mongoose suddenly stopped producing Legend, for example, then I could quite legitimately produce a copy of the Legend rulebook and core supplements under the OGL - It even says that I can in the Legend rulebook. Then, I could produce a series of supplements based on the Legend OGL without any legal problems. For me, this is a very good thing, as it means that we don't get stuck in the limboland that was RQ/BRP in the late Eighties and Nineties, where people could not produce supplements for fear of being sued or issued with a "cease and desist" order. At least, that is how I see it in my own naive little world.

I can't see a Wiki page there, just the BRP Wikipedia entry.

Well, http://www.soltakss.com/alternateearthrq/AESupplements.html shows the current Alternare Earth supplements available for BRP/RQ/Legend/OQ/Reneaissance. Extending something like that to cover all available supplements should be fairly easy, but it might be difficult to maintain.

Congratulations! Stupor Mundi offers an interesting look at southern Italy in the 13th Century and is full of good ideas.

All intelligent creatures in Legend can have professions and can be generated at a non-basic level.

Why would Chaosium want to produce a slimmed-down, cheaper competitor to BRP? I can understand a Future World, in the same way as Magic World worked, b ut not a Worlds of Wonder equivalent.

Magic World used RQ2-style percentages, which went up in units of 5. So, 05-50 has a critical on 01 and 55-100 has a critical of 02. Percentages in the full 01-100 range didn't come in until RQ3.

I have most things available as PDFs, so I can just refer to them when required. When I put things together, I use PDFTK to split/merge PDFs. If the PDF is locked down so that PDFTK won't work with it, then I extract the text into a file and use that instead. It's not always pretty, so sometimes I tidy it up into Word, print it as a PDF and then use PDFTK to build up a single PDf of the information I want.

Saves you having to commit seppuku, then.

This would suit RQ's upcoming Classic Fantasy supplement. I'd put them together, if you have enough space for them all.

I refer you to the point made earlier ... So, just how sick are you?

There's Goliath, a trained warrior, nurtured from birth, one of the noble elite, with a king's ransom's worth of armour on his back, armed with a spear and shield. A Rune Lord of his cult, Battle Champion, probably spelled up to his teeth. Then this little pipsqueak comes along and challenges him. First round, critical to the head with a sling shot - 1D8+1D2 damage, maximum rolled, so 10 direct and Goliath falls dead to the ground. No Hero Points/Fate Points to spend. One thing is true, it wouldn't have happened that way with D&D! You need a game like RQ/BRP to do this.

Well, they've released Magic World ... Sorry, couldn't resist it.

If broo meet something then generally then will infect it, screw it, kill it or eat it. In your situation, the spring virgin is out of bounds for all those, except maybe infecting her. So, what's an up and coming broo to do? Take his frustration out on other people. Either people they meet, livestock they come across or each other. Failing that, what is the penalty for deliberately failing the mission? Bad for the clan? Broo don't normally care. Their turn in the barrel? Depends on how graphic the game is. Public Castration? A definite option. Ripped apart by other broo? Another favourite. If the broo don't have an idea of what will happen to them if they don't complete the mission, then they probably won't complete the mission. As for broo being comic relief, they are in a way. Bear with me here. On the one hand, they are vicious, infectious rapists, who can turn a game around into a very dark place simply by being involved in the scenario. On the other hand, they can be dangerous threats who are always thwarted at the last minute. Just, don't, don't, don't have the spring maiden as a PC.

It's probably better asking on the Mongoose Legend forum http://forum.mongoosepublishing.com/viewforum.php?f=79 - Matthew does check here, but I think he checks over there more often.

Logic has never played a great part in the design of Dr Who opponents.

Except that your interpretation is of a different world entirely!

I'm not sure if that was the case. I saw it as being Alternate Earth with a liberal dose of not caring where the PCs came from. In fact, someone in Byzantium could well have met Picts and Near-Eastern Sorcerers, as this was a massive melting pot with links to almost everywhere in the western world. The supplements were very set to a specific place/culture (Vikings, Land of Ninja) and did not have the same mix of NPCs.

I get a product not Found message for each of them - must be because they are not due until 01/04/2014.

I bet that was a fun read!

It would make sense for everything to be handled the same way, at least when building the starship. One thing guaranteed to irritate me is a single generation system that needs several different methods of generating each individual thing.

Physics and Super Heroes don't mix.

Hawkmoon is SciFi, in that it is set in the far future and has high technology. No space-faring in that, though. Legends at the End of the Universe is also SciFi, as it is set in the very far future and has ultra-high-technology. However, the SciFi elements are pretty much magical in all but name. A lot of Moorcock's works have time travel of various kinds. They would, in theory, be regarded as SciFi, I suppose. However, Moorcock is well and truly a Fantasy writer.
