I will buy this. Please tell me when it is ready ;-)

Do you mean Robin Laws Heroquest II, or is it a different HeroQuest you're talking about for supers.

Since players have to know 1/5 and 1/2 of their stat scores, is there a character sheet that has spaces for that? Thanks

There's a download for a section on character creation for Middle Earth characters using a basic roleplaying-type system. Does anyone know what product that comes from?

I just bought RQ6 after getting Luther Arkwright. It's a pretty terrific system.

Where can we get some sweet Mythras products?

Brief review.

Buy this.

End of Brief review

Seriously, this is terrific. Even if you don't like the detailed setting, it includes more than enough stuff (along with Enlightened Magic) to run any sort of Urban Fantasy.

I just bought it and will tell you all about it after I get it.

It doesn't seem like any of the Stormbringer iterations are still in print (no where to get PDFs). Tell me I'm wrong and give me a link!

Yea, but we're in a weird situation right now, right. There's no PDF you can purchase, and someone said that the paper copies they have are a handful left over from GenCon... Sort of odd.

How much longer must we wait for the PDF!!! ;-)

Just curious.

In D&D variants, you get rough character balance because of how classes are designed. In a pure point-buy system, like vanilla BRP or GURPS or Savage Worlds, you get a balance based on the points. If you just hack in "stuff," how do you make sure that the guy with access to magic from that Magic system you've chosen to use isn't vastly overpowered compared to the other characters?

For those of you that use an earlier version of RuneQuest, why?

Just curious, for those of you that hack your own system, what do you use for the base rules?

I really want a PDF also

laurence can you send me a link. I'm an idiot and can't find it ;-)

it looks like the only way to get the paper book is at http://www.thedesignmechanism.com/products.php, but it's out of stock :-(

When I go to the site and click on things I get links to French Runequest and such. Help! ;-)

Sorry COC 6.

No. It hacks the Feel of ORE Godlike into CoC 7 (you can build Talented people in CoC 7 rules) or Savage Worlds. You play low-powered gritty superheroes in WW 2 vs Cthulhu type things, Nazis, and others with talents.

Thanks. I plan to get BGB PRP

Yes, it's Godlike rules + CoC, mostly Godlike, since it assumes that you're hacking Godlike into your CoC rules (it also has Savage Worlds rules) and not vice versa. So it has all of the stuff for creating the sorts of Talents from Godlike

Systems like HERO have a system have a mechanism for subdual damage, where characters can take a bunch of bashing damage before taking actual physical damage. Is there a D100 variant that has something like that?

I think it's very nice. The powers system includes rules for how to make super attributes and gadgets. Instead of having a list of powers you explain what you want and it has a point cost - they show you how to build stuff like Invisibility. I'm on the fence about this it seams a bit hand wavy

It's very good, but the only thing that surprised me is that it doesn't have a list of powers, more of a "build a power" system.
