  • RPG Biography
    RPG History? Way too many to list (standing at over fifty 'systems' last time I tried to work it out), but it all started with classic RQII back in the mid-eighties. These days I'm part of a regular Monday night gaming group, with recent experience including Pendragon, RQ Classic, D&D 5e, 13th Age, Cyberpunk and L5R. I'm going to be running a Paladin grand campaign for the foreseeable future (right up to the all-but-guaranteed TPK), and after that hopefully will be doing something with RQG.

  1. Just an update here - now that I've started running GPC for a bunch of newbies I decided to make some Battlecards for the first battle (Salisbury, 480, Book of Uther). Am I allowed to upload the pdfs here? I basically randomly generated half a dozen enemies from the Book of Armies to decide who the enemies are, with a couple of battle-specific opportunities (Raise the Standard for after Aurelious dies, Lead the Charge for the following turn if that's successful), and a few more generic opportunities cribbed from the in-game cards. I'm slowly going to be doing cards for all of the units out of Book of Armies, though it may take a while.
  2. This is a very good point and one I had completely failed to allow for. Though in my defence I defaulted chargen to KAP5.2 + BoS for my players.
  3. Here's a thing I don't think has been addressed elsewhere: In Design Journal #6: Combat (27 Jan 2023), Michael writes that "...because we assume knights have trained at least a bit with every weapon, all Weapon Skills default to DEX/2..." but I'm not seeing this backed up anywhere in the rules. Have I just missed it (not really spent much time with the Solo or Campaign books yet), or was it just not included? Is it something that's going to show up in the Knight's Handbook when that comes out? (To help my poor newbies along I've included the DEX/2 rule in my house rules, but clarification would be very much appreciated here.)
  4. I've had a look through the other posts and can't see if this has been answered anywhere else, so I thought I'd start a new thread. Will there be anything like a Battlecards deck, or additional cards made available through the site? Also, is there a blank template for making our own cards? I love the ones that come with the Starter Set, but as I've just started running the GPC for a group of Pendragon newbies (starting with the Uther expansion) I suspect I may need more than the ones the Starter Set has to offer. Yes, I could make my own, but they won't be anywhere as pretty as the official ones. 🙂
  5. Thanks muchly - it is now uploaded to the downloads section. 🙂

  7. I've mostly been running Paladin and working on some ideas for Jonstown Compendium... Hopefully there shall be more news in the New Year. 😊
  8. Maybe it's Schrodinger's Crack? The effects vary with who's looking at it... 😋
  9. Okay, I'm a bit confused. It would appear there are two different versions of the Rune Spell 'Crack', one as described in the RQG rulebook, pg 324 (Non-Stackable, can't affect spirit-occupied items) and one as described in the RQG Bestiary, pg 94 (Stackable, can affect spirit-occupied items). Is the Bestiary version an upgrade that's specific to Thed worshippers only, or does the newer version supplant the older version all round?
  10. This is excellent news, especially the POD part. It would make filling out the collection easier and cheaper. 😁 Tease!
  11. I'm pretty much the same myself. Would it be nice to have a big campaign that you can sink the players into for several months a la Pendragon? Sure. It would definitely help give the players a strong taste of what the Hero Wars and Glorantha (esp. Dragon Pass) is about, and would be handy for newcomer GM's to get a feel for running a RQ game, but... As you say, it could also set up a situation where players (and potentially GMs) are trying to outshine the big names of the Hero Wars and steal the thunder (no pun intended). At the same time, I *love* the ambiguity surrounding the stories of Argrath as presented in King of Sartar, and can see myself possibly being a little disappointed by anything that attempts to offer a definitive canonical answer to the question of 'who is Argrath?' There's a part of me that would love to see something like this, but another, larger part that would want it be focused around something less established than Argrath's rise to power and subsequent deification (maybe).
  12. Wait, is there really going to be a Grand Argrath Campaign for RQG similar to the Pendragon one, or is this just rumour and speculation at this time?
  13. Hadn't heard of Noble Knight or Wayne's Books (thank you) but have already bookmarked a few items on the other two for consideration.
  14. Thanks for the feedback. It's the collecting aspect I'm working on, mainly due to nostalgia - I had quite a few of the old ToTRM issues back in the '90s, and a few Wyrm's Footnotes (plus Footprints) but they went walkabout after giving them to a friend for safekeeping, along with my original RQ2 collection. I've managed to replace most of the RQ2 stuff so now I'm moving on to the 'zines and thought I'd try and get the full set, as it were.
  15. Thanks for the replies so far. As it happens I was able to cobble one together from the rulebook PDF after a bit of messing around with various pdf print drivers. Am I allowed to post it on here or are there copyright issues in doing that?
