My two clacks....(Delecti's) Howling Tower sounds like a winner for a full product, either OSR or updated for new RQ4, but would likely depend on how full the infos were. The hints from the Sartar books always seemed as if it (the Howling Tower) were part of a larger campaign hinted at, (or could be made from it). Be interested to see how much there was to it and what much could be expanded on and possibly integrated with the WF 15/TOTRM 19 infos. Would love to launch a campaign with the area as a center piece. Upland Marsh Cover base.pdf

Directly to Spam. Sad really.

That's right. Elmal saw it all.

@RosenMcStern Um that's the definition of a "port" but your point on the 13th age ruleset is agreed on as tested. I just believe that it would still be a mistake as the adaption is still being tweaked for a ruleset that RQ/BRP divorced itself from awhile back. But potato, potahto. One of the surprising vehicles for targeting new players seemed to be the King of Dragon Pass software game. At least for peaking interest in a Glorantha specific setting for new players without stepping into a rule system This actually surprised me but is still an untapped avenue even with a new version of the software under development.

But as you're backing that, I can see the appeal. Concurrent playtests all around.

When you also have the port of RQ to a different system as opposed to a standing system with a ready fan base?

Hmm that would seem to be a mistake. Those rules are still untested and have no major playtesting comparable to decades of RQ2.

Awesome sauce. I'm sending in the ducks now to take out Delecti. There ain't no stopping them now!

You busy bookbinder. This should be interesting.

Dunno if you found any changes but try this discussion forum. Some RQ2 chaosium discussions and same ideas on rule changes in spots. http://gringlespawnshop.proboards.com/

The idea of a slots setup for encumbrance seems like a good idea as it takes encumbrance to a modular level that seems more useful than the RQ base version of "things" and transfers well to a character sheet. Something to think about. How fleshed out is that? Regarding fatigue. I use something similar to Frogspawner's and Thalaba's. For a house rule, I use a general fatigue chart that rolls against a Stamina stat after a turn. The Stamina stat is also house ruled but breaks down as CON+STR+DEX as a percentage (minus Encumbrance). For each turn, or failed roll against Stamina, the below chart drops one category. Two, if Stamina is fumbled. Each shift in the chart after the first (Fresh) drops combat skills by a percentage of the total combat skill used. No bonuses for crits. 0 / -10%/ -25%/ -50% /-75% Fresh/Winded/Tired/Exhausted/Incapacitated Replacing the Stamina house rule with CONx5, x4, x3 etc. also achieved the same effect.

Sooo.... Chief. How are those d100 rules going currently? Looking forward to your system debut when its ready.
