Bucklers never had 15 AP in RQ3. They had 8. The major diffence in our games was that weapons took damage from parrying, shields didn't. Weapon are designed to deal damage, shields to take/defect it.

1 guy, plenty of chicks.

I feel that there is a difference between stats and skills in this respect. Great! play a vet who is older and wiser Ive nothing against it, but it's still a pay off, at least in my eyes. but that is very different from maxi stats which have no draw back. Anyway most of my favorite RP experiences have been when I'm low level, the rest tend to be just penis size bragging and that includes most all the role-players I've met.

Actually I thought the whole point of RQ and BRP was that you were playing an ordinary guy who becomes a hero. If you want out of the ordinary from the start go play D&D or Vampire or Mage or some such.

As far as I know there were no refs at Gen-con UK for BDRP even though they had freestuff to give anyone who would (couldn't make it due to money problems). Was no one told here? (seem to remember they were). A real dropping of the ball there by Chaosium I think. What about places like drivethrough RPG? people like free stuff...

There, put it right for you. Much as I admire the man, we have all said stupid things and he's not immune. One of sensible things he has said is, YGWMV. Your game world (or Glorantha or whatever) may vary. Game balance or lack of it, is entirely up to you. And BRP or runequest does both very well, and as has already been stated, it was talking about a superheros game.

Are you going to play it straight? Cause if not Raiders might give inspiration, or She or King Solomons mines, what about King Kong or a sea serpent?

I action each arm 2 attacks, large off hand modifier (-40 or whatever) 2 parries large off hand modifier 1 attack and 1 parry no off hand modifier 1 attack and 1 parry large modifier (for both hands). Simple. Have 2 SRs one for each arm and a large off hand modifier. Until they get over 100%...

Just what I was thinking. My friend still owes me a cope as a birthday and christmas and birthday and christmas present.... (4 rolled into one!)

Uhhhhhh, anyone just like Pendragon?

Anybody planing to play and use some DBRP love?

Isn't this very much to do with the idea that most people are very loathe to kill each other (stats about soldiers firing above the enemies heads spring to mind)?

What do you mean, do you mean timewise? Your question seems very vague. Yes I stick to having a melee round if thats what you mean, which containts everybody having actions or lack of them, within it.

The original 12 sec combat round in RQ was used with advice from people who also had experience similar to yours... I think it is personal prefference. I like 12 sec rounds and from the little experience I've had they seem to fit.

Anything that needs a whole supplement to itself seems like it is just asking for trouble and should be a no no. A bit like fortune telling (seeing the future), it has to be too vague as to have any meaning opr it is far too potent. "You will meet a tall dark stranger." takes on a whole new meaning with trolls in the game...
