I asked the same thing a year ago. Might be of help.

That is a terrible shame. I really like Aquelarre, but my Spanish is limited to a single first year unit at Uni, and a lost weekend in San Sebastian in 1989. 😐

I already have core book on drivethrurpg, having backed kickstarter. Is the Chaosium version any different, and if so will the drivethrurpg versions be updated? Also, are there plans to further develop the line with scenarios and the like?

Alea iacta est. A critical succes.

In some respects so do Bandits.

Or Survival.

Great work, and very helpful. With 3 offical scenario products now published for RQG, what is the concensus regarding the chronology of the adventures in terms of running them all as a campaign? This excellent map certainly shows locations. Some scenarios have specific dates (The Smoking Ruin and The Pegasus Plateau scenarios occur within days of each other), but others do not. Taking difficulty into consideration, I wonder if the first scenario published, Defending Apple Lane, should be run third, after Cattle Raid and The Grey Crane. Then what? Not to mention the one-adventure-per-season idea.

These koalas were rescued at a place called...and I'm not making this up...Cudlee Creek.

The Fox News website's Australia page certainly does mention the fires. It mentions little else. But the main World page is indeed showing nada. Rupert Murdoch has a suitably swish property at Cavan, about 15km NW of Canberra, on the edge of forest. I think his daughter lives there. Its not in any immediate danger from local blazes, but that can easily change. If that estate goes up, the story might get better coverage on Fox.

It is. But not without good reason. Now the race is on. Will GaGoG be out before the fires?

Well, when it comes to getting political milage from these fires, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison sets the benchmark. https://mobile.twitter.com/ScottMorrisonMP/status/1213330419044638722?ref_src=twsrc^tfw|twcamp^tweetembed&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.abc.net.au%2Fnews%2F2020-01-04%2Faustralia-defence-reservists-to-help-in-bushfire-recovery%2F11840764 Sorry, not sure if this is linking🤔

SBS TV in Australia shows numerous overseas news broadcasts. This morning Ive seen the Australian Prime Minister heckled by fire victims on the BBC, American ABC, France 24, and in Italian on TG 1. Also there was a lethal airstrike in Iraq, and Harry Kane is injured again (seperate incidents). As Ian Absentia sugests, I guess its where you look.

Fires are certainly common enough during the Australian summer, which runs roughly from December to mid March. The issue this year is that such huge fires are ocurring in December, easily to coolest (well, least incredibly hot) of the summer months. And some of these fires have ben in areas that don't usually have fires. In Decmber 2019 many towns experienced their hottest recorded days ever. The worst may be yet to come. The political response at state level has been good. At federal level it was quite blase, until loss of life and property effectively forced the governments hand to do something. Anything. Climate-change denial is a prominant feature of the current government, but not amongst the public. Most regional (as opposed to metropolitan) fire fighters here are trained volunteers, not professionals, and several have been killed defending life and property, unpaid, and away from their families at Christmas and New Year. This too has been a major news item here.

After what he did to "The Wicker Man", I'd have to agree. But l too saw the trailer today, and it looks ok.

Chad Bowser was working on it. He's on these boards, I believe. I've not seen anything that states it's been officially canned, postponed, in progress, or whatever. That is not dead which can eternal lie...

When I saw this.. ...I was immediately reminded of this... https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-08-18/china-pla-military-still-need-the-humble-yak/11405070

Relax. It wasn't even ten bucks. I pissed away a lot more than that on the Shadowlands kickstarter.

Just bought the MW pdf on sale, entirely in anticipation of this product. Looking forward to seeing the finished article.

Although technically a different game, there's Delta Green, of course.

"Fear's Sharp Little Needles" too, plus "Occam's Razor" on the way. All by Stygian Fox.

My Granda used to summon his cows by singing. YouTube is full of footage of people attracting cows with song or music. Yanioth has sing at 70%.

I hadn't planned to get KAP, but I'm toying with the idea of getting the Paladin core book and scenario book. I've no previous experience with that system. Thanks all for the input. It has helped clarify things.

I'm confused about the "Battle " skill, as presented in the RQG book. The RQG book says it "measures how the adventurers do during an engagement", a battle "large or small". In the case of "small", isn't this what combat decides? Is the purpose of the skill to determine the Experience from the Battle Results table after a combat? It is not explained in the Combat section of the book. The example of the use of the Battle skill in the Skills section of RQG describes a scenario a lot like "Defending Apple Lane", but it doesn't elaborate as to whether combat or the "battle" roll determined what occurred, although it does suggest that experience rolls can be determined later. This sounds too important to only appear in writing in the skills section only. What am I missing?
