Well deserved!

By the way, I've run RQ3 "renaissance" scenarios in RQG with no conversion at all and it worked fine. I used the strike ranks in the stats as they are and honestly nobody noticed! I only added a few runes and passions to the main antagonists and that was it.

I have backed it... Sadly it did not work out 😔! I still hope the author can put the game together and sell it on Drivethrurpg.

Many of the distinctions people use in talking about rpgs online are often modeled after D&D or colored by the experience of playing D&D, watching shows like Critical Role and the like. So, when people say "high fantasy" they actually think high-level post 3rd edition D&D and when they say "low fantasy", they actually think of low-level play in some OSR D&D retroclone. And BRP games never fitted these categories very well. In Stormbringer your Melnibonean sorcerer could literally summon the Lords of Chaos upon the Earth, but a lowly Nadsorkorian beggar could still one-shot him with a lucky critical. Is this high fantasy? Of course it is - it's uber-fantastical. Is this the kind of high fantasy someone with a D&D mindset would expect? Surely not.

Sounds beautiful. I cannot wait to see it.

Makes sense.

A question for @Rick Meints: are you going to include the simplifying combat sheet that came with the second printing of the boxed set? It's an excellent example of the flexibility of the BRP system.

Yes. Everyone needs the RQ Starter Set, actually. It's great and, probably, somehow under-appreciated. Yes, it got several rave reviews, but how come it did not get an Ennie? That's beyond me.

The automated sheet for CoC is there. So, I hope they could do one also for RQ. But I'm not holding my breath...

There's a RQG sheet but it's not automated for the moment. There's a free compendium with the quickstart and all the corebooks with the pay Chaosium bundle. The interface seems sleek, but without automated sheet it's not for my group.

This is getting more and more exciting! A question for @Jason D will Mythic Iceland 2 be based on BRP UGE, on RQG or entirely its own thing? I will buy it in a heartbeat in all cases, but I'm just super curious.

Tears of joy! This is great news.

Is the VTT forum dead or something?

Nuna was my choice in the vote. I hope it's a smashing success. I think it tries to do something BRP is particularly good at (post-apcalyptic science-fantasy survival) with a very original twist. It promises to be both fun and deep.

I've seen the advert of this up and coming VTT from Iceland: https://www.questportal.com/ They offer a pay Chaosium package with CoC, RQG and Pendragon. But the basic level is free. There are character sheets for all Chaosium games, including BRP. I've registered. Interface looks sleek and mobile friendly. But I still have to figure out how to really do things. Did anyone try it?
