Bill the barbarian

Okay, you got me, when do I join your group!

Of course, by ordering from a FLGS... well, I do our hobby a favour, but the anticipation I will have to suffer through as I wait to get a PDF until I have a physical copy... oh the pain!

Thanks , all good choices! I thought, as I introduced the idea, let’s let others carry it forward.

What could possibly go wrong... go wrong... go wrong... go wrong... Oh loverly... the Eurmali now have chaos features!

Of course, gags that grow on trees. Grow banana tree, and produce a crop of bananas... give away, sell, or eat the bananas... leave peels around, hilarity ensues Giant bananas optional!

Well, I just had a very pleasant talk with my FLGS, Warp1, who I recently reported had no interest in stocking RuneQuest. Thought I would give them one more chance and talked with the owner James (have not seen the lad since the late 90’s or early 21st century) and he says he is bringing in a bunch of the Starter sets. Got him to put one on the side for me when they arrive and to give me call and an email (brick and mortar store so he says the PDF should be included). He also agreed to let me run a demo once we end the lockdown again (said he would have leapt at the chance if we weren’t under lockdown)! WOOHOO!

I should not speak for others, but I am reasonably sure that the point was not that it could not be found but the that it was not easily found. Having to leave the core book Char Gen entirely to create an NPC or critter does not seem optimum.

Well thanks for telling me, I would never have known, I am quite new to this RQ game.

Had a series of combats in troll realms and the players hired a Xiola Umbar priestess. They were a bit surprised when told in no uncertain terms to allow enemies access to her skills as well as friends if they wished those skills to continue. I felt well within my rights to insist on this. This thread seems to agree as far as CAs are concerned.

Third party speculation has a certain charm, but I have always been a fan of hearing from the source. Thank you for the comments and memories.

Same for me, having played it for four years I feel I should know it better, but just beginning to come to grips with it.

Very true! Were you planning on trying this. If so let us know how it went!

Hey Mike, keep your eyes peeled here as well. I have had great luck finding games and players in the BRP forums.

And you wish to argue this point? <hoo boy>

The precise reason I mention to folk to consider well the reason they are augmenting. Saw this without the math!

Not a statistics man myself (loathe them really), but thanks for the great work anyway. I have had the opportunity of running a lot of newcomers this summer and I had to warn a great many of them that using a low ability to augment a high ability or just using augments willy nilly was going to bit them hard one of their rolls... the better tacticians understood this and utilized the augments like RPs. That is, as a limited resource that should not be squandered but utilized at critical points where it would make a great deal of difference should it succeed.

Where would Days Rest and Moonbroth fit into these, good sir!

Thanks Leingod, I can’t believe I forgot that one. Old age!

Interesting question, I know that oases change hands and not in a friendly manner, so I wonder what the mechanism is if not warfare at, around and near the oasis in question as Zit states.

Oooo, Vasana looks like a badass!

c'est dommage, that sucks. I am not a fan of online but I am a fan of RPGs... and when in a pandemic, well. that’s what I am talking about!

I wonder if we have any of the RQ4 AiG playtesters here on BRP Central. Might be interesting to hear their comments.

I would bet that a google search would turn up lots...

I know Doctor Who covers this idea a few times over a few doctors so this might be worth a lookup. Is that the one from a Polish sci-fi author?

You just have to hope they fumble their throw roll! if they used the RQ2 rules... it would be more likely!
