  1. okay, feeling slightly more coherent now.

    my group's choice for fantasy gaming is WFRP 1st ed. while i think it's great, i have the urge to do something brp-esque. i have MRQ & the companion. i've run CoC (3rd ed.) with them before, so they're familiar with the mechanics. i'm wondering if i should go ahead with MRQ, or wait until BRP comes out and go from there.

    the rune magic system is okay; it doesn't really grab me, though. the shamanism thing seems like it would be neat, but i don't have the gloranthan book with the rules for it (cults 1? 2? :confused: )

    the campaign style would be a pre-history europe kind of thing, inspired by slaine & conan. the "locations only rolled with major hits" is similar enough to WFRP that my group should have no problem.

    i don't get the "skills over 100%" thing, having only played CoC, mechanically speaking. maybe through actual play it would make sense?

  2. i've been feeling the same celtic vibe that's going around, it seems! love the worlds you've created, aycorn & tal. if i ever get to start the fantasy prehistory sort of game i'm thinking of, i'll have to add your folks' notes to my bibliography, so to speak.

    i need to pick up pendragon, too. the seasonal element sounds like a neat touch for any game.

  3. i voted "like it". i dig the font. good color on the cover, and it shows different genres, also a plus.

    it could be "love" if it had more action in it. the figures are a bit too posed; not enough energy. and the saucer attack part lacks depth.

    it doesn't need to have screaming, anime speed lines. just a bit more of a snapshot of action, of movement, sort of thing.
