Excellent News !!!! Question... in the future do you think there will be plans for Late Imperial Supplement?

I am going to be interested in seeing the two modern supplements,but that is for next months purchases. Opps the good old mastercard... I am trying to figuire out where they picked up some of the data? The T-10 and MC-1 chutes are not as bad as depicted. Where is the Drager LR V rebreather?

To be honest I hope Pete and Loz do manage to find time in their respective projects to continue to expand the BRP/ "Wayfart" (MRQII had a better ring to it) Eternal Champion Line. Peter if you are out there " Achilles and Hector are waiting as well as a pantheon of other hero's of the Hellens".

Did the two modern weapons BRP Supplements address the damage issues ?

Twrch Trwyth Boar Twrch is named as the son of Prince Tared, cursed into the form of a wild creature; he has poisonous bristles, Culhwch is given the task by Ysbaddaden Pencawr, the giant whose daughter Olwen Culhwch seeks, of obtaining the comb and scissors from Twrch's head. Further, Ysbaddaden states that the only hound who can hunt Twrch is Drudwyn, the whelp of Greid, and then goes on to list the requirements of the leash to hold Drudwyn, the only man strong enough to hold the leash, &c. Ultimately Ysbaddaden calls on Culhwch to seek out Arthur, Culhwch's cousin, to help him hunt Twrch. Prior to the hunt, Menw son of Teirgwaedd is sent to verify that the comb and scissors are between Twrch's ears. He takes the form of a bird and flies to Twrch's lair, encountering the boar with seven piglets. Menw then tries to swoop down and snatch one of the implements from Twrch's scalp, but only manages to take one silver bristle; Twrch is agitated and shakes himself, scattering venom onto Menw, wounding him. The hunt for Twrch takes up the greater portion of the latter half of Culhwch and Olwen, and it is described in great detail the geographical route of the pursuit, and those who take active part in it. Although it is Culhwch who is given the task, it is Arthur and his men who take the most prominent role in the chase, Culhwch having successfully enlisted his aid. Combat Notes The gore of a Twrch Trwyth’s tusks is ferocious and it can both Sunder and Impale, although these manoeuvres are applied only if the boar strikes for a critical success. Otherwise the boar uses Bash as its primary Combat Manoeuvre.

Well I have enjoyed the ROME supplement and think it is a good example for Historical BRP.

I was in touch with another grognard while we were wistfully reminiscing about the old days and the subject of TSR's TOP SECRET came up. Later I was thinking "now there is a game that could easily convert to BRP". Anyone else thought about this?

The Lion Gate at Mycenae must have been something.... for me it would have been standing at Hissarlik/Troy. The old Micheal Wood " In search of the Torjan War" still captivates me even through the data is old and they have found the rest of the city on the plane below.

I may be wrong but, I think Pete Nash mentioned something about an Ancient Greece MRQII or BRP Supplement. It was on the Mongoose Forums. I know a few of us were trying to encourage him.

Should have been with the mess they seem to constantly make

Pete just resigned using a line from Hitchhiker's Guide Mongoose Pete Lesser Spotted Mongoose Joined: 31 May 2007 Posts: 670 Location: Boden, Sweden New postPosted: Mon May 23, 2011 11:41 am Post subject: So Long & Thanks for all the Fish Reply with quote What with the big news release that RQ and Mongoose are going their separate ways, the time has come to announce that I too have resigned from Mongoose. Its been a hectic few years, but very educational. Many thanks to all those who appreciated the hard work Loz and I placed into the revised MRQ2 rules. Indeed your glowing reviews and continuing support of our books have encouraged us to work above and beyond the modest gratuity we received. I have been especially pleased by the general congeniality of these forums and hope that you'll continue to help one another in the future. However, as time moves on my interests meander and head-hunting offers become increasingly difficult to resist. I already have a few projects waiting in line so I shall still continue to write RPGs, but those waiting for an Ancient Greece source book might have to wait a while longer. Wink So without whittering on any longer, I bid you all adieu. Take care and keep on playing!

The 'critical mess" quip about the RQ/Wayfarer fanzine was a zinger.

when I spoke with him this weekend he seemed to be reflecting on his experience with them, it almost seemed as if he was reassuring himself about his earlier departure.

Matt Spange seems to not be enjoying himself and all the catty humor on the boards at Mongoose.

I had a back and forth going on with him this weekend about the "sterling products" Mongoose produces. I knew something was up with how and what he was asking. And Glorantha is Loz's first taskings.... he did make the comment he would still work with Mongoose on the EC line...sounds like a dead product line again.

I knew it Loz is at Moondesign..... today, lots of very interesting things happening today.

Considering that most of the Mongoose products are on 4Shared.com... you would think someone has it out for them.

Laymen's terms.... the rules system continues under a new name, but 2nd Age dies off.

I really don't think he was.... Loz was hinting at it on another forum.

The Mongoose Runequest II ruleset was better than its predecessor. Gotta give loz credit for that. I would like to see chaosium become its old self again..

Stafford and Mongoose split today

Gents, I while back I started on the forums with gusto and enthusiasm ... I was struck down by an almost terminal condition. I am recovering now and will be back with the gusto and enthusiasm I had started with. Bleddyn
