Hello, all,
Right now I am working up an RQ3 campaign (non-Glorantha). The system fits hand-in-glove for what I want to do in my game, and I'm jazzed to introduce it to my group. I've long owned RQ3 (and SB 5th and CoC) but have never run a BRP game.
More than half of my group, however, are still quite new to RPGs. I'm afraid some of the concepts will give them trouble, particularly when it comes to combat (Strike Ranks and the like). I think SB 5's combat system is a better fit for those players, complexity-wise.
What would be the potential pitfalls of using the combat system from StormBringer 5th edition with RuneQuest 3? Is it workable?
I know there's a bit BRP book out that might facilitate this, but with my recent engagement (ouch diamonds ain't cheap) I haven't the money to purchase it. So I have to use what I have.
