was Looking at the fact both Pigs and dogs go wild very easy. You are right that the pact between man and dogs might protect dogs to an extent .But pigs have no such protection and wild hogs might even be native to the elder wilds . Pigs that have escaped and gone wild have become major nuisance in parts of the USA I know. Wild Razerbacks are not something you want to meet on a hike.

As for the Broo in the Elder wilds.. Would there not be a number of dog and pig Broo since since dogs are common and there are domesticated .and almost certainly wild pigs.

#2 might be a problem for me. At my age my minds tends to wander all over the place. Of course it tended to wander all over the place when I was younger too.

I like abstract wealth here. I remember reading once that a Medieval Knight could go a whole year and not so much as touch a single coin and most trade was in barter till recently.

I would add a spirit cult follower of Thunderbird, Kolat, Rainbow girl Or Lighting boy. They are Airl cults and should get along with Urox and the Orlanthi .

I have some maps published by the Unspoken words in 2003. Including one of the area around Pavis. Don't know how " Official they are. I might part with them to prevent a visit by the Crimson bat or if Jar Eel give me a big smile. But then I might to fight off the Crimson bat and keep the maps. But if Jar Eel smiled and said please I might not be able to resist.

If you are looking for simple rules Dark city games has a free down load called legends. Legends is really the old THE FANTASY TRIP rules modernized a little. http://darkcitygames.com/downloads.php

Well if Im going to use the tunnels and Troll System , I want to play Monsters!Monsters! Equal time for the bad guys.

If I remember right, the Illiad mention Achilles going on a cattle raid against an ally of Troy and killing the sons of the King who where guarding the cattle. Nestor also mention a cattle raid he conducted when he was young.

I hate to bring this up and I am not accusing anyone of anything as we are a pretty diverse and laid back group. But I would be careful of using the term Mudsharks in a public game, at least in California. The name Mudsharks , here in California has been hijacked by skinhead nitwits and they use it to refer to white men and women who are in interracial relationships. Which is a shame because Mudsharks are a cool monsters.

I forget who( At my age I forget what I had for breakfast) but somebody here ran a Narnia campaign for their family a while back. And you might be able to run Hogwarts using Magic world . I like gritty games but BRP flexible enough that you don't have to run gritty games.

Im very careful about tossing bad guys with a large attack bonus at players. A Great troll with a War Maul, even with just a 30% chance to hit can kill a player in one shot. Toss a few at the players and one will die. I decided to use the damage bonus for size and strength out of RQ6( It scales up slower) just so I could toss large bad guys at players and not have them end up as a red spot on the ground.

Would also point out that if using the Magic book, while a Sorcerer is very powerful, its a Long road to get there. Your Rune Pries, your Shaman and your Warrior will reach their goals and become a force to be reckon with long before your sorcerer does. Your warrior can choose to master sword and shield while a Sorcerer has to master four magic skills plus his favorite spells . Add to the fact that the warrior spirit magic spells require no investment in skill rolls and just cost coin to learn and the Warrior is going to get to rune level before the Sorcerer. Not that an adept sorcerer is useless or not useful to have around, but a Magnus is for those who are willing to be patient.

Although I love the Magic book and feel at present its the best system for BRP, you should look at the other magic systems too. The Magic and sorcery system in the Gold book are simpler, although its up to the GM to balance Wizards against normal non spellcasting characters. The Enlighten Sorcery book would be good for a low magic game and deserve a look in my opinion.

I have used lots( and I mean lots) of Giant insects against my players as I can get them cheap in the toy section of discount stores. Once I bought a bag of 100 plastic Ants( they where about 12 mm long) and glued 1-3 on stands. For some reason my players hate them.

As Baulderstone state . In BRP surrender both for the bad guys and the players is always an option. Make sure players know or encourage to both take prisoners and surrender if the odds are against them. I never understood why in most RPG slavery is bad and evil but slaughtering the bad guys to the last infant is OK.

Remember everyone can do everything, even if not well. The player with 5% world history just might roll a 01% and save the day. Or the player with the worst combat score might score the lucky hit. Just ask any trollkin with a 10% skill in throw rock skill what can happen in combat.

I have both Elric and Advanced Sorcery and Magic world on my list of things to buy when . One thing I noticed in both was there seemed there was no way for a lonely Sorcerer to summon a Demon to go on a dinner date with out freaking out the Waiter.

More important is that that shooting at the center of the body is far easier then shooting at a limb and a bullet that enter the center torso is less likely to travel and hit some one else.

Too bad the old Thieves world supplement is gone and hard to find.

Should be kept in mind many Craft skills where family or State Secrets. Good example of Tyrian purple dye where some say the slaves responsible for making the dye where blinded so as to not run away. or the making of glass in Venice where the glass workers where forbidden from leaving the island of Murano on pain of death. I remember reading a story set in Japan where a man moved to a village famous for its pottery, married a local woman and stayed there for twenty years till he learned the secrets of how their pottery was made. He then moved back to his old village and taught them the secrets he learned about pottery making. The people in the village who had their secrets stolen where so enraged they burn the mans wife and children to death.

Well there is the repair spell. But will Repair fix a leaking roof is the question?

Two of my favorite Sorcery spells are animate wood and form set wood. Very useful for day to day living.

I was thinking. On other games forums they discuss how to get a few more points of damage out of a class and how your character sucks is he is not maximized for damage output. Here we discuss what type of house our character will see on his travels.
