A giant mecha and Godzilla, and various superheroes versus a whole gaggle of hounds of Tindalos, and their leader left several supers dead and a smashed up mecha but a nuke finished off the hounds. What's not to like? LOL My players enjoyed it but were a bit mindblown.

It would be interesting to see if you could use some of the stuff from the Mythras Classic Fantasy version with OQ to run a game. 

He is the High Druid of Britain.

Alive when Claudius landed on Britain’s shores.

An advisor to Boudicca when she challenged the Romans.

Alive when the Romans massacred the druids at Ynys Mon.

Alive when Vortigern ventured north with mercenaries to destroy the Picts.

Alive when Uther’s bastard was begat by Ygraine.

He lives still. This is his world.

It is made of the breath, scales and bones of the Great Red Dragon.

It flows through him, and he is Britain.

He has walked with gods and counselled them.

The ancestors revere and respect his presence.

The Saxons tremble at his name.

 

He is Merlin.

 

Fear Him.

 

Mythic Britain is a complete sourcebook for adventuring in Britain’s Dark Ages using the RuneQuest rules. The book includes an extensive history and background of 5th and 6th Century Britain; details of the different tribes and territories; complete character creation rules for Britons and Saxons, details of magic, the Saints and pagan Gods; and, rules for massed battles. Completing the book, seven linked scenarios form the Mythic Britain Campaign in which the characters travel the length of breadth of the island, serving Merlin and Arthur, fighting the Saxon invaders, searching for the lost Treasures of Britain, and becoming involved in all manner of schemes and intrigues.

Take up your spears. Swear your oaths. Ready your shields.

Superheroes and mecha is a lovely juxtaposition. But I need a copy of Roadstriker to inspire some smaller mechage for the villains and heroes. :/

Your sleepy mistake prompted me to seek out a copy of BRP Mecha. Arigato gozaimasu!

Have you seen the Loz Whitaker's Branch Wise cult? It may come in handy as a framework for rationalising why characters know plant magic. You can find the article here: From

I understand where Chaot is coming from. Sure you can write a setting yourself, but that also takes quite a bit of grey matter storage and time..

And has the advantage of keeping canon to a minimum if you so desire.

The advantage of a published setting which is internally consistent is that the GM can have some clue if players say "What's over there?" while pointing to some obscure bit of the map.

If you've drawn a map of your invented world then you can answer the question "What's over there?" with

"Shathen's Keep, where the Homunculus Plague that decimated the Third Empire originated", because you've sat down and written a brief but interesting history beforehand.

Surely if you want "little set canon to tie one down" you'd be better off running a setting you've written, not a published one?

"When I turned my attention to sci-fi last year it was to traveler that I wanted to do a BRP conversion for."

If, in the future you want to run a game there already is a conversion of Traveller to the BRP rules online here http://www.basicrps.com/links/stefan/brp.html

. Soltakss also has a conversion to the RQ rules withTraveller spaceship design and combat in it, and lots more, here

I have that supplement, thanks. Converting it to BRP is something I hadn't thought about. I just wanted some easy rules for my last space opera game, and the GURPS rules stood out as easily convertable.

Half of these RPGs I've never heard of. Shows how old and cloistered I am!

I'll check them out. I'm always interested in travellers' photos of locations I'll never get to go to.

I like the hat. What a pity I don't live anywhere near southern Ontario. Seeing someone GM in a hat like yours would be a blast!

Good luck finding a group.

It looks good.

Great stuff. Vance is as near to being a deity as makes no odds. Thanks for posting these.

I'm glad you enjoyed reading them.

What happened to the rest of your blog entries? Did your job rob you of almost all your blogtime?

"They wear rude leather aprons" Whoops! That should be crude, not rude! I've fixed that little gaffe. You might want to give them 2 points of protection for the leather aprons.

One got an arm ripped off. Thank goodness for regeneration technology in high tech settings, but he still had to get back to the spacecraft to get his treatment.

They've gotten their plasma weapons from page 256 of the BRP book  :P!

And no, they're more leopard like than anal...er sorry, antsy!

Who put that beetle there?

There is a picture of a Dirdir and a Pnume on this page: http://aliens.wikia.com/wiki/File:Dirdir.png

But Barlowe gets it wrong; Dirdir effulgences stream backwards from the face, not forwards.

Sounds like some nasty opponents!

SGL.

Not with the high tech weaponry doing the rounds in my game!

I'll have to get the other aliens I've converted typed up and posted, but I'm very busy at the moment!

Thanks for describing your setting. I'm expecting you to write a monograph some time in the near future;)

"Avolawn: the second rise of man"

Can you please tell us about this game setting?
