    RoH character sheets?

    in D101 Games

    I didn't think this needed a new thread, but I wanted to mention what I was up to with RoH.  I used it to run a Fringeworthy adventure earlier this year,  and for Free RPG Day 2019 I'm working on something I've always wanted to run: an adventure set on Jack Vance's Tschai Planet of Adventure. 

    I'm in the process of converting the RoH character sheet.  There will be 5-6 of them, all with the planetary map, space for character art, and one of the alien races of Tschai depicted (Green and Blue Chasch, Wanek, Dirdir, Pnume, and maybe one with a Night Hound). 

    I finally feel like I have the resources to run a Tschai adventure; with heavy reliance on the old GURPS setting book, but also recently getting the entire series on audio book.  There is a French Tschai RPG that came out late last year, so I'll have to keep an eye out for the English translation (if it happens).  It was based heavily on the French Tschai comic book adaptation I think. 

    Anyway, here is the work-in-progress Tschai Planet of Adventure character sheet.  I included 'BRP' in the title for name recognition value, but then again the two players I had for Fringeworthy had never actually played any Chaosium RPG.  They understood percentages though, and had no issues with the game system.

    And in addition to Mythras from TDM, we must also suffer OpenQuest &c from d101, the Renaissance line from C&W, RD100 from Alephtar,  MRQ Legend, RDP Q21, d00Lite, GORE, Open Basic, and likely more I've forgotten or overlooked.

    The problem is obviously even worse than you thought!

    Seriously:  the stuff that seems to be bothering you is actually a reflection of the strength of BRP and its presence within the overall RPG market.

    (And for the record, HQ has both a generic engine (HQ2) and a specific Glorantha version, each as a standalone product.)

     

     

     

     

    It does seem to me that BRP is a bit like a religion in that it has schismed repeatedly. What we don't need is purges by fanatics bent on restoring orthodoxy. Though I like the BGB, and would like to see more supplements done for it.

    Not squamously rugose, or gibberingly gibbous enough!!

    are downtrodden and unsanitary if you don't use Stay-free Maxipads.

    So switch to BRP, the only role-playing system guaranteed to combat unsightly Cthulhu-itis, freshen your Broo, and put the myth back in your characters' mythadventures!  Anything less is Ducking your responsibilities as a GM.

    "Just the Prax, ma'am.  Just the Prax"

    Dammit Seneschal, I don't even know where to find those Stayfree-Maxipads! I'm stuck using rugosely squamous and cyclopean R'lyeh Brand slime pads! Also, if Chaosium were to pay me, handsomely, to promote BRP I would happily walk around Nottingham dressed as  the BGB! 🤣

    First of all I'm glad that BRP is not just in the hands of one game company any more, and would still be around in some form should, Cthulhu forbid, Chaosium disappear.  Secondly, why should we be burdened with spreading BRP like it is some kind of religion? Surely we're running, or playing, it for entertainment and not because we're proselytisers. Most of us can barely get a game together what with juggling our work and family life, let alone act as spreaders of the faith beyond our usual gaming hours.

      They tend to be socialistic in nature and consider fascism to be the adversary, especially the Nazi brand.  What keeps getting obscured in the "common sense" claims of National Socialism being "right wing" and International Socialism (a.k.a. Communism) being "left wing" are that they are both socialist. 

    With such a fear of the word "socialism" you sound like one of those sociopathically selfish rightwing American libertarians that grace social media with their howling wails of horror at anything remotely co-operative. All of humanity is pretty much socialistic in that they tend to form societies. 😁 LOL

    Does anyone remember a Superworld scenario in Different Worlds magazine called Threat of the Nighthaunt? I'm just wondering if it was worth seeking out?

      What makes Stormbringer special in a way that other out-of-print products, say Ringworld and Superworld, aren't?

     

    It's fantasy (and lets face it that genre pretty much dominates roleplaying, even today) and it was fun. Nuff said. ;)
