  1. No, not to my knowledge. I've read the Corum supplement, and the BGB, and there was nothing in there replicated in Magic World, or the BGB.
  2. Someone else is too, for appointing him to Chaosium. Mind you, he has done some stuff for 'em before. https://www.amazon.com/Slaves-Fate-Adventure-Melnibone-Stormbringer/dp/1568821549
  3. Writing as an unpaid shill for Newt Newport and D101 games...hang on..why am I unpaid? LOL Only joking. The setting seems both acessable and long term, if you choose to run a long campaign or series of them, you can't say much better than that.
  4. Dracas, if you're looking for legally free pdfs may I suggest you go here: http://www.stormbringerrpg.com/?page_id=63 and here: http://www.stormbringerrpg.com/?page_id=86 .
  5. If you're not looking at spending too much cash, then OQ is the fantasy rpg. May I also recommend Crucible of Dragons, which is a setting for OQ that you could get lots of mileage out of. https://d101games.com/books/openquest/crucible-of-the-dragons/
  6. This article looks interesting sciencewise, but don't let it stop you running a game in such a setting. http://www.centauri-dreams.org/?p=37109
  7. I forgot. Non rotating planets are going to have some trouble generating a magnetic field. Over a long time even a small star will generate a solar wind that could do some damage to the atmosphere of a tidally locked world, and without a magnetic field this is the most probable outcome.
  8. With the star being so low in mass some of those worlds would be tidally locked, with one side facing the star. If you have a nice thick atmosphere circulating on some of these tidally locked planets you can keep some semblance of warmth even on the dark side.
  9. And if someone could actually find me one in the UK, that I could buy, that would be supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
  10. Sure, it isn't the same Chaosium but you try telling that to MM. Plus I read somewhere that MM sold the rights to some film makers (was it the Wachowski brothers?) that would probably considerably increase the amount Chaosium would have to pay to get a licence to publish YK material. To my mind the most probable route to produce a YK related RPG (in english) would be to do it for Mythras, but Loz Whitaker has already said he isn't into doing that, plus the cost of the licence, et cetera, et cetera, et ceteraaaaaa........
  11. There is a character traits system in the latest Cthulhu by Gaslight CoC supplement. Some of the traits are advantageous and some are not. You can have such afflictions as Scarred which detracts from communications skills, or Social Stigma, or even Shady Past/Scandal. and if that isn't enough you can be Paunchy or Palsied or even Phobic/Manic. Each trait has rules effects.
  12. The Luther Arkwright setting, that the DI publishes, is already so influenced by Moorcock as to be described accurately as "Moorcockian".
  13. I just think that it is total bollocks that Chaosium would revamp, or even go for the Stormbringer franchise again. They had a spat with the author a long while ago and that showed the antipathy between Moorcock and Chaosium. The best company in a position to have a shot at an EC set of supplements to my mind would be the Mythras crew, as Loz Whitaker is both a fan and has written such stuff before. However buying the rights to such a setting might be expensive if Moorcock sold the rights to some film producer or other.
  14. Thanks Stoaty. I need the MRQII Wraith Recon GM Screen, but if I can get it from the UK I'll be happy. It is a pity that stuff is no longer being published for this setting.
  15. I would have thought the same way you do g33k. But I know that the folks on these fora come from an eclectic and diversely aged group. So I thought I might give it a try. As it happens groovyclam answered my question. Kudos to groovyclam for that.
  16. I am much obliged to you groovyclam! Thank you very much! Merci beaucoup! Arigato gozaimasu! Danke schon!
  17. Thanks for the links Soltakss, but I can't seem to find the character anywhere. Maybe I did slip into another universe where the character wasn't published?
  18. Way back half a trillion megaseconds ago, in the 1980s, I used to collect a DC comic with a character in it possibly called Bedlam, or Mayhem. This character was a young lad that had been experimented on to host a green suit of armour that teleported onto him whenever he was in a state of anger. There were villains against this hero in the form of powersuited samurai types. This comic was a limited series and not directly set in the DC universe. Can anyone please tell me what this character was called and where I can find more information on him? I've tried all sorts of search engine inputs to get to the bottom of this mystery, but no luck, and it is now making me seriously consider that I've ended up in a parallel universe where it was never published.
  19. I like the setting more than the ones in the other two OQ scenarios. There is a lot going on in the island setting, so that a campaign or three could be drawn from it. I'm even tempted to put Pherae into the Mythras Thennla setting, for a lark, which would add some depth to the outside world.
  20. Whatever happened to Wraith Recon? Did the conversion from MRQII to Legend mess with the licensing for Wraith Recon? I've not seen much for the setting besides the eponymous book and Spellcom. Was there supposed to be a GM screen for that setting, too?
  21. I prefer fixed armour points, simply because it keeps the players alive for a bit longer, and it eliminates another dice roll, therefore making space for roleplaying.
  22. The latest version of Cthulhu by Gaslight does indeed have a set of Character Traits rules that have advantageous and disadvantageous traits. The GM is advised to either ignore any rolled disadvantageous traits or give the players some extra skill points to keep the trait, if the player baulks at having rolled one.
  23. Thanks for the link Stoatbringer, and thanks for the offer Rick, but I haven't got the cash to buy such an interesting game. So trystero is lucky. I hope you get your sale, and trystero gets a game that is fun to play.
