The Venomous Pao Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 So, great and powerful BRP board folks, how are the sailing rules in the Elric!/SB5 supplement Sailing on the Seas of Fate? Are they (as I expect) generally compatible with the current iteration of BRP? Do they make you itch with a need to run a sailing-focused campaign? Or do they just make you itch? I ask all this because I'm pondering picking up a copy, but I figured I'd check with the experts before I spent my precious dollars. I bow before your wisdom. And I promise that I shall not to ask any questions about opposed rolls in this thread. I can't speak for others, though Quote 75/420 --- Geek blogging at http://strangestones.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rules aren't too complex and I can't recall any reason they wouldn't be compatible with BRP. I'll have to dust off my copy at home and have another look see. It currently only costs 5 precious dollars if you get it from Chaosium, and is probably well worth it. Once they are out of stock they won't be printing more and will like cost a good bit more.

Chaot Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 They're great. I've wanted to adapt them to a Mass Combat system for the longest time. Quote 70/420 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Venomous Pao Posted May 29, 2009 Author Share Posted May 29, 2009 Cool. Well, with two general thumbs up and a price that's hard to beat, consider it ordered. Thanks, Rurik and Chaot!

Sunwolfe Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Not, as I read, that you need to be encouraged to buy, but maybe to reaffirm your already wise decision: I run my campaign fairly BRP RAW...messy rolls and all ...and have used that particular Elric!/SB supplement the absolute most--a lot of water travel happens in my games. Cheers, Sunwolfe Quote Present home-port: home-brew BRP/OQ SRD variant; past ports-of-call: SB '81, RQIII '84, BGB '08, RQIV(Mythras) '12, MW '15, and OQ '17 BGB BRP: 0 edition: 20/420; .pdf edition: 06/11/08; 1st edition: 06/13/08 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Sunwolfe Very good to hear. The nagging buyer's remorse (as much as one can feel for $5 plus shipping) was just thinking about kicking in. So now I can put that to rest and look forward to some sea action in my game. Yay! Thanks, Sunwolfe!

Hervé Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Sailing on the Sea of Fate was a very nice (but often somewhat underrated) supplement. I remember using it a lot in my Elric games which focused heavily on sea travel. For five bucks, it is not to be missed... Quote I talk to planets, baby.
