Vorax Transtellaris Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Looks nice and neatly structured! :thumb: I don't want to rush anyone but since I am not that much into general fantasy now the wait is for Savage North!

dragonewt Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Well done. Thank you! OpenQuest puts the RuneQuest back into RuneQuest. It was certainly worth the effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newt Posted July 21, 2009 Author Share Posted July 21, 2009 The game has been out for over a week and during that time a couple of minor updates and clarifications have come to light. To this end an errata has been released and is available for people who want to see what has changed. Please note the PDF and Print version of the game have been updated to version 2 which includes this errata. If you ordered the print version from me you will be getting version 2 of the game with the errata included.

Thalaba Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Hi Newt, (or anyone else) Is OpenQuest basically a cleaned up version of the MRQ SRD, or if not, how different is it? Is is closer to MRQ or RQ2/3? Can someone explain it in point form? BTW the supplements look very promising! Thanks Quote "Tell me what you found, not what you lost" Mesopotamian proverb __________________________________ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al. Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 (edited) Thalaba (and maybe others) I may well be missing things but otomh Damage Modifier is the coarser BRP/RQIII one rather than MRQ (one of the few bad changes in my view) Hero Points are in No Idea roll, Luck roll, etc Skill bases are similar to MRQ but more consistent Skill list is MUCH shorter Rules for skills over 100% are much simpler Improvement/skill improvement rules are simpler Has the three Magic systems inspired by RQIII Weapons are similar to MRQ rather than RQIII Armour is RQII like Rules for multiple attacks/parries are more generous than RQIII Advice on when and when not to call for a roll is far clearer than MRQ The writing style is more grown up than MRQ The rules for more experienced characters are much less faffy Al Edited July 23, 2009 by Al.

Thalaba Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Most important: no hit locations, only general hit points. Woops - it was looking good to me until this. I guess that was done in the originial spirit of SimpleQuest . Thanks for the clarification, guys! Looking forward to seeing the supplements!

Newt Posted July 26, 2009 Author Share Posted July 26, 2009 How's The Savage North coming along? Very nicely thanks John has been churning maps out at a frightening pace and is now moving onto the internal art. I'm just finsihing of the background info and Magic chapters, before descending on John's four adventures and putting in OpenQuest stats. Its all coming together at a very fast n furious pace for these sort of things. I'm not going to be pinned down on a release date, but I don't see Oct as unreasonable even though I'm going to be a dad for the second time in Sept.

Thanks for the clarification, guys! Looking forward to seeing the supplements! Thalaba Yup OpenQuest is a continuation of what I started in SimpleQuest, with creatures, a setting and an adventure thrown in. However the download is FREE, so don't let lack of Hit Locations put you off haveing a look and taking the bits you like. They are easily put back in from your favourite iteration of RQ/BRP. Its just I prefer no Hit Locations and the Major Wound system. Likewise if you don't any aspect of the system, just swop back in the bit you like. OpenQuest while very much its own man is designed to be broadly compatible with other D100 systems.
