sladethesniper Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Thanks everyone for the welcome. This is probably one of the nicest forums I've ever been to... Welcome bartmoss As for the game, I am desperately looking for some beta playtesters since most folks I know play D20 :mad: and don't want to learn a "new" game or they are involved in long term games... The only issue is that I would eventually like to get it published, but failing that, it will be placed under creative commons and able to be freely downloaded. To be honest the only reason that I would like it to be published is to offset the costs of the artwork I want to put in it...I am a big believer in artwork setting the "mood" of the game... -STS Quote Vhreaden: Blood, Steel and Iron Will is here!

sladethesniper Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Greetings Lupercal. As for opening a thread about my game, it seems a bit of a self promotion, doesn't it?? I guess I can open a thread about it, but if it appears a bit unseemly, feel free to remove it friendly moderator :innocent: -STS Quote Vhreaden: Blood, Steel and Iron Will is here!

Centaur66 Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Hi folks...I cut my gaming teeth on D&D way back in 1980.Moved onto Dragonquest(anyone remember that?!),Call of Cthulhu,Space Opera,Boot Hill.Currently occasionally playing H.A.R.P. (a sort of streamlined version of Rulemonster,I mean Rolemaster).A confession:I've only played Runequest once(ahem).I love the BRP system but somehow couldn't get into Glorantha.Heresy,I know...

The Last Conformist Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 An on-and-off roleplayer since the mid-'90s, I first played BRP (in the form of CoC) only a couple of years ago, and it quickly became my favourite system. Some here will recognize me from RPG.net, or from Yog-Sothoth.com (where I post under the name "Nescio").

GerallKahla Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Centaur66 - You don't like Glorantha?!? Well, alright then... Welcome all - I'm having lots of fun with Zero Edition just running in my own little worlds. I don't think anyone here's going to give you grief about not enjoying Glorantha. If they do, you're not obligated to read those posts. Have fun with it! It's a game! Quote Emerging from my Dark Age... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centaur66 Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Cheers.Actually,I should explain...certain aspects of Glorantha I loved-namely,the monsters and the whole chaos thing.To this day,Jack o'bear (?)and broo are two of my favourite beasties.My brother was the Glorantha freak.Never stopped going on about his damned dragonnewt...

ronnyquest Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 I guess I could have posted here back when I registered. Oh well... My first RPG experience happened in the late 70s with a TSR product. I've become acquainted with many, many games since that time, owning far more than I ever played (or needed)... My first BRP game experience was sometime in 1982 with Call of Cthulhu. I was instantly a fan of the system; it probably helped that I was somewhat obsessed with Lovecraft. The BRP games I currently own are Stormbringer, Nephilim, and Call of Cthulhu. I also have a copy of GORE, which I currently use for my own campaigns. My favorite games are Worlds Beyond, Fading Suns, the TTA RPG, Traveller, Spacemaster, and Call of Cthulhu.

Trifletraxor Posted April 4, 2008 Author Share Posted April 4, 2008 Welcome ronnyguest! Are you just using the GORE rules, or are you also playing any of the GORE settings? SGL.

ronnyquest Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Are you just using the GORE rules, or are you also playing any of the GORE settings? So far, just the GORE rules in my own scenarios. I'm writing material for a science fiction campaign setting using real stars as the territory to explore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spinward1093 Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Hello all! My name's Tom and I've been playing Call of Cthulhu since around 1987 and (a long time ago) tried out a game of Rune Quest. I managed to pick up a second-hand copy of the 1984 edition of Rune Quest Deluxe Boxed Set. It appears on first perusal, that Cal of Cthulhu is a simpilfied version of the main Rune Quest rules. I'm particularly impressed with a few things, which I'll list: The sheer amount of stuff in the box - all those books and a large map of Europe, too!The game mechanic - Fatigue points! Nice touch since combat would be really stressful and exhausting!The Strike Ranks mechanic, beats an initiative roll hands down Now, I'm sure there's a whole load more in there that's full of crunchy goodness, but that's as far as I've read so far... -Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soltakss Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 Glad you could join us. The mechanics of Call of Cthulhu are slimmed down from RQ3, but the mechanics in CoC aren't that important as the atmosphere and background are the most important thing in CoC. But, yes, to an old RQ-Head like me, RQ has a very tich set of mechanics that CoC just doesn't have. BRP seems to be able to have the same richness of game rules/mechanics if you use the optional rules. Quote Simon Phipp - Caldmore Chameleon - Wallowing in my elitism since 1982.

ronnyquest Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 You know, I have never played RQ in all my decades of gaming. Neither Pendragon. Strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King of Old School Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Hi all, I thought I'd be polite and post an introduction here. I'm a long time fan of Call of Cthulhu but am very eagerly looking forward to the new BRP corebook so that I can check out all the neat system variations from RQ that I've always been curious to see.

Fergo113 Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 G'day everyone, I am an Ozzy and I have been playing rpg's since highschool. Initially played Advanced D&D but soon converted to Runequest II when I played a campaign with the gaming club I was in at the time (and no I am not a geek!). Since then I have played a lot of Runequest (mostly the Runequest II rules set, but have RQIII and Mongoose RQ IV), D20 Modern, Middle-earth Role Playing (MERP), Call of Cthulhu, and a bit of Traveller, Aftermath and Decipher's Lord of the Rings. In my opinion, the BRP based games kick butt compared to the others.:thumb: Latelly, for the last two or so years, I have been running a campaign set in Middle-earth using MERP modules run to a hybrid Runequest rule system. I am currently updating those rules to the new BRP rulebook (Zero edition) and will post it in the download section when its at a state to allow for broader playtesting. Cheers, Fergo113 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GerallKahla Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 KoOS, Fergo113 - welcome to the forums! Glad to see more people from the "I like BRP" camp showing up for some discussion... KoOS; the Zero Edition is a very slick book, and will be even better once the edits are complete and 1st Edition makes the shelves. Fergo113; interesting set of games on your "Gamer CV"! Were your RQ2 adventures all focused on Glorantha? All the best, folks! Quote Emerging from my Dark Age... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
