smiorgan Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 @Jason D- you briefly mentioned Mythic Iceland's writing style and editing in a recent video (below). Is there anything you can share with us about the book/ books and how they are shaping up? In the meantime, I'm pretty excited by what I've seen of Lords of the Middle Sea... 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaot Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 (edited) Charles Green is brilliant and he should be let loose to develop whatever he wants. He has an amazing ability to balance game mechanics with genre, while keeping everything simple. Edit: Also, whoever is doing the edit on these interviews, stop adding in a cross fade. Just use a simple cut. Cross fades imply the passage of time. Edited September 25, 2022 by Chaot 3 Quote 70/420 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smiorgan Posted September 25, 2022 Author Share Posted September 25, 2022 Is Charles Green involved in Mythic Iceland? Is he the editor Jason is talking about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason D Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 The two books that make up Mythic Iceland are through editing and are now waiting for art direction. They were edited by Leslee Beldotti, who, like me, has extensive experience in computer game and tabletop editing, and also, like me, lives in Berlin. Her being local helped immensely as we were able to meet for coffee on a regular basis and hash out elements that were in question, and being in the same time zone meant questions/answers were handled quickly, vs an eight-to-twenty-four-hour delay. She's currently editing the completed portions of Lord of the Middle Sea. We're sorting out an art director for the project right now, and once that deal is signed they'll be firing off art assignments and getting maps done. Covers, I am hoping, will be done by a longtime regular artist well-known to RuneQuest fans. I don't know Charles Green personally. Though I'm aware of his work and have communicated with him in the past, I have no idea what he's up to and the last communication we had was as part of the team of the ill-fated Magic World, ten years ago. I'm not sure why he was referred to here, to be honest. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it lean more towards RQG? CoC7? Does it use Stike Ranks? Skill categories? The resistance table? Any system innovation worth mentioning? How does rune magic work? Cheers!

Last time I heard something about this new edition it was to be definitely more like RQG than CoC - which makes sense to me. It's true that the previous edition had a split personality - half BRP/RQ3 with Strike Ranks and all, half CoC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a bit pressed for time at the moment, but will try to get back to answering this with more detail. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
