nclarke Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I think I'm correct in saying Openquest 1 is based on the MRQI SRD, Openquest 2 is a modified version of OQ1. Legend is based on MRQII with all the Glorantha stripped out. Quote Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooley1chris Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Magic World has all of my outstanding materials supporting it! Just kidding. Do NOT base your choice on my submissions! LOL.

Spellslinging Sellsword Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 OpenQuest and Magic World use general hit points and major wounds. Legend uses hit locations. OpenQuest and Legend use characteristics as starting points for base skill. Magic World assigns a static base number. OpenQuest and Legend use 4 levels of success. Magic World uses 5 levels of success. OpenQuest and Legend have divine magic, sorcery, and common (battle) magic. Magic World uses just Sorcery. OpenQuest uses 3 categories for combat skills. Legend and Magic World tend to be by weapon although both can do weapon groups/styles. OpenQuest groups skills into Resistances, Combat, Knowledge, and Practical. Legend groups skills into Common and Advanced. Magic World groups skills into Physical, Communication, Knowledge, Manipulation, and Perception. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fmitchell Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 OpenQuest and Legend have divine magic, sorcery, and common (battle) magic. Magic World uses just Sorcery. Although to increase the confusion, Magic World Sorcery is mechanically more similar to OpenQuest Battle Magic and Legend Common Magic than those systems' "Sorcery".

Rich Tom Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 I think I'm correct in saying Openquest 1 is based on the MRQI SRD, Openquest 2 is a modified version of OQ1. Legend is based on MRQII with all the Glorantha stripped out.Added to that MW is closer to BRP and based on chaosium's Elric RPG with the moorcockian references taken out..

threedeesix Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 While we're on the subject, I would like to point out that if you have any interest in Legend at all, skip it and download the "free" PDF of RuneQuest Essentials. It is written by the same two awesome writers and is an improvement over Legend in several areas IMHO. It can be downloaded from...http://www.thedesignmechanism.com/downloads.phpIt is "crunchier" than either OpenQuest or Magic World, but no more so than Legend.Rod Quote Join my Mythras/RuneQuest 6: Classic Fantasy Yahoo Group at https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/RQCF/info "D100 - Exactly 5 times better than D20" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newt Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Hmmn the easiest way to check it out for yourself is via the free versions which for the sake of completeness I list in this blog post over at my Sorcerer Under Mountain blog :Free D100 Games 1 Quote Head Honcho of D101 GamesPublisher of Crypts and Things/Monkey/OpenQuest/River of HeavenThe Sorcerer Under the Mountain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
