Tywyll Posted April 19, 2008 Author Share Posted April 19, 2008 Wouldn't you pay 30-odd quid for it? With the dollar as it is, that's the price including postage to order it direct off Chaosium - and you'd have it in two weeks. But there's less than a hundred Ed.Zero's left... Not when, hopefully, it will be out next month. If it were going to be a six month wait, then maybe. I'm impatient, but not that impatient.

Tywyll Posted April 19, 2008 Author Share Posted April 19, 2008 Ah, I believe I misunderstood the question a bit. The extra attacks for 100%+ weapon skills excepted, my understanding is there's few if any additional abilities that are unlocked by heroic skill levels. Personally, I don't want there to be anything beyond the pass/fail, but if you do, grafting in MRQ's heroic abilities is indeed probably your best bet. Out of curiosity, why not? Do you not allow multiple attacks for combat skills over 100% (which is essentially the exact same thing)? If we have a special (even if there is only one) in combat applications, why shouldn't non-combat applications also benefit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tywyll Posted April 19, 2008 Author Share Posted April 19, 2008 Mythic Russia is well worth getting, for the atmosphere, the streamlined HeroQuest rules, for the background and the look and feel. It's storytelling gaming but with a really hard edge to it and should appeal to all kinds of gamers. Is it published by Mongoose or someone else? Oops, I see you said Heroquest, not runequest.

TRose Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 I like the rule in MRQ where you get 1-5 skill improvement rolls per game . This prevent people from trying to use skills during a game just to get a skill improvement role . Will wait till I get book to make further comments but I do prefer a rather weaker magic system like that traditionally been in RQ to a more powerful one I have seen in Worlds of wonder.

RosenMcStern Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Is it published by Mongoose or someone else? Mythic Russia Homepage (Firebird) You can buy the book on Amazon. It is definitely worth having, whether you like HeroQuest or not. Quote Proud member of the Evil CompetitionTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not particularly fond of multiple attacks, but at least they don't add much in the way of additional mechanics.

TRose Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 One area where I do hope they are close together is in cost of basic equipment. MRQ now has a pretty large amount of supplements that list equipment now and would like to not have to go converting prices from one book to another.

Well, there shouldn't be any conflict at all! :innocent: Quote Britain has been infiltrated by soviet agents to the highest levels.
