RosenMcStern Posted September 4, 2015 Author Share Posted September 4, 2015 @rsanford: 1. yes, and for hitpointless too 2. Bestiary... you have just given me an idea for a stretch goal 3. Multi-genre, with advanced combat more suited for medieval fantasyMecha is the only past supplement that will certainly be ported to Revolution. It will be packed with the rules in a stand-alone game. One of the reason why I am doing this is that not having the core rules in the book has greatly penalised Mecha in terms of diffusion among those who love mecha but do not know D100. It could compete with Mekton or Chris Perrin's Mecha but since those are self-contained games they outmatch it.The other games will be ported only if there is a really large demand. Whoever has the original should still be able to play it with revolution, so re-issuing a supplement might turn out to be an unnecessary effort. 2 Quote Proud member of the Evil CompetitionTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canis latrans popus Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 On the one hand, I'd hate to have to buy a whole new book, but on the other hand, I hate having to drag out my BGB to reference while working with Mecha. It really does warrant a self-contained game. 1 Quote My roleplaying blog: Axes and Orcs. Scramblings of anime, D&D, and RQ-derived games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORtrail Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 (edited) @rsanford: 1. yes, and for hitpointless too 2. Bestiary... you have just given me an idea for a stretch goal 3. Multi-genre, with advanced combat more suited for medieval fantasyYou guys have a solid track record and I'd be happy to support a Kickstarter. Please try to keep the stretch goals reasonable, as I hate to see promises of lots of supplemental books* that delay the main rulebook as you suddenly have to write an extra 75,000 words to fulfill stretch goals.Revolution D100 is an okay name, but I'm going to start calling it "R100" any minute now.  *Ignore this concern if you somehow manage a Jorune R100 book as a stretch goal. Or a Star Trek book. Or a Planet of Adventure (by Jack Vance) book. Or anything else that strikes me as worth a 6-12 month delay.  Edited September 5, 2015 by ORtrail 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claudius Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 I am surprised you didn't take this step before. So much going back and forth among MRQ1, BRP and RQ6, it seemed natural that you would come up with your own system, in order to not depend on licenses.I am very happy with BRP and MRQ2/RQ6 and in theory I don't need another 1d100 system, but on the other hand, your ad sounds very interesting. I like specially this part:QUOTEThe core is way lighter than Legend, almost as simple as OpenQuest (maybe actually simpler, in fact). And the advanced combat is crunchier than Legend. So no, it is not Legend-lite.UNQUOTEI have a request, please make your system be entirely compatible with BRP and RQ6.

RosenMcStern Posted September 9, 2015 Author Share Posted September 9, 2015 Okay folks, enough celebration. It is now time to plan the crowdfunding and to create the actual game!Let us all move to the Revolution forum, then. I have opened several threads there. Your feedback is needed, tell us what you want to see in the game and in the crowdfunding!A roadmap to the gamePOLL: Where to discuss the game?POLL: Revolution or Evolution?

GMB Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 This sounds like a great idea. I have not lost hope in finding the perfect universal system using d100. I'd like to submit a request: Make a version that uses imperial measurements. Miles, inches, yards etc...I don't like to convert and I live where this system is used.:-)Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nclarke Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Tough luck Bob, go back to Math class or use a calculator, perhaps even join the 21st century. Even NASA has managed to use metric units so it isn't rocket science. 1 Quote Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mankcam Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 I actually forgot that imperial is still used. Down here its only the oldies who remember a time before metric in the early '60s Quote " Sure it's fun, but it is also well known that a D20 roll and an AC is no match against a hefty swing of a D100% and a D20 Hit Location Table!"

Aelwyn Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 I'd recommend using abstract concepts like SIZ and MOV, as BRP does, and then provide tables for conversion to both imperial and metric, as well as a couple of fictional and historical systems from different settings.

Zit Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015  I don't like to convert and I live where this system is used.So do we all. That's my problem for example with the newest gloranthan material using the outdated local Imperial system Anyway, for a game addressing an international public, it makes definitely sense to use an international language (english) and an international measurement system (metric). 3 Quote Wind on the Steppes, role playing among the steppe Nomads.

RosenMcStern Posted September 21, 2015 Author Share Posted September 21, 2015 I'd recommend using abstract concepts like SIZ and MOVWe will do our best to follow this recommendation.Asking is always legit, but of all the companies that produce D100 rulesets, asking this of the only one based in a country which never used the Imperial system sounds at the very least... hopeless? 1 Quote Proud member of the Evil CompetitionTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camazotz Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Intriguing. Also gives me a bit of hope since I am sort of worried Chaosium plans to mitigate BRP in its library down the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Tar Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 It's the end of Sept. (at least here in the UK) but so far I've not seen any crowd funding info on this. But perhaps I missed it. Are you still on track? The system has me interested; I've been looking for some time for a system to base a Napolionics game on. A d100 system just seems to be the most appropriate to my mind. Quote 132/420 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simlasa Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 I have a request, please make your system be entirely compatible with BRP and RQ6. My interest hinges on that as well. So far I've loved all the Alephtar stuff... I'm all for options... "Advanced narrative rules that leverage character motivations." Meh... not sure what that is... but as long as it's optional, OK.
