A lot of Campaign Information describing the land around Sherwood Forest and major NPCs. New rules for Guardians, if you want a Herne the Hunter spirit as in Robin of Sherwood. New rules for contests of various kinds. Lots and lots of scenarios hooks. Adventurer Creation is now Revolution D100 style. The Land and the People, Nobles, Knights and the Crown, Trading and Adventuring and Religion and Magic are pretty much the same as Age of Chivalry and Age of Eleanor.  On 5/12/2017 at 2:42 AM, Vile said: Is there any content in the earlier incarnations which is not in ME:RH? Alchemy has been dropped, mainly because Wierd Science does a lot of alchemy, I might redo it in terms of Wierd Science in a Companion, if we do one. Astrology/Divination/Demonology/Enchanting/Medicine have been dropped, for similar reasons and would be better in a Companion or Arcane Arts supplement. Further Afield has been dropped, as we wanted to focus on England and Sherwood Forest. The Crusades have been dropped, as I want to include them in some other Supplement. The Afterlife has been dropped, as I want to include Heaven/Hell/Demons in another supplement, as above. The Whitlingthorpe Campaign has been dropped, as I wanted a Sherwood sandbox with a lot of scenario hooks rather than a series of scnearios,  Now, that might sound a lot of things to be dropped, but Merrie England:Robyn Hode has 40 pages of the Sherwod Campaign, which is over 20% of the supplement. Rather than squeezing things in just because they were there in previous versions, I would like to revisit them properly for Revolution D100, amending and expanding where possible.  Edited May 13, 2017 by soltakss 4 Quote Simon Phipp - Caldmore Chameleon - Wallowing in my elitism since 1982.

RosenMcStern Posted May 12, 2017 Author Share Posted May 12, 2017 The Whitlingthorpe campaign will resurface at some time, it is just a matter of seeing in what format. 1 Quote Proud member of the Evil CompetitionTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RosenMcStern Posted May 12, 2017 Author Share Posted May 12, 2017 You have archery contests (how can you run a Robyn Hode game without them?), music contests, tournements, wrestling contests. Anything you would insert in a well developed medieval campaign. All of them follow the RD100 contest template, but have their own peculiarities. After all, in a game with four different kinds of minstrel professions, you will really need a situation when your entertainer can shine. 2 Quote Proud member of the Evil CompetitionTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Four? Bard, Minstrel, Troubadour, Trouvere and Wayte off the top of my head, makes five. You can never have enough minstrelly people in a medieval supplement, otherwise Alan -a-Dale would feel lonely.  Quote Simon Phipp - Caldmore Chameleon - Wallowing in my elitism since 1982.
