Ahti2 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Hi! I'm working in a time-traveleres scenario, and I'm looking extended rules about these two issues: - A system for various Martial Arts o similar fighting skills (karate, kung fu, boxing...) - A list of historical diseases (bunonic plague, yellow fever, tiphus, etc) I'll use specifically the Mythras rules, but all other d100 rules (MRQ, Legend, Openquest, BRP, Chaosium's RQ, Call of Cthulhu, etc.) are welcome. The BRP Golden Book contains a good section of grappling effects, but I need more detail and a specific fighting style (i.e. Greco-Roman wrestling) I know some examples of deseases from Mythic Rome (Mythras), and the core book of the spanish RPG "Aquelarre". I've been informed of some examples in "Merry England" too. Do you know a supplement book, a section of a core book, with these kind of rules? Thank you.

10baseT Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 You can get the Call of Cthulhu supplement Secrets of Kenya pdf from Chaosium. Besides being a good read, there's 2.5 pages of diseases like malaria, dysentery, hepatitis, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mjollnir Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 I have a supplement for Mythras on this very topic that I need to complete. I'll try to get it uploaded before the end of the month. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarence Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Oh, that's nice. I've been reading quite a lot on the history of medicine lately and it's fascinating how many strange diseases there are, but also humanity's ability to make them worse with treatment. (Blood letting comes to mind, but that's actually one of the medieval practices that a doctor's used on me some years ago).

Merrie England:Robyn Hode for Revolution d100 has a number of real life diseases, notable for being able to die from diarrhoea. What I did for those was to take a disease, break it down to its symptoms and then map them back to the RD100 rules. It seemed to work well. The same approach could be used with pretty much any disease, although you might need to add some new symptoms. 1 Quote Simon Phipp - Caldmore Chameleon - Wallowing in my elitism since 1982.

Actually, that's still a 21st.C issue, by way of dehydration. If the body systems are so messed up that the bowels are filling with water (and emptying) it can be tough to keep hydrated; and homeostasis gets compromised (which can quickly become fatal). I have had a couple of doctors express worry over the years, about a couple of family members whose flu-like symptoms might have gone that direction... So, yeah. Disgusting as it is ...

GianniVacca Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I used the Powers from the BGB to model Martial Arts in The Celestial Empire. No need to always invent new rules. 1 Quote 「天朝大國」，https://rpggeek.com/rpgitem/92874/celestial-empire 很有意思: http://celestialempire.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zit Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 The Revolution D100 rules use Traits. The Martial art is a Trait which allows a list of stunts, each one being a Trait as well. Pretty easy. 1 Quote Wind on the Steppes, role playing among the steppe Nomads. The running campaign and the blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
