Just reading through mine and I note that somebody has been watching Life of Brian!

"Jaguar Earlobes! Wolf's Nipples! Ocelot Spleen!"

It seems fair to say that in this case, yes there were major issues with MRQ1, and yes, a new edition was the cleanest way of resolving them (the alternative was a multitude of different rules scattered all over multiple supplements, which would have made people really unhappy). MRQ2 looks to be qui...

Was also debating whether to penalize some Psi powers judges who wear helmets given that most Psi Judges in the strip usually operate with their head exposed. Thoughts ? There was at least one that wore a turban at one stage. Plus we've got scenes of Anderson wearing a helmet in various stories, al...

Jon Brazer Enterprises wrote:If it is for publication, answer me this question: why should someone play this over D&D?

For much the same reason(s) as anyone would play any other fantasy game over D&D.

Anyway, I think this is a great idea and am certainly looking forward to seeing how it develops over time.

For some reason, I'm seeing a single city block collapsing into the Undercity for some reason - troggies, sewer gators, block-panic cits, maybe even a run in with werewolf Judge Prager? Not to mention tracking down whoever is responsible. Has to be a league of fatties convention in the area. Someth...

Not playtested, but I was thinking in terms of the "active defence" remark above, and it struck me that a shield should be something you can actually physically use . One way to model this under DW rules without bending things too much would be almost like an inverse berserk - sacrifice some Attack ...

I would introduce an attribute called Corruption - as per the old ICE ME card game. You would start with a small amount and become corrupted by power, magic, wealth etc. You would resist corruption through Persistence and different races would have modifiers to their check. E.g. Hobbits get +40% to...

Playing an elf in Middle-Earth is a bit like playing a Melnibonéan in Elric. However it should be easy enough to limit this race. In Lord of the Rings, Gandalf uses Hobbit because they're so small noone care about them, dwarves being too greedy and human too easily corruptible. I would introduce an...

The MERP modules (or at least the ones I bought back in the day), IMO, suffered a lot by the fairly heavy inclusion of dungeon crawls. Now, dungeon crawling is quintessentially Tolkien (Mines of Moria/Shelobs Lair/etc) but I mean D&D style dungeon crawls with rooms full of traps, monsters and treasu...

Nysalor, of course.

Arkat was just an opportunistic creep who wasn't ashamed to try find out exactly how low he would stoop to get his own way. "Oh boo-hoo, I don't like this new god. I know! I'll wreck half the world and make a mess of the mythic landscape for ages to come."

It's difficult to pin down exactly what Glorantha is as - as others have said - there are no real analogs or touchstones elsewhere. Best I can do is describe what it is to me : Rewind the clock to when your favourite stone/bronze age culture (Native American, Celtic, Ancient Greek, whatever) was pre...

Yeah, it's mentioned here for starters: http://www.glorantha.com/library/religi ... t-bat.html

("Taking out" the Crimson Bat isn't exactly a final end for it, by the way...)

The Elizabethan period is so wild, complex, and rich in possibility for gaming. You can simply sail off to China, discover unknown lands along the way, engage the ships of Spain as privateers, ect. London was/is nearly a world to itself! Impossible for me to think of that period without Blackadder ...

More info on Legend! More info on Legend! More info on Legend! More info on Legend! I would love to see a "Western Lands" expansion, based on real-world Native American culture. It's already been touched on in Mungoda Gold, so why not go all the way? I can imagine that those lands would be more easi...

I'd be a little concerned that current lines might get edged out in favour of Rebellion IPs. I know there are long term plans, but the nature of goalposts is that they move. A bit of extra muscle around the negotiating table when it comes to acquiring new IPs never does any harm, though. Right now I...

Handling stats is interesting - I'd lean towards keeping the same stats for Elves but adjusting the maximums. You can be a power gamer, but you've got to work for it. :D However, and I know this is different for everybody, but for me ME would be much better suited to and served by a more abstract sy...

Just a quickie Always ready for a quickie. :mrgreen: the SRD is pretty much complete, just needing a couple of small sections added. However, our editors are working round the clock (almost) at the moment, and we just need to squeeze it in. We are currently looking at 2-3 weeks. Nice one. Happier t...

Wheel of Time (a bit "meh" for me, but incredibly popular), Malazan Book of the Fallen (would rock) and Titan (the Fighting Fantasy world - would totally rock) all seem like strong contenders to me.

Preview's up. Somebody's been reading Bushido - I approve.
