I am just not sure there is something that needs to be fixed. Say you play in a minor Basketball league and you train really hard to improve. Well at one point you become so good that playing in such league becomes boring and you move up to greater challenges. That's not broken math, that's...

I also abandoned the CA idea. People here seem in love with it, but my group kinda hates it. I guess people who say it's all semantics have a point, but it's still too cumbersome for us to use. As I posted way back when there are also balancing issues where a mage can wield 2 swords and have a...

In Glorantha Dwarves are born fully formed. They never age. They never die. Barring openhandism and trolls, of 'course.

I stockpiled manuals, but still haven't found anybody to play with. It would also be a good way to explore skype as a way of roleplaying!

Any news on the online version?

Sorry, this is confusing me. So a spell that hits 2 people in a 20 meter range costs the same MP as a spell that hits 100 people over 10km? (it's always just 2 manipulations)

If you are running Linux or Mac you probably don't need anything as Java is already in. If you are running windows, then you do need to install Java. The process is very simple and explained clearly here: http://www.java.com/en/download/help/download_options.xml Once everything is set up you...

Hello I've been working on a very simple Java NPC generator and I wanted to share it. For now it is extremely incomplete: CA and Magic aren't generated (mostly because my group don't use them). I also plan on adding more stuff if there is a demand for it. As a disclaimer, I'm a terrible...

With so many moving parts, I doubt any systems would work. I mean, many wargames have less units than that. On the other hand, we all know how cool adventures are when they end in a big rumble :p :P

A great book indeed

for what is worth, I've always been interested in playing online. If a good ruleset support exists for RQII, it might just as well convince me to buy a virtual tabletop

Thank you all. Yes, one could always house-rule this problem away, but I wanted to follow rules properly as much as possible. I think I'll just rule that the mage requires at least one hand empty to cast a spell.

If a person holds two weapons, or a weapon and a shield he gains a CA, right? But what if he is a mage? From a previous post it was clear that a mage can use any weapon and as long as his hands are not tied he can cast a spell. The problem is that holding a shield the mage now has an additional...

Thank you both. I guess we'll just have to try and see

Good. Does this mean also that while he is casting the sorcerer can't dodge, parry or evade in any way the attacks? I am just a bit afraid that if somebody wants to play the sorcerer he will feel a bit left out since most of the things he'll do during combat will be cast 1 spell and hope...
