Red Brick and FASA are now the same company. They will indeed be publishing a new edition of Blue Planet. Some other FASA and Red Brick properties are also slated to come back. Fading Suns, Blue Planet, Eartdawn, Demon World and something called 1879 according to their home page...

I would prefer that RuneQuest be setting specific. Each itteration of BRP/RQ has entailed many setting specific rules anyway and usually been published as its own complete game. Stormbringer, RuneQuest, Call of Cthulhu, Ring World, King Arthur Pendragon, Elric, Hawkmoon, etc. I do not like...

One of the great joys and frustrations of being an Eternal champion gamer is that Mike is a story teller, *not* a world builder. It is an intentional stylistic choice on his part that settings are described only in those details needed for the stories. This being the case, I think it unlikely...

Just to add a further possibility, it seems quite possible that Yrkoon did not mean "human" as strictly meaning "Human" ie "Mabden" to Corum, but rather that "human' is the closest rendering of the meaning in English, and that Yrkoon was actually saying "non-demonic, mortal being of flesh and...

Either an RPG or a miniatures game based on Gemmel would be fantastic. I don't see why Mongoose couldn't use RuneQuest as the engine. However, nothing would turn me off buying it faster than making it d20.

I just got home from vacation and found grandbretan waiting in the heap of mail. I suspect, especially given comments above and a local buddy who expressed an interest in "playing bad guys, and an assassin campaign" that some sort of intrigue among the beast masks is in order. More to follow...

I (finally) got a notification from Amazon that my Granbretan has shipped.

Dragon Lords contains pretty well the entire background from Stormbringer 5th ed. Nothing new, and nothing that isn't in Elric RQ or other editions of Stormbringer/Elric. the art is from a variety of editions, including some of the translated editions. Slaves of Fate is an excellent...

Why not a Dune RPG? Brian Herbert and Kevin J Anderson. they must be related to George Lucas somehow.

OK that makes 5 so far who have expressed interest. That should be enough to get started. Next question is Hawkmoon or Elric? I have both core books and the supplements on order. Also any general coments on the type of game you are interested in ie: Courtly intrigue, combat, sorcery and magic...

Rogue Mistress is an excellent adveture at any price if you want plane crossing epics for Moorcock style RPGing! The d20 Dragon Lords of melnibone was a great dissapointment to me. I wanted to like it, I really did. I ran it successfully and as an implementation of Elric in d20 rules it works...

Loz, I almost fell off my chair when I came across the four in the Hawkmoon book. It took me a moment, but as soon as I said the names aloud I got it. The Eggmen indeed... This gives me ideas for an adventure...

Much though I like hard covers, they look so sharp and may last a bit longer if well bound, I would actually prefer the option of soft covers for MRQ. Hard covers add expense and significant bulk to the books. A 96 page hard cover really should be a soft cover imho. As for mismatched tables...

In the Chaosium supplement "Shattered Isle" Sandy Peterson describes the Walruses as an all male Order of mounted scouts and skirmishers, famed for their gluttony.

I'm not saying I will.... but is there any interest in a play by e-mail or play by post MRQ game? It is most likely that I would run either Hawkmoon or Elric. Particulars of the campaign setting, scenario, characters etc to be determined by group concessus with GM veto power.
