PDF problem is fixed. I spoke with the good folks at Drivethru RPG and got a new one, works fine now. Still it would be good to be able to get the sheet separately, as we can the map. Speaking of the map: no, I don't think Americans ever get "chuffed." :)

Had you thought about using Common "Magic" as a talent, secrets or craft rather than genuine magic? For example, Bandit's Cloak means you are especially stealthy; Beast Call means you are somehow in tune with wild creatures; Befuddle gives you a gift of the gab that confuses your foes...

Agree to the wow. I picked up the pdf version and have to say this is the best campaign setting I have ever seen, period. I very much like the ancient world/sword-and-sorcery feel. Plus the map is yards better than any I have ever looked at, Glorantha and Greyhawk included. This is my campaign...

No no no--- a "ton" (or "tonne") in shipping is a measure of volume, not weight. (Supposedly it is from the weight of displaced water or number of "tuns" of wine the ship could carry, or some such thing.) Tonnage measurements vary widely but usually 1 ton = 1 to 1.5 meters cubed. I've no idea...

Only thing I know is from Cults of Glorantha vol. 2, pp. 31-35. Old rules, and probably soon to be superseded by the new CoG book, but there it is.

Before we all get up into our re-enactor/armchair historian mode... the SR penalty rule is only there to provide some sort of reasonable consequence for the wearing of armor, and to make the consequence higher for better-protective armor, in some sort of linear and predictable fashion. That's...

I don't think this is how the rule was intended. On the same page you quote, it says "To use a spirit, the magician must first call it forth" (emphasis added). That seems to mean that the spirit is not able to come out of its fetish unless it is deliberately called forth, or the maximum...

I absolutely agree with this. One of the best fighters in our current group has only 2 CAs but usually does just fine. He has a very high STR and DM and can often end a fight before it even gets to the 3rd Combat Action... :) I also agree to play RAW for a while until you see how it works...

Thanks so much for this! A great timesaver. :)

GameHermit, to answer your question, RuneQuest II from Mongoose is indeed "the latest and greatest" version of the game. All you actually need is the Core Rulebook. Get a handle on Character Creation, Game System, Combat and Common Magic and you're ready to run a game. I don't suggest you...

If things are happy and cooperative among Greg, Mongoose and D101 I am happy to be corrected and I will not believe rumors to the contrary. I have not been aware of Moon Design and I believe I shall look into their products. Thanks again for the correction.

Thanks for the info. Stinks that people can profit from someone else's hard work because it's OGL, yet all the great old OOP RQ stuff from the early years is locked down so no one can legally use it. :( (I would love to see MRQII versions of Griffin Mountain & Snake Pipe Hollow... by Loz...

:lol: Be my guest! And yes, ThatGuy, if we can get the accompanying animation I'd be verrrry happy...

So the material from "Magic of the Young Kingdoms" will be part of the first Elric release for MRQII, but most of the cults from the MRQI Elric core book will be edited into Cults of the Young Kingdoms? If so, you have a customer right here for both products. I always thought MOTYK was one of...

Sorry, didn't realize that was the confusion. I believe Deleriad's explanation is completely 100% correct.
