Cursed or not, I'm getting it. :)

I've had time to present this Wracking situation to my regular group over Halloween, here is our conclusion. We're going to use the Cover and Firing into a Crowd rules. So if a covered location is struck the spell fails. If cover happens to be a bystander like that poor old horse, it/he/she my...

I like the idea of friendly fire here. I'm kind of afraid it could make things complicated but I can see some potential for wickedness. :)

Yeah, I noticed that. I think you could use the Cover rules just fine. I'd probably stick to the Evade resist just to keep it simple. Maybe give a bonus for partial Cover.

I don't think it really matters how big the projectile, bolt, tendril or whatever is. You could use Evade to avoid magic if you want, the Wrack spell in RQ6 does.

I've run Against the Cult of the Reptile God with legend, but that is a low level AD&D module largely focused on investigation. As far as power creep, just avoid using expansions/supplements and stick to the feats and powers found in the core book. If you're interested, the...

Sounds good. If Mongoose doesn't want to bite I've been thinking about running a Pathfinder game. :)

In the US a follow-up and a sequel are synonymous. Do you mean it's more of a stand alone adventure, set in the same world?

I haven't seen the Song of the Beast Gods. It would appear to be a sequel to The Spider God's Bride. Definitely a must have.

Huzzah!

Now that the wait is near over it would be nice to see Braten's other work Ancient Kingdoms: Mesopotamia in print for Legend.

I'm reminded of the Isle of Dread, The Lost City and Master of the Desert Nomads. The Republic of Darokin. Sandbox wilderness settings. Didn't someone here publish a list of sites with old AD&D/D&D modules modified for BRP/RuneQuest rules?

Good news!

While intrigue stands among a number of setting ingredients that appear in our games I've never had the desire to make it the focus of a campaign. However, I was involved in a D&D game in the late 80s set in The Principalities of Glantri that developed a heavy focus on intrigues, spy games and...
