Wow, I gotta make sure I get that campaign book when it's out in print. It's good to know that the line is being continued. Looking forward to it. Thanks.

Thank you very much, Loz. I just wanted to make sure I got it right. By the way, one of my new players from last night asked me right away how she could play a Miko -- commonly translated as a Shinto shrine maiden, or shrine guardian. They are very widespread in anime and manga. I flipped the...

Hi there. Last night I found a group to play RQ Land of the Samurai with, something I've planned to do for a long time. My other RQ group plays on a medieval fantasy world we created ourselves, and my players from that group currently have no interest in Japan, Samurai, Buddhism, and all that...

While I've needed some time to really get to appreciate the new MRQ, I agree with you here. Having an "endless" series of attack - parry - counterattack - parry was a recurring thing in RQ3, as well as in Stormbringer, Elric!, and other iterations of the rules engine. Since my gaming style has...

Thanks a lot, Loz. That really clears up all the doubts I had (slight as they have been). I'm definitely looking forward to running this soon. One of the player-characters, a Sohei by profession, even took both the Tendai and Shingon schools of Theology, because his class got the Theology...

A very good idea for a starting point. Next time we meet, I'll have to make sure that I tell my players that they cannot simply sell an heirloom for cash in the game, as there is honor at stake. Thanks for the answers.

Blades for everyone, I decree! :twisted: I'm just not sure whether that particular player is going to be spending much time fighting or training with a deadly weapon.

That is a logical conclusion, but I still had to look it up. I'm almost sure it is explained that way at the beginning of the Land of the Samurai book, but I couldn't tell you right now which page it is on.

Hello there, I put three of my regular RQ players through character generation for Land of the Samurai yesterday. While doing so, I noticed the following things which may be slight weaknesses of that book and made me want to ask for further info on this forum. I read that Lawrence (Loz) is...

All right. The SRD is good in this regard. I have to copy that or jot it down some time. I like the progression now. My guess was just off the mark. It would have been funny, for example, if a character with a STR+SIZ total at 115 suddenly did LESS damage regularly than a character with a...

Hi there. Ah, Macho Women With Guns, what a fun beer & pretzels game - if only you have a group of players who get the jokes. I have two of the earlier incarnations of that game, from 1989 and early 1990s. It originally used a roll-low D20 mechanic, and IIRC the second edition had a 3D6 system...

Hello. I had a look again at the Damage Modifier Table and I'm wondering how it should progress beyond a sum of STR+SIZ that is more than 100. The table in the rulebook stops there. All right, I know that I probably will never need this for human player-characters, but it might matter for...

Oh, I've thought of that. I was going to do that, write it all down properly at some point, but right now I don't have a good reason to do so, because my campaign is not heavily focused on martial arts, or even on fighting in general. I want to differentiate between kicks, punches, nerve...

Maybe so. I haven't thought much about that one, yet. I imagined some karate or kung-fu styles as Advanced Skills, that is all. Martial arts could overlap with Unarmed (brawling, boxing, streetfighting), of course.

Sure. Please go ahead and do that. You've got my approval. Since I will be playing with the MRQ rules for quite some time to come, it'll make sense to create an account over there. Thanks.
