I have been toying with the idea of a sword and sorcery setting for RQ2. I want all magic to be sorcery simular to what is in the core book which in and of itself seems simple enough. However, I want to have reasons for all these sorceror's sacrificing captives - anyone ever came up a system...

Amazon.com! They were both preorders. Told me, via email, that they couldn't get the books at all.

I ordered both Vikings and the new Elric book from Amazon both as preorders. In fact they solicited me as I bought both the second edition and the Monster Collesium through Amazon. It is now months later, and they have cancelled both orders on me because they "can't get them!" Which really...

Amen to that! Sorry, I bought the Golrantha book and, while it is wonderfully written, it is just not my cup of tea. Let me add, though, I am really happy for all the fans of the setting that it is getting such obviously loving support! I really like the historicals and more general...

It is a theory/philosophy from the business world. (at least that is where I heard it first) Imagine a triangle with each side being Cheap, Fast, and Good. It is impossible to have all three things - doing two invariably costs the third. Ideally you seek a ballance point in middle of...

I won't fight you on that except to say r.a.w. say you can. :) They do not, however, give any guidance on how one hand styles interact with the weapon and shield styles. It seems it would be easier just to make a ruling on what is not written than to change what already is written into the...

Granted and understood that they are two seperate "styles" of combat. But - under the r.a.w. - if you have sword and shield style and go into combat w/o the shield you still know how to fight with just a sword. You just loose the extra action and use of shield against ranged attacks - your...

I am probably going to be called a few choice names for this but I have a question on the weapon styles. Cultural weapon civilised - sword and shield. Now my profession Noble - 1h sword??? Ok, how does it work now?? Two seperate skills 1 sword and 1 for shield? Bonus to both? I understand...

Continuing with Edric. In his character creation, the players could choose either nomad or barbarian background. According to the text they all choose barbarian. As a cultural weapon - Edric take sling. Sling is not a weapon under the barbarian cultural skills, though it is under nomad...

Not only is that rowboat slow, Amazon says that the only Runequest Deluxe edition is from Avalon Hill and very out of print!! :evil:

Has anyone tried runing Harn with MRQ? If so, how does it port? It seems like it would be a good fit looking at the SRD? (I am waiting for Runequest Deluxe to buy in) Anyone who knows about Harn's magic - does MRQ have something simular?

I am an Assistant District Attorney prosecuting crimes against children. In essence, for all the Law and Order fans out there - I am the prosecutor for the SVU.

Well, avoiding your quoting Howard on my ass, how many times do we have Conan starting a story waking up in a cell after having been beaten down by guards, soldiers, enemies, etc.? How does someone get taken prisoner or take prisoners when you have a feat that totally negates the only form of...

As others have noticed - DR is not a penalty so that really should not apply to damage reduced by armor. Big arguement insued where some were doing 1 pt. actual damage or 1 pt. subdual and others went with the rule as written. The actual interpretation is still out until we see the Atlantean...

I have seen the FAQ and my reading is the same as Murte in that you can spend you INT bonus skills on a one for one basis on all skills just like class skills - but you are limited to the cross class and class skill max ranks or 4 and 2 respectively for first level characters. If given the...
