Sorry if this has already been touched on - which seem likely. I was wondering what scenarios might work as good character/plot lead ins to the Deepnight Revelation Campaign. I'm also up for any advice on supplements that might make a big difference to running and adding relevant depth to the story.

Duncan has done a good job of summing up. If you want to really get into it you can pick from 2nd +/or 3rd Age material. The Mongoose 2nd Age later edition material is extremely well done (Well apart from a few minor map gripes and the fact that Races of Gloratha 2 never appeared. Damn shame)...

Intriguing. Literally I suspect.

As is often the case it all comes down to personal preference. My campaign's be going for decades and has a pretty deep background as a result. 'Fluff', as setting detail seems to be increasingly disparagingly referred, to me is often what much of a game is about. The storytelling atmosphere and...

Just to add to the above I went on to treat Grimoires as learning and research texts, not merely lists of spells. I like the idea of sorcerers as scholars and lab experimenters. So in addition to a 5 spell maximum Grimoires had to contain related spells and include lore and learning too. This...

Couldn't Mongoose make a buck or two out of this? Just tidy it up, add some more careers, get it looking all professional and make it available for 1 or 2 quid a pop on the site. Just a thought. I'm sure the same wouldn't hurt for Legend.

You won't be disappointed.

We play the GURPs incarnation where the rebellion and assassination don't occur and the 5th Frontier war is behind us. Well they haven't occurred yet at any rate. It works well because it kind of 'clears the air' with regard to expectations (Sure there is the 1248 stuff but you can pretty much...

Possibly the simplest thing to do, as in RQ3, is to simply not have it available as a spell. Mind you POW and Magaic Points worked a little differently.

Pretty! All you have to do now is the entire Marches so that I can empty the cartridges on my printer!

Sounds way too expensive. Maybe they could licence some fans or come up with their own. Would encourage people into the game after all. A link on the Mongoose site - adjacent to the game itself perhaps might be a wee marketing ploy. I can see how such a tool might come in handy. Not a big...

I seem to remember another big advantage of the Crusader sword over the nice sharp scimitar was the fact that it was a double edged blade which gave it more combat options. A lot more to it than the fictional folk tale of Richard the Lionheart meeting Saladin (Saladin throwa length of silk into...

This thread has just conjured up visions of a Runequest/legens antiques roadshow! 'Ah...this does look very much like the original Windsword but if you closely examine the runes engraved on the pommel...hmm...I'd have it insured for...'

Simulacrum. Write ups of these NPCs would be interesting. What would be particularly useful though would be lieutenants, agents and sympathisers who could establish connections between characters and the big time movers and shakers. Such people also tend to be good representatives of their...

Daxos 232. The documentary was on Channel 4 in the UK, last week I think. It is a series that examines ancient corpses forensically to piece together their last moments or gain insights into their lives. This one was about the Crusaders. Called 'Back From the Dead' or somesuch. A bit of a...
