The hangup was Licensing. MGP no longer holds the license, and even when they did the licensor held that it was only for ONE game system - since they used it for d20 then RQ was a no go. My purely between the lines speculation not to be taken as fact is this: When the new Conan movie was in the...

Yes indeed - I was the one holding a gun to his head. Though in all honestly I really just wanted to steal all of his Guinness. Forcing him to buy the MRQ books at gunpoint was just out of sheer cruelty. In hindsight forcing him to by MRQ2 to be cruel kinda backfired though. :?

Good Luck on your future projects (and life in general). Combat Maneuvers were the first major innovation added to BRP in a long time. RQ was always the most visceral, brutal, and evocative combat system in the BRP family, and you took it to the next level. And the fun too. Thanks for a great...

Ok, here is my go at this: Shuwaggan Shuwagga (sing. Shuwaggan) resemble large primates with long powerful arms and covered in white or grey fur. They are equally at home on the ground or swinging through the trees and are fiercely territorial. Shuwaggan have a curious behavior of keeping...

But POW gain was much easier in previous editions. Permanent POW sacrifice is a lot more 'expensive' in MRQ.

Hmm. Will we need to learn Grimoire(Abiding Book) before we can use it? :/

I think it would be tough now that actions/reactions in the same 'poo'l. If you go first and use all three actions you cannot defend yourself later in the round (and in MRQ2 not being able to defend yourself is really, really bad as any hit on you gains a CM). A player could choose NOT to use...

From Glorantha: the Second Age: "Dorastor was a sprawling land and centre of civilisation during the later centuries of the First Age. The First Council moved there to establish a new capital, from which to launch the God Project. After the birth of Nysalor a long, long war made it a foul...

Thanks! I've been busy lately but I hope to have some combat tracking sheets soon. Managing combats is much easier with good record keeping and I'm trying to come up with a couple of good sheets to help GM's.

I hate to pile on but the map of Versetad contains a Key, but the numbers that the key references are not printed on the map. Though really couldn't the key just say: 1. Smoldering Ruin 2. Smoldering Ruin etc.

I can't say for sure, but Cults of the Young Kindoms may require the Elric book for all the sorcery rules. Cults of Glorantha will reference the magic types in the RQII core book. Magic in the Young kingdoms is different than Glorantha, and so Cults of the Young Kingdom may reference rules in...

Don't believe him - he's obviously a troll! :twisted: Sorry, I don't have it yet, so I can't say with any certainty. At 280 pages and the higher word count per page of the new books, it likely contains more material on trolls than the MRQ1 UZ book did, and the material should be a bit more...

MRQ2 Glorantha has additional information that the MRQ1 edition does not. It is 260 pages compared to 160 pages, and the type is smaller and they have done away with the huge, space wasting borders so the words per page is much higher, so I'd say there is about twice as much content to the MRQ2...

I was rolling up Ulerian Baboons...

I started playing in Glorantha back around 1981 with just the original Chaosium RQ2 book. We had very little backround to start with. As new supplements were purchased/released obviously some of our characters or game history was revealed to be 'wrong'. We just followed the new info moving...
