Aren't you the one that elsewhere said the 4th edition rules were a mess? Which way did you change your mind, for or against?

I haven't been able to buy any RuneQuest, Traveller, Paranoia, etc, products so far without going online or special ordering through my FLGS. I think it's for two reasons: 1) A lot of shops have difficulty stocking anything they can't sell quickly, so if it isn't d20, it's usually not stocked...

Mine was homebrew. It worked pretty well, but the setting was originally intended for D&D. So, there were times when the gritty low fantasy didn't work so well. All in all, it was cool, but I need to revamp my world/game slightly.

yeah, that's where I live. Everyone plays DnD or GURPS. Getting people to try other things isn't easy. Funnily enough, my players are all international - my wife's British and the other two are French. So, no luck yet converting. That said, I'm not actively trying to demo it either. Maybe...

Good point, Nick. I suppose it really doesn't matter whether the creatures are Gloranthan or Neptunian, they're creatures that can be stuck into any given campaign with a bit of creative twisting (in the case of mythical background). I wasn't sure because I'm not familiar with Glorantha. I...

I'll have to give it a look-see when I've got the coin.

Yeah, I didn't mean that quite so literally. Nobody in my area seems to know that it exists. I'm the only person at the meetups that runs/plays it (other than my own players, mind you) and I get asked about it in comparison to D&D. Thus, I don't find it on the shelves. I can get it online...

I have #1 and the latest to hit the shelves. The latest, I guess, is a 4th edition because it doesn't say anything about service pack 1 anywhere on the cover. It just says PARANOIA, with the typical picture of the smoking shoes and horrified troubleshooters. It's brand new though, paperback...

Similar question - does Monsters II offer much for people using MRQ in the generic sense?

I dig the game, even with its little idiosyncrasies. I think in some ways MRQ is suffering the 1st edition blues many games have, where things aren't perfect and you benefit greatly from player input. I would imagine there will eventually be a MRQ 2.0 which will be seamlessly integrated, new...

Same here. Looks like they're on the way to us, anyway. I'm in NC, myself. However, MRQ doesn't seem to exist here (I'm the only person I know of among the gamers in this area, not that I know everyone, who runs a game - I'd love to be demoing it!), so I don't have anything to gage it by...

I'm really looking forward to my copy. My campaign's been on hold recently anyway, but I don't want my hardback to suffer much more damage. Pages finally started to come loose from the binding a couple of sessions back. I know they started shipping this month, so I'm hoping mine shows up soon...

So if a tofu turkey is a tofurkey, what's a tofu duck?

more readable how? inquiring minds wanna know. i'm still waiting for my replacement, so this sounds promising.
