In various ways. For a start its obviously a percentage rather than a 1-20 value; its not limited to just loyalty, love, hate or fear; the bonus received for inspiration is much reduced; and so on.

Yes, Passions in RQ6 work very similarly to Pendragon, in that you can use them to inspire youself or guide you decision as to how to roleplay when faced with a particular issue. But you can also use them to substitute for other skills when resisting. If you are interested, the new RQ6 hardback...

I used to use Skype for gaming soon after I first moved to Sweden, but when Google Hangouts offered free video conferencing, two of the campaigns I play in swapped over immediately. Google Hangouts also has several dice rolling apps written for it if you don't trust your players, is...

There are some misconceptions arising in this thread, primarily because the nature and conventions of duelling changed according to culture and period. Firstly duelling was not just about honour. It was also used as an effective way of extorting wealth or leveraging political influence. This...

As I was employed by Mongoose at the time and preparing to convert the line over to MRQ2, I know exactly why the Conan licence was let go - sheer greed from Paradox Entertainment - who, inspired by the (then) in production movie, imagined that they could demand excessively more money. Despite a...

It goes back to the original works of myth or Sword & Sorcery literature where the wits, passions and skill of a protagonist were far more important than the MacGuffin they wielded. That is to say, in RuneQuest the strength of a hero is based upon who you are and what you know... not the magic...

It depends. The best source for creating MRQ2 magical items can be found in the MRQ2 supplement "Arms and Equipment" starting on page 96 onwards. However, there were alternative guidelines presented in "Blood Magic" (or at least in the manuscript I submitted before it was butchered during...

Personally I don't normally bother with Characteristics (STR, CON etc) for a throwaway generic NPC. I will give them Attributes however, if it looks like they might need to fight. So for example. On Monday night, a new player decided to ambush a street beggar in the hopes of capturing him alive...

Well, we haven't published a book of generic NPCs as such. There are some in the back of RQ6 Monster Island, but they are intended as generic lizardmen or serpent folk. What might help you out more is the RQ Encounter Generator which can produce pages of NPCs (and print them out) once you...

Yep! I'm up here at the edge of the northern wastes. Its a nice place if you like snow, are not an 18 year old doing military service, and its isolation is great for writing. :gremsmile: So what can drdentista and myself do to help? (Sorry, my Swedish is terrible so I have to communicate in...

Well, I tend to use RQ6 myself nowadays, but since I co-wrote and deigned those previous versions I should be able to offer some insight. :gremwink:

Monster Island is now available for pre-orders from the Design Mechanism store (www.thedesignmechanism.com/products) Priced at $30, this is 296 pages of pure, fiendish Sword & sorcery goodness. A complete setting and bestiary written in tribute to Griffin Mountain, it is packed with years...

Don't worry, you have a while to save up! :gremwink:

Thanks for the answers everyone. I am now reassured that I should have the book illustrated in a manner faithful to the period. Fortunately I have a particular artist in mind for such historically accurate work.

Forgive me for asking, but what does "PK klädstil" translate to in English? I'll be working on a Mycenaean Greece supplement later in the year, which will touch upon Minoan culture, so I'm interested in what level of puritanism exists in Swedish RPG circles. Although it will little impact my...

Sorry about that. Unfortunately the Milieu categories are necessarily very coarse, having to cover a lot of history across multiple cultures, so its a one-size fits all solution. I hope it won't annoy you too much. In the meantime you might like to look at my MRQ2 Vikings book? That should...

I have no idea why SF Bokhandlen isn't stocking it, but if you send me a private mail at pete.nash@ymail.com I'll see if we can arrange a direct sale to you.

Yes, 2013 for Mythic Greece and Mythic Britain. I have no idea when Mythic Byzantium will be finished.

Sadly, it might be quite a wait. I've got a lot of other material I need to write in the pipeline! :gremwink:

I'll ask him about it at the next session...
