This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: RPGPundit;1034583So the ad above says almost nothing about what the system will be like.

The system is core Mythras - you'll be familiar with it Pundit; 'Riders of R'lyeh' uses a great deal of Mythras's rules, and copies its structure quite closely in some areas. There will be considerable tweaks for magic, cultures, skills and so on, but the underlying engine is the Mythras d100 engine.

And as Trechiron says, you can download Imperative to see the kernel of it for free.

Quote from: Hermes Serpent;1034679I suspect it's either because it's Shawn or he's confused TDM with someone who gives a fuck about US politics.

I seem to recall Shawn took exception to one of the supporting videos we did for our RQ6 hardcover Indiegogo campaign a few years ago. In a very light-hearted video, where we had a selection of historical figures supposedly endorsing the game, we also had a selection of well known figures that we didn't want endorsing RQ. One of them was Sarah Palin. Another was Justin Bieber. This obviously qualifies us as being completely anti-American (and, presumably, anti-Canadian, too, despite the fact I live in Canada). So there you have it. Of course, I'd be very interested in seeing the copious amounts of anti-American hate speech we're guilty of, so I'm looking forward to the examples Shawn can no doubt provide.

Mythras is Runequest with the skill list gutted, unecessary complication added to the combat system along with D&D style initiative and saving rolls.

In the eye of the beholder I guess. It is different and more detailed than old RQ.

Obviously you have never played proper Runequest or your a stupid twat. Runequest has strike ranks not rolled initiative and resistances are characteristics and do not increase by experience, as they do in Mythras and the rules that spawned it, which means they act just like saving rolls in D&D.

Really loved RQ6 and I am told that it is nearly identical to Mythras, so this could be interesting.:)

Mythras is RQ6 with minor revisions and clarifications, but mostly just a revised layout and change in font due to complaints about readability that varied from person to person (the ligatures in the original font caused some people to have issues reading the text). The layout and font changes altered the book from 458 pages down to 306 pages. Animism had some material clarified, but that was the only major change to any text.

Is it worth buying Mythras if I have RQ6 or is there an errata? Much appreciate any answer.:)

  Probably not, but if you're interested in some of the supplements, you can get a good deal on a package now at the Bundle of Holding
