Oh, I know that fantasy and Glorantha are the staples that brought us here together, but if you are interested in a sci-fi game, I'm running one based on the infinity wargame by corvus belli (adaptation is by Modiphius). Let me know if you'd like to play.

In reply to Amara Brightsky (msg # 83):

Thanks for the invite, Amara.  Despite what I wrote above, I'm tempted  :P
It was nice to be part of a PBP game.  But at the moment I don't feel I have time to learn a new rules system...

It has been good being part of this, sadly looks like its not coming back to a live game or at least no time soon.

I tend to be more easily found at RPG.net where I post as Monster Mash.

I am lucky in liking old school D&D games as well as RQ as I can usually play in a couple of those online, but having a job finding another RQ game at the moment.

I'm in one other RPOL RQ(G) game, but it's also been on pause for a month so now.

YE GODS, is this old den of rapscallions still kicking about?!?

I gave up PbP almost overnight about a year ago, not that I'd been prolific in recent years in any case. I just lost my mojo. But once in every red moon something stirs the soul - an accidental PM on Dragonsfoot that was deleted, but remained in my inbox; my best mate buying Gloomhaven which we played for the first time last week; one of Melock's many FB funnies (yes I'm on there too, I can find some of you)...

The road goes ever on, as someone once said, though in Prax it usually leads to an ambush. Here's hoping Malia's latest trick doesn't bite you in the ass too hard, and happy hunting.

Hi folks. Hope you are all keeping well and safe.

If anyone is still checking here and interested in another Prax game, then there is one about to start (RQ Glorantha rules).

If interested check it out here link to another game and mention Mabwe pointed you the way :)

You'll find Norajia somewhat familiar too. Still obsessed with Harmony and Truth, but somewhat taller

Thanks for the tip, Ohanzee/Mabwe, I'll check it out  :)

Getting on for a year, but at least I've been in touch with Hoskar and always see Melock around FB. How is everyone else?

Fine thanks, I'm playing one other RQ game online (on RPol with Ohanze and Kobal). I've almost stopped looking at Facebook though.

My mum was in hospital just after christmas with a badly broken arm, but I hope she's on the mend now. She packed me off to my own place yesterday to pick up my cenus form and arrange my Covid shot. I'm going to pop back at the weekend and do some bulk shopping for her.

I hope everybody else is doing OK

Things are ok here, especially now the boys are back at school! Had my first covid vaccine jab last week, been working at home for exactly 1 year. Getting my RQ fix in a game on here and over on rpg geek, but still miss this one.

Hey everybody!  I’m back around!

Considering starting up a new game on here with the Mythras stuff.

Also got my first vaccine jab today. Not too bad. Hopefully not too much longer and we are out of the Covid woods, at least for the moment.

i'm well. it's good to see I'm not the only one who still gets updates from this game :)

I'm fine.  Not sure when I'm eligible for a COVID vaccine shot.  The rollout of vaccines started just a few weeks ago and now the EU is restricting export of vaccines (including to Australia)...  :P  But I'm lucky that I live in Western Australia, where there has been very little incidence of COVID-19 (though small businesses suffered due to restrictions for several months in early 2020 to stop any outbreak).  Perth was in lockdown for 1 week earlier this year because 1 case of community transmission was found.  No further community transmission since.

As Temush mentioned, I've been playing another RQ game here (but RQ Glorantha rules) with some others from this game.

I've always tried to avoid social media like facebook, sorry.



What setting will your Mythras game be, Akala?

I'm getting my first COVID jab this weekend. And FB/social media is garbage - mine is full of gaming (Runequest news appears regularly), film and history feeds. I'm not sure anyone posts any actual information there, other than attention whores. I check it once daily and that's it.

Still have a few games going on here, do miss this one.

Homebrew, kinda inspired by Glorantha, Conan, GoT (less so), and other fantasy backdrops. Heavy on the culture stuff.

Slavery has just been abolished (in the last 20 years) and the heroes are the first generation born “free.”
But something is wrong, and it seems like someone isn’t honoring the treaties.
The party has been asked by the Emperor to help find out what’s going on.
The threat is greater than anyone could have imagined, humanity’s worst sins transformed into its worst nightmares

Or something like that.

It’s a reimagining of an arc I had in mind in a game I ran before, and I’m going to use a variant name “Branneron’s Stone Guard” (the first was “Branneron’s Black Guard”)

It would be a mix of a bunch of scenarios, a lot of them published. A lot of the “Book of Quests” stuff, Monster AND Griffin Island, as culture and source material, and other stuff I’ve bought along the way.  Possibly some Constantinople/Cities stuff down the road. All peppered into an overall arc I have in mind.

If folks are interested, I can invite people when it’s built out more and ready to run.

Yes, I do miss this Three Feathered Rivals game.  I'd been away from RPGs for a long time until I joined this game.



Yes, let us know when you're ready.  I have the Runequest 6 rules by Design Mechanism, but have never played it.  I assume Mythras is just a change of name.

Glad to see folks are well. It's been an age...or feels like one now. Afraid I'm currently rushed off my gourd at work (lockdown's been a tough old time for the students) and when not at work things are a mite fraught too so I'm in no position to commit to games at the moment. Drattit. Wish it was otherwise. These both sound fun. All's okay with the Better Half, I hasten to add, but "family stuff" more generally plus a friend defending against legal shenannigins.

Still, at least I got a dose of Pfizer in the arm a few weeks back, so here's to kicking Mallia right up her bony old behind.

Keep safe, one and all.

Hi All

Missed the flurry of updates when they came last week.

I'm still playing in a few online games over at RPG.net mostly Old School D&D clones, though one is Stars Without Number which is an SF game.

I'd be interested in some RQ gaming.

Not a big social media user on FB, though I use other things like twitter a bit.

Been working remotely for the last year with not too many gaps between contracts. Had my first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine a couple of weeks ago and hoping the vaccination programmes really start to pay off.

The guy Ohanze, Kobal and I have been playing with is running a link to another game (as in Ohanze's post above) we have four regulars and a Greek guy who is joining for a 'bonus' uber-scorpionman' hunt. He's talking about a follow on scenario either with the same or fresh characters.

Hello all!

I am going to start taking Players for my new game.

I don’t want to take on too many players (it makes GMing on RPOL much more difficult in my experience), so I’m trying to keep it to 4-5 players.

I’m also going to try to (at least) start with a bang, and a fast posting rate (3-4 times per week), which may calm down after the initial adventure or 3. So if frequent posting isn’t possible, it may not be the game for you. I am always open to letting folks be added lurkers and readers, so if you’d like that, we can do it.

I’m using the Mythras system- a branch of the RQ tree, and as such should be easy for everyone Familiar with this system to pick up. There are some modern gaming wrinkles added to the system though, so it’s probably worth picking up and checking out if you want to join up.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful week.

Here’s the game!

Any time I pick up something RQ related, even if its reading some of my really old RQ2 stuff, I come back here. Good to see a few others have poked their feathers in too.

In reply to Salen Dustchaser (msg # 104):

Hi Salen, good to hear from you. Are you managing to play much RQ?

Zilch, zero, none. And the games that do appear here all appear to be RQ3, which is just okay. I haven't looked for any RQG anywhere. Starting dedicated nights with two friends last year playing boardgames (and eventually OSR D&D) but have yet to get back into it this year.

You? I do see you and Hoskar appear any time something RQ-related pops up on FB!

In reply to Salen Dustchaser (msg # 106):

no, I haven't even got a local gaming group. i get my rpg fix at the Kraken gaming convention a couple of times a year, though it's mainly Call of Cthulhu. I'm building Apple Lane and Snake Pipe Hollow in Unreal Engine and posting videos on YouTube
