[Rq-rules] Gaming Humour

[Thomas Zunder]

Hey, I feel the same. I look at the RQ3 on my shelves and I think 'I  
rarely run that, why buy a new and inferior edition'.
But that's not the same as saying it's awful in public when it's good  
enough and a far better game than d20.
At my FLGS I will run it (with my house mods such as dropping hit  
locations, hero points, leg.abilities) set in the world of Gwenthia  
so that the 18 and 19 year olds there pick up a BRP product from the  
shelf and the pool of d100 players grows. It's hard getting any game  
that isn't d20 starting there now because they all have just got so  
used to it. And these aren't D&D grognards, it's just that so much of  
what they play is d20, it's easier on the mind to play another. I  
want it to be easier for them to pick up d100 and play. I'd love to  
have had a ruleset that developed more directly from RQ3 but let's  
face it, would that have happened? Would we all be still having this  
discussion if RQ4 AIG had been the new ruleset?
