Definitely. I can see elements of RQ3 and ElfQuest in it. The system is mostly RQ with a different damage system and more attributes. Even the skills breakdown and arrangement is similar to RQ3 skill categories with Phsycial, Communication, and Lore (Knowledge) skills.

Quite deadly combat system. Magic and spells were taken from real grimoires of the time and Spanish, Arab and Jew folklore provide all supernatural creatures and monsters in the book.

Sounds like the sort of thing that would really appeal to me...

.....do we have any Spanish speakers on board ?

Not only RQ, but yes, it is recognizable.

Jason,

as writer of the BRP book, what supplements would you like to see in the pipeline for BRP, if you had your own wishlist what would it be ?

Sprague de Camp, Fletcher Pratt, Leigh Brackett, Poul Anderson, I don't remember who all.

As some one who started out playing miniatures wargames befor I moved into fantasy games I can answer that. Fletcher Pratt's Naval Rules are consider a classic set for those who play naval miniatures wargames.
Another classic set of wargame miniature rules is Little Wars by H.G Wells, who I also believe wrote a few Science fiction stories.

You have one here. I remember playing many years ago and it was quite similar o runequest. I cannot give details since I don't own a copy of the rulebooks, but as far as I can remember it was d100 with a medieval/mythological spain background. Quite cool.

Hello Tweaker,

Kloster here.

I don't know what AgentOrange wants, but I'm very interested in knowing if Aquelarre is available in languages other than spanish (for me and Empeze, english, french or german).

Runequestement votre,

Kloster

I heard that an unofficial (and illegal) English version of the rules is supposed to exist. Unfortunately, I don't know much more or where it could be found. It's a shame, as it is a fine game which many of our English-speaking friends would probably enjoy.

I think that a French version was published years ago, but the translation was quite bad, apparently, and was considered a failure. Here is a link to an article about this editions and several reviews (in French).
