You must have psychic powers. I own a copy, read it, and would do the same.

Come on, it's not as bad as it seems.

You cannot play the game using the rules as written and there are lots of confusing examples, and they haven't put much thought into making something consistent, but I'm sure there is something there... I think I liked the stuff about having items of different qualities and the rules for that and... I think that was it.

Second Age Glorantha is a cool setting as well, but I'll wait until BRP comes out to play there.

In any case it is bad manners to do that to a gift.

You don't understand my position.

That just plain sucks, Jason…no way a round it; that sucks large and stinks to high heaven :-T I’m not surprised however, considering the dubious quality of their products, those guys obviously play it fast and loose over there. Their bottom line is truly much more important to them than their reputation, integrity or customer service. I rarely post on forums, preferring to lurk and read, but your experience has seriously pissed me off.

I’m a Conan fan from way back, read my first Conan story in ’69 when I was eight years old and have loved the Cimmerian ever since. It already rubs me the wrong way that they’ve got the rights to the Hyborian Age, but add to that what they’ve done with “RuinedQuest” and now your story and I tell you a body just about can’t contain himself and has to do something!

My sympathies, man. I know it’s totally tweaking the sentiment of the concept and the philosophy that fostered it, but I can’t help but look forward to the day when all the shitty karma they’ve been spreading comes home on ‘em and they face their own painful reality realizing that they’re only reaping what they have sown.

P.S. These are for you bro!

My apologies for making a joke about what you do with mongoose's products. I obviously had no idea about anything that had happened and the way they had behaved with you.

Considering that, I think it is very polite that you didn't say that you would shove the book up the ass of anyone who gave one to you.

New member here - Hello people.

I've been moaning about how all the roman rpg's availible out there are in the "dull" period, during the empire. Not the fun parts, i.e. republic (or even byzantine). Of course, the "dull empire" seems to be everyone elses cup of tea, so perhaps it's really fun? I just prefer plotting politicos plundering provinces... and not just because it's fun to say out loud.
And then I notice this, a roman republic rpg using my favorite set of rules? Now what are the odds of that? I will gladly cheer the writer on in his efforts!

My eyes blinked and watered momentarily as I was looking over the thread list, and I read the title for this one as "BRP Rommel."

So, uh, where are the templates for "Sneering Aryan," Bombastic Latin," and "Stalwart Tommy?" And the stats for the Pz-IV?

Please cheer away!

I've just finished the Religions chapter and am now moving onto the daunting task of squeezing 700 years of history into a dozen pages... without leaving out all the fun stuff!

That gives you... 58 years per page on the average? I don't envy you, that's for sure.
