Chorpa Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Hmmm! Looks interesting even though I don't own or play HeroQuest. But I guess with some work it could be converted to the system of choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newt Posted July 24, 2012 Author Share Posted July 24, 2012 It was originally written for OpenQuest, and we still have the stats which at some point in the next month I'll release as a freebie. Also HQ 2nd edition is virtually statless, its more of a framework of play than endless streams of numbers. So you can take it and use it with your system of choice no problem.

Wolverine Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Hmmm! Looks interesting even though I don't own or play HeroQuest. But I guess with some work it could be converted to the system of choice. The book is technically systemless. There are very few mechanics in there, and you can easily ignore the HeroQuest keywords. As Newt has said, there will be a free PDF release containing OpenQuest statistics, which can be easily converted over to BRP.

rust Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Empire Rising is a browser-based MMORTS ... Sometimes a single letter makes a lot of difference, as for example the difference between Empire Rising and Empires Rising. Quote "Mind like parachute, function only when open."

Guest Vile Traveller Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Empire Rising is a browser-based MMORTS which is set in 1435 AD, a dark chapter in history due to disturbing conflicts among Christian and Muslim cultures and unceasing bloody battles between rival nations like Britain and France. Is this a very cunningly disguised spambot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
