Especially useful for me as I've spent the last two weeks working with Runequest 6 on a 3-part mini campaign (with part three up next week) and it's been interesting to contrast the feel of RQ6/Mythras with my Magic World experiences. Magic World's streamlined design definitely appeals to me more, although I know that with RQ6/Mythras it's just a matter of persistence and time to get comfortable with it.* Still....being that I am pretty quickly coming to accept that I lean towards lighter mechanics these days, the prospect of a robust bestiary to support a longer Magic World campaign is very tempting.
*Also, my players keep correcting me when I make rules calls that are clearly ripped from BRP/MW and not technically part of RQ6/Mythras. Sigh.....devil in the details....and apparently I have BRP/MW very well memorized, enough to trip me up a lot when trying to run RQ6/Mythras.
It's a long time since your last Pathfinder post. Do you still play PF? I'm divided by PF vs 5e. I really enjoy 5e (and rules light system), but PF reminds me of 3.5, and I've some nostalgic feelings for that clunky and messy beast. Keep the good work man. Sorry for any grammar errors, English is not my native language. Cheers from Brazil.
ReplyDeleteI ran my last Pathfinder game a few months ago, but more or less have put it away for good....I'm a total convert to 5E now. It's got just enough complexity to be engaging for me while fixing a lot of the clunky parts of the 3rd edition era style. That said, I still think about Pathfinder ideas for gaming, so I suppose running a PF game in the future is not out of the question, just on break I guess.
DeleteWow...now that's a labor of love! Very impressive!
