Greetings from Scotland!
#1My name is Pete, as indicated by my unimaginative username. I've been gaming off and on for 7 years now, when my friends first introduced me to AD&D 2nd Ed. during my second year at uni. Since then, I've also dabbled in Star Wars D20, Paranoia, Call of Cthulhu and most recently a free fantasy system called Warrior, Rogue & Mage. I enjoy GMing and stumbled across this site while looking for some ingenious traps for my current WR&M game.
I look forward to becoming an active member in the community and can't wait to start sharing ideas. -
Re: Greetings from Scotland!
#2Awesome...and welcome.
Always good to see the word Cthulhu anywhere as well. Glad you joined and we can't wait to hear some of your ideas!
How close are you to Loch Ness? I need some photos of Nessie and am trying to find somebody to take pictures! -
Re: Greetings from Scotland!
#3Greetings Peter! Look forward to see your stuff!

#4Welcome! -
Re: Greetings from Scotland!
#5Wooo new member! Welcome PeteBain! No Priests in Warrior, Rogue, and Mage? -
Re: Greetings from Scotland!
#6Welcome.
If you really are in Scotland, prove it by sending me some of your local booze, the sort of stuff that only gets sold to the locals.

Re: Greetings from Scotland!
#7Thanks to all for the warm welcomes.
Sorry, Strolen, I live fairly close to the border with England. It would take me the better part of a day to reach Loch Ness and even then, Nessie is notoriously difficult to photograph.
And as far as Warrior, Rogue & Mage goes, Murometz, there is ample scope for Priests. The title represents the core stats of every character; Warrior replaces STR and CON, Rogue replaces DEX and CHA, and Mage replaces INT and WIS. It's a ridiculously simple system geared for roleplaying, rather than roll playing. The combat system could do with some tweaking, but otherwise I'd highly recommend it.
And Scrasamax? I'm sure I wouldn't know what you're talking about. (We don't sell it, it's all personal consumption.) -

Keech! Fair enough.
Never hurts to ask.

Then all the stuff they sell over here that says its imported from Scotland is a lie?

Re: Greetings from Scotland!
#12Oh no, that stuff is all legit. It's either above board and available to all, or off the record and only for parties. -

Let me make an analogy (and keep in mind that this is all in jest)
The McIlhenny company manufactures tobasco sauce, and this sauce is generally available around the world.
But they also make other things, other types of sauces that are still available for purchase, but are not majorly exported, such as taking the salt used to seal/cure the pepper pulp barrels and selling it at seasoning salt, and limited run things like spicy worcestershire sauce, spicy soy sauce, and such. These things are all legit for sale, but if you want these, you either have to go the factory store, or you have to live in southern Louisiana where the factory is located. -
Re: Greetings from Scotland!
#15Ah, yes, I have heard tales of such commodities. Alas, anyone who can afford them can also afford to ship them. I can afford neither. :P -

:( I did not know this. And I wish I still didn't. So... far... away.... -
Re: Greetings from Scotland!
#17By the way, how does Warrior, Rogue & Mage work for you? It was one of several lite systems I looked at before settling on something else, but it seemed like it had potential. -
Re: Greetings from Scotland!
#18Ach, welcome laddy! Since thee hail fra de fair isle a Scotland, tis be required ta....arrrrr, I'm speaking pirate now. Anyways, since you're Scottish, you have to join the dwarven guild, there's a law on it. :) And if not, Muro will make one. -
Re: Greetings from Scotland!
#19Guild laws are sacred laws. Even the ones we haven't made up yet. -
Re: Greetings from Scotland!
#20Especially the ones we haven't made up yet -

It's not a bad system, especially with all the supplements that give alternatives for combat and magic. It certainly requires a bit of work, though, if you intend on picking and choosing the rules to create a balanced system. Out of curiosity, what system did you wind up going with?
And Gossamer? Although I already have a beard, I've never been one for ale, so I may give the Dwarves Guild a miss for now. :P
I do, however, quite like polishing ideas and making connections where others don't. Perhaps the Weavers is the place for me? -
Re: Greetings from Scotland!
#22I've been using Mini Six for a few years now. It's a stripped down version of D6 that is easy to pick up, easy for newbies to catch on to, fast to play, and simple to tweak. I tend to favor storytelling and role-playing over crunchy rules and this works well for that style of play.
Lately, though, I've been looking into Fate (specifically FAE, the lighter version.) I may just end up merging some of its elements back into Mini Six. -

#23Welcome Pete!
Good to see someone else that started with AD&D 2nd Ed :)
