Re: New Book Planned for RQ6

Jonathan,

very good news. Would you be able to help us out in the immediate terms by putting a brief pdf together with guidance on how to convert Legend over to RQ6. There are some things that are quite different: AoT combat styles and char gen, the way divine magic works compared to RQ6 and Spirits. A steer as to how to apporach conversion at the least would be great!

Same basic engine. Complete ruleset in one book (bestiary included). More colourful sorcery spell list; theism (divine Magic) has some fairly large changes in how it's done but it doesn't require much shift to get your head round it; mysticism rules added; combat style traits; skill difficulty refined; simplified chargen - essentially lots of cool little shifts and changes. And it's called RuneQuest.

Excellent news! One possibly silly question How does the RQ6 rules set differ from legend?

In fact, I am really puzzle by the scale...

According to the AoT source book, p.2 the Taskian Empire "spans
a territory 600 miles east to west, nearly 400 miles north to south". But when I use the scale on the map to measure the Empire's "bounding box", I get something like 730 X 530. So the scale is definitely not expressed in miles, because it would contradict the AoT statement, nor kilometers, since it would then be much less than 600 X 400 miles...

Should I assume that the dimensions given in the AoT source book are approximate enough so that the scale on the map is in miles, or should I correct the scale accordingly (to fit what is said in the AoT book)?

To some, it may seem like a minor issue, but considering it will affect all travel distances and potentially all future maps published for the game... I see this as an important precision to make!

Gorgeous map, btw!

Is there a color version? Will it be available somewhere one day?

Thanks.

Just wondering: the scale on the map is in km, miles or leagues?

I wish economics had been this much at school.

Really nice! Well written, intresting & informative and unfortunately the sort of info that gets forgotten about in the usual fantasy rpg fare. So thanks very much for posting it.

A very useful resource, and tremendously interesting in general terms, as well. This will be a great addition to any RPGer's library. Thanks.

Assuming all the layout etc complete about a month from now (may be optimistic), it's then down to when Mongoose get the print in. I'd hope no later than May.

I've found that Thieves' World is an excellent fit for the grittier aspects of Taskan life. It has certainly colored my perception of how a gutter rat-style campaign might unfold.
