Looking for a new Fantasy RPG?
On the one hand, it’s sad that the worry and upset surrounding WoTC’s new OGL makes existing players want to move games, but if you are in that boat, fear not OpenQuest, while firmly D100 based, may be a suitable alternative.
One game design goal for OpenQuest was to be accessible and welcoming for gamers more familiar with a certain World’s Favourite Fantasy RPG. This is reflected in the default setting, which is very early-medieval period, has orcs, goblins, and other familiar fantasy races from myth and legend. But also, the system is at the simpler end of the D100 spectrum without losing any features. The OpenQuest main rule book is a complete all-in-one book with all the rules, a complete bestiary, an example setting and a complete adventure.

Also, within the next month or so, I’ll be releasing OpenQuest Dungeons, which along with two adventures, has advice for new Referees and players on how to run D100 in the familiar environment of the Dungeon.

Basic Roleplaying, I’ll buy that for a Dollar!
I have warm rosy memories of being on the playtest group for Chaosium’s Big Gold Book of Basic Roleplaying sometime in the 2000s. The book is a big, bold attempt at making BRP a generic system which you can use for any genre or mash-up of genres. It also pulls from various Chaosium games over the years, being a great-hits compilation as well. Well recommended.

This is something to brighten up yet another dull sunless rainy day here at D101 HQ.

Dungeon 23
Just before the holidays, I made the move from Twitter to a Mastodon server called dice camp. It’s been set up by RPG creatives to provide a home for the exodus of RPG fans from Twitter, and is actually quite a nice micro-blogging platform, without ads and algorithms messing about with the order of content. I’m there as @Newt_Newport@dice.camp. I’m trying to publish something interesting and upbeat each day as part of my wake-up and pre-work coffee routine.
To give me something to post about by default, I’ve joined the #dungeon23 project. Instead of posting a room a day for a dungeon, I’ll be making posts about creating a narrative megadungeon for Chaosium’s QuestWorlds system.
