As you can see from the previous post I've uploaded my DQ religion
rules. I finally got my finger out and made the changes I've been
planning for the past year since I last updated.

Here it is, please give feed back and suggestions for improvement. If
you recognise any of your work and I haven't credited you for it, or
want it remove please let me know

I've put it in Cathedral in memory of the old e-Group

David

I'm glad to see some new submissions in DQ-rules, even if it has taken
me a few days to get my comments organized and ready to post.

I've put all of my comments into one fat message, rather than sending
them in several smaller messages. Those of you who are interested
will probably want to read all of this, and those who are not can
delete only one message instead of several.

Here then are my comments on the various recent summer postings:

SOLDIER
posted by: Stephen <hollywood314@juno.com>

There are no experience costs given for Soldier. There's not a lot to
the Soldier skill (compared to something like Healer or Ranger), so I
would expect that its XP costs would be in the range of Courtesan skill.

Some time ago, I made a passing comment about treating groups of
organized, trained soldiers as single, multi-hex creatures. So rather
than the town watch being five guys that a couple adventurers could
take out relatively easily, they would act as a single thing and
behave in some special ways, and consequently be much more difficult
to deal with. I haven't done much more with that idea, but Stephen's
Soldier skill has reminded me of it, and I am going to try to work up
a draft of the idea for that.

In many ways, this is a good start but needs more work. (I mean this
in the best way. I think this is an excellent start and it suggests a
new skill I hadn't considered before. Even better, it suggests that
such a skill might be useful, where I had skipped over the idea as
unneeded before.)

The ideas of increased physical training and capacity, and sleep
(67.1) and (67.4) seem very good. I'd like to think about different
mechanics for rest and recovery, but I like the ideas. Rallying
(67.3) also seems to be on the right track.

Gambling (67.5) is peripheral and probably not really that applicable
to the skill. I use the Gambling minor skill from Poor Brendan's
Almanac in my campaign, and I might instead suggest allowing a
discount on XP cost for a soldier to acquire Gambling skill, rather
than building it into Soldier skill directly.

The perception increase (67.2) troubles me, though. Assuming two
experienced characters with a PC of 20: one a senior (Rank 8) soldier
and the other not. The soldier is going to have an effective PC of 36
versus 20 for the non-soldier. If we make spotting an approaching foe
a 3x difficulty task, the soldier has over 100% chance to spot the
opponent. Why would an army use more than one or two soldiers on watch?
It also seems out of scale to say that a soldier has almost twice
the perception of a non-soldier. Would this make any sense at all if
there was a company of troops marching through the wilderness, and the
soldiers were able to spot approaching creatures, but the ranger who
was serving as their guide wasn't?
And such a high PC is well out of the norm for humans. The max for
the stat for humans is 25 normally. In my campaign I have allowed
characters to bump that a little (Adventurer can be +1 racial maximum
and Hero can be +2 racial maximum). This seems as out of scale as
saying that a soldier's training allows him to double his Strength or
his Fatigue in combat.
A lot of things that soldiers do are done broadly but shallowly. It
isn't that every soldier has supernatural senses, but rather that
there are many soldiers on watch. If there are 10 soldiers on watch
for the company, and each has a PC of 12, that gives you 10 figures
with a 24% chance to make a 2x Perception roll. It's pretty unlikely
that none of them will succeed.
If I was going to leave a perception increase in the soldier skill,
I don't think that I'd allow it to go beyond +3 at most.


TEMPLAR
by Todd Douglas
posted by: uzikael <tdouglas@linuxpupil.com>

I was glad to see David chime in on the Templar, since I was going
suggest that he review it. I'd like to see a version that coordinates
with the DragonQuest Cathedral material, since that is a well
developed system for religion in DQ.

My own take on it is that it's probably okay if it meshes with your
take on the heroic. Templars certainly wouldn't fit in in my
campaign, but that's just a matter of different styles, not a problem
with the skill per se.

SPIRITS, RELIGION, AND PLANES
by David Barrass, et. al.
posted by: <david.barrass@ed.ac.uk>

I was also glad to see the reposting of the DQ Spirits and Religion
rules. As I said, I don't have a place for these rules in my own
campaign, but I continue to be impressed with the feel of the system.
I don't know how well it plays in practice, but it looks like what
SPI would have published when they got to writing up rules for gods
and religions in DQ.


PHYSICAL STRENGTH
posted by: uzikael <tdouglas@linuxpupil.com>

I think that this is nothing more than an extrapolated table with
separate values for each point of strength rather than groups. It's
nice if you're after that little bit of extra. I tend not to worry
about encumbrance in my campaign too much.


WIZARD
by Todd Douglas & Bruce Cook
posted by: uzikael <tdouglas@linuxpupil.com>

This also seems to be a very campaign-specific skill.

Costing everything in GS rather than Sp shows how very expensive this
skill is. I was going to point out how far out of scale with the rest
of the game this is, but then I found this in Arcane Wisdom:
'A good magical research library will cost about 30,000 Gold
Shillings to develop (less the value of any magical scrolls that the
Adept may add to the library as a result of his adventures) and should
take between five and ten years to develop.'

Personally, I think cost is a poor metric for a rule to use, because
the economy of different campaigns varies wildly (for example, a
"Peasants Campaign" where even a piece of silver was a rare and
valuable thing). Does anyone have a better suggestion? (To be fair,
I think that it should be changed both in this skill and in Arcane
Wisdom.)

Hey guys,

Rodger,

After I posted my skill, I realized that I had forgotten the XP cost. You are exactly correct. My intention is that the Soldier cost would be the same as Courtesian.

As far as gambling...that was a throw-in. I thought it would be fun to use in certain roleplaying situations. I'd love to hear of any other ideas for something to take its place.

While I agree with some of your points on keeping watch, I disagree with others. After reviewing my skill, I believe you are right, a RK X 2 increase is too much. Something more reasonable, like just a RK increase might be better.

I disagree that detecting stealth should be a function of the collective group on watch. While "The Watch" may be composed of numerous individuals acting together, the detection of someone sneaking by ultimately comes down to one individual noticing them. Further, a lone sentry patrolling a wall would not receive any benefit from the other sentries watching different parts of the wall. I feel that using stealth should be on a case-by-case basis. Each time a new guard or group of guards is encountered, stealth should be checked. A collective system would be unecessarily cumbersome. Of course, these are just my thoughts.

Stephen

Rodger,

you are exactly right concerning the PS Chart I posted. I have been using this for a while now, and it is just a smoother version of the PS Chart in the rule book. I hope someone else will find it usefull. I am also looking forward to how the Templar might be incorperated into other games.

When I posted the Wizard Skill I did my best to taylor it to the rules posted on the website, and thus make it more generic than the one I use in my own game. One thing you didn't mention is the very expensive xp cost. Once a wizard learns a spell/talent/ritual it is learned to rank 0 and must be further ranked. Also Wizard Skill is wonderful for NPCs because the can have a few spells they need without granting them magic items. If a GM wanted to tone down the wizard skill they might want to link it to a single college, or a single branch. I use the Seagate Edition 1.5 Rulebook. Naming and Illusions are very different in those rules and I can see how Wizard Skill could be abused. The GM should limit the selection of spells that they allow their wizards to develop.

Wizard & Templar are skills I have recently dreamed up, and they havn't been playtested for long. I look forward to any comments that you all have in the future.

cheers,
Todd

For those of you who don't follow both groups, Jim Goltz has announced
that he is starting up an open source repository and project for SPI's
science-fiction RPG 'Universe' using SourceForge to archive and
distribute it.

http://universerpg.sourceforge.net/

He seems to be using a number of programming tools in order to track
versioning and produce his documents. It's appealing in some ways, to
think about doing the same with DragonQuest, but it would require
learning a number of unfamiliar tools, and I'm not sure that any sort
of OpenDQ project would benefit from the overhead this would require.

Just to update everyone, I am still working on OpenDQ, but it has been
somewhat back-burnered of late in favor of some other projects, both
IRL and other non-DQ game projects.

Also, if anyone is interested, Ian Taylor has put together a
compilation of all Ares magazines (including the games, boards and
counters) in PDF format as a 2-CD collection. I've only had a chance
to browse a couple of the issues so far, but it's a nice resource to have.

I'm sorry that last message got through. Obviously, the poster saw
"DragonQuest" and wasn't aware that the DragonQuest he was familiar
with was not the same as the DragonQuest this group is about.

But the traffic on this group is low enough that I'm not going to
limit the posting, unless we start getting a lot more offtopic postings.

Mr Thorm and I were talking about launching a new site, but were
concerned about the lack of activity on this board. Is anyone
playing right now? This community waxes and wanes... but I do not
recall a period of activity this light. If you are not playing are
you taking a break? or is it over for you? Maybe we are all getting
too old :-)

Hello all

I only joined a couple of days ago.

I have not been able to make the time to peruse this group or the
other DQ groups I joined.

Being a computer developer I have ideas for DQ but I am unable to
drop everything and solely devote my time to this. But I wish that I
could.

As for age - I am 21 -------------( a few times! )

Greg - questing for more...

I am not playing (as usual). I had a local Thursday night RPG group
that was heavily into DnD for a while. As these things usually go,
internal politics got hot and heavy and the group went on hiatus (I
managed to miss all the 'fun' because I was either sick or working
for a period of three weeks). The intent was to start some different
game up, but everybody decided it was too much trouble and they no
longer role play on Thursday nights.

I do read the list and have enjoyed it. I even got some ideas for the
game that almost was. I vote to kep it open.

Marty

Interestingly, the Universe groups are now more active than the DQ groups.

Useless trivia - I turned 42 last week. Now I can drink TWO beers.

Well the Seagate Guild in Auckland, New Zealand is still going strong. Been
busy with work and website updates for an on-line D3.5 chat ... I wonder if
it would be worth setting one up for DragonQuest?

I haven't had time for *any* gaming for years, unfortunately. And, I've
moved away from everyone I knew that played. I'm sure there are players
in my area, since I'm in Houston, but I just haven't had time to find
them and make contact!

Good luck with the site, though!

So, some of us are still playing, just not very vocal.

Too old? Perish the thought. This past Friday I ran the 22nd session
of a campaign I've been running for the past 6 or 7 months. For me
the game is very much alive and well.

My players are scattered all across the southeastern United States,
but that doesn't stop us. We still play using OpenRPG as our virtual
tabletop and teamspeak for voice communication.

Well, you might want to see what I'm working on right now, a new mosnter
supplement for DQ as part ofa more ambitious magic system rework for a
new type of campaign setting inspired by the computer stratgey game
Dominions 2: The Ascension Wars. It has dozens of new (and mostly rather
powerful) creatures. Not quite finished yet, but maybe in a week or two.

<snip monster descriptions>

The dretch sounds like agood addition for demonic fodder, as even the
imps are rather formidable in DQ. DQ already has a succubus in the 2E,
so yours is redundant and frankly worse in execution than the existing
one. The Kyton is more interesting, but probably not something I would
personally use. If you like your monsters to have less of a cookie
cutter feel, give their stats a range (e.g. PS: 18 - 25) like all
non-unique creatures in DQ have, so that there is variation between
individual creatures. It's easy to construct a few generic templates and
then apply a mix of them when a party encounters a group of critters,
and then all of them aren't predictable.

Greetings and Hello to all,

I have a DQ question and was wondering if I could get
some expert opinions.

Regarding,
"Spell of Creating Shadow-Starsword
EFFECTS: Only Star Mages may create a Starsword, and
only Dark Mages or Shadow Weavers may create a Shadow
Sword. Any sword within range may have this type of
spell cast over it. The sword will then have 1 ( + 1
per Rank) added to its Base Chance and 1 (+ 1 for
every 3 or fraction of 3 Ranks) added to the damage it
will do whenever it is used against a creature of
opposite alignment. Starswords do extra damage to
creatures of night and shadow and shadowswords do
extra damage to all other creatures."

My group has been debating this topic, so my question
is this: Does the Strike Chance AND Damage only work
against creatures of opposite alignments OR would,
say, a star sword get the + to SC against a creature
of the same alignment, but not get the additional
damage?

If at all possible, it would be great to hear opinions
from long time DMs and players, as well as any
original DQ contributors (if they are out there
reading this).

Thanks in advance.

Mark

And I would go as far to rule (if I were the GM) that the sword has NO
effect on like aligned creatures. Not even it's normal damage.
But I am more used to GMing than playing, so I can be a bit of a
bastard.

Interesting. I'd have gone in the opposite direction, ruling that the
increased chance to hit comes in some way from the sword's increased
responsiveness to the wielder -- although the shadow/star energy of
the sword is harmless to others (so the damage-causing effect goes away).

Now if my GM wanted to be a sadistic bastard and rule otherwise,
that's his prerogative. You could probably justify it either way. I
always felt that Shadow mages had an intriguing set of spells in the
first place, so don't feel that either ruling would make much
difference in how fun the class is.

However, I haven't played DQ for years, and haven't found any group of
players since I moved to Sydney.

Anyone have the Enchanted wood or any other adventure on file and
want to supply them? Suggestion is to either have it here or e-mail
me at reverses@home.se.

Just asking. Thanks :)

HI Guys

My name is Stephen an experienced DQ player of some 23 years now
(GULP) I run a number of groups in the north of England all part of
the same campaign and am looking for players from around the world
who would like to take the roles of important characters in my
campaign.

You could be evil tyrants or peaceful kings, powerful sorcerers or
generals of huge armies, or even demons or powerfiul undead the list
is endless.

You will be initially sent a profile of your character and your local
and geo-political situation including your allies and your enemies
and any interesting facts or rumours relevant to your position and
status, every two weeks I shall ask you to email me your orders to
your minions or peoples or perhaps ypu want to go adventuring
yourself. The possibilities are endless.

All i need from yourself initially are

Your name
Your age
Your email address
The alignment of the character you would like to play
The race of the character you would prefer to play

Please note where ever possible I will try and find a character that
is suitable to your requests but this may not always be possible due
to that position already being chosen.

PLease email to stemcginn35@hotmail.com and lets have some fun.

Dear Stephen,

My name is Carl Stephen Mumm. I'm currently living in
Los Angeles and hating it. I'm a frustrated fantasy
writer because in order to earn my bread and butter, I
decided to teach middle school. (Big mistake.)

Anyway, I've been a player and a judge of DQ ever
since the first edition of the rules came out from
SPI. Here are the stats you asked for:

Your name
Carl S Mumm

Your age
42

Your email address
brovenar@yahoo.com

The alignment of the character you would like to play
As evil and as nasty as possible.

The race of the character you would prefer to play
Any.

The powerful undead or the demon characters sound
interesting. I'm used to playing magicians or anyone,
really. I have a lot of wargame experience, plus I'm a
shogi player, so strategy and armies are in good hands
with me.

Yes, this sounds like an excellent diversion. Thanks
for the email, Stephen.

CS

PS: An old friend of mine may be interested in this,
as well. Shall I send you his email address, or would
you rather he emailed you?

I am Jason Honhera, age 34 with 24 years of DQ experience. I have
done a tone of game mastering and would be happy to play any of the
characters you need. I tried a similar approach for a Primal Order
group and will be interested to see how this plays out.

Hi Stephen,
my name is Arturo Algueiro Melo, from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
I´ve been playing DQ for about 15 years and I also have a wargamer's background.
My age is 48 and my email: aleam00 @ yahoo.com
I'd like to join this email play. My character should be a neutral-evil sorcerer.
Best regards... Arturo

Hi, people...
There is a typo in the redirection address,
instead of stemcgunn35@hotmail.com , it is
stemcginn35@hotmail.com , as stated in other mail.
Best regards... Arturo

position by the end of this week to email everybodys details.. Thank
you once again for your patience and I hope you enjoy playing as much
as I have putting this project together.

Stephen

For those of us who are not playing but might be interested in watching, are
you going to have a web site or mailing list of the action?

Peter Hill.

Hi,

My name is Jeffery. I'm hoping there are some DQ players in the
Corvallis, OR area.

Failing that, I'm interested in GMIng online or perhaps playing a
character in an online game.

I have been GMing/playing DQ since it first became available, and have
done FRPG since 1979.

Greetings all,
Just wondered if any of you have looked into Ghostorb as a medium
for online play? Right now it is in development, but it may have some
potential as a gaming tool for on-line play.

Attachments :

I haven't tried it.

I wonder how it differs from openrpg http://www.openrpg.com/ or webrpg http://www.webrpg.com/?

I actually joined last week, the client though won't be available for a few
weeks yet though so I can't report much on how it is yet. They just opened
up the forums to the early subscribers this last Friday. I'll report back
in a month or so when I have more information.

Any DQ players in the Boston, MA area?

John

I know this may be a long shot but are there any DQ players in
Queensland Australia, or more specifically Bundaberg?
