Wow! It’s so cool when people you never met play a game that your mates have written. Plus it sounds like an ultra cool setting.
OQ is a great little ruleset and you can so easily mix and match in stuff from Mongoose RQ, or BRP or CoC or Stormbringer etc..

Hi Clint,

In the next couple I’m thinking of setting up a wiki to be the ‘OpenQuest:Companion’. There’s various bit’s that hit the cutting floor for the core rules I’ll be posting there and I’ll happily upload any notes you send my way on this Feel free to pop by the forums to chat about this, I’m interested about hearing about your house rules for psychic powers and prayers.

The errata has been done and included in the latest version of the book (v2), which is available for download and purchase as a print version.

I like the short story arc format myself, my home group have used it allot to keep our games manageable and memorable.

All the best with the rest of the game

Thanks for the nice review, Rick. And the kind words, Newt and Neil. When I can, I will get the notes in decent shape and I’d be happy to send them to you. If you would like, feel free to put them up on the Openquest site for others to use. I had a lot of fun throwing together and running it. I house-ruled a number of things [psychic powers and prayers], and stole from the Basic Role Playing [guns and modern armour] book as well.

If Part 2 of the One-Shot goes well, I will probably turn the game into a mini-series. I love the idea of games that can play out like a British miniseries or TV season.

– Clint.

p.s. Newt – I will definitely be picking up a print copy when the errata has wound up. I am very pleased with the book and I expect to use it for more one-shots in future.

As Chief Playtester and Evangelist for OpenQuest, this makes great reading. Would definitely be interested is seeing any notes the GM had on the conversion.

Glad to hear people having fun with the game. That was always the aim.

- Neil.

Wow, that sounds like a wonderfully fun and mad game. Here’s little old me just playing old skool Fantasy with it

Thanks for taking the time to write this up. As ‘author’ of OpenQuest its heart warming to hear that people are using it and having fun with it, especially in such a funky way.
