You could just use the real value of a crown - 5 shillings. Old British coinage used to have a half-crown coin (i.e. two shillings and sixpence) - which was one of my favourites as a kid. I also used to like three penny coins which were small but chunky copper coins with 12 sides. (Sorry...

Like others have said, I don't think any of the options makes for a necessarily better game - they simply provide different games in terms of mood and approach. Nor do any of the options really match my preference. I generally prefer (as DM or as player) games in which there is a real threat of...

I'm a big fan of MRQ II - though I'm not getting to play it as much as I'd like at the mo. :( If anyone's looking into it, I would definitely endorse the suggestion upthread to get on to the Mongoose forum - it's a friendly and helpful community and the authors of the core rules are very active...

Oooooh! I look forward to the next quarterly update. ;) :D

Don't think these have been done yet: Lord Hereford's Knob (Half Man Half biscuit) Old Stone (Laura Marling) Blackberry Stone (Laura Marling) Alpha Shallows (Laura Marling) The Cholera Well (The Levellers) Rooftop (Stereophonics) Cold Water (Tom Waits) Dog Door (Tom Waits) Genesis Hall (Richard...

Excellent stuff as ever, EN.

Good to see an update :).

As with several other posters I'm not a huge fan of the idea - I'm not sure what is gained by taking the time to play through the encounter rather than just describing the dream. However, if you do wish to go through with it I would suggest: 1. Giving the players some sort of roll (such as...

Yup. Good update EN. Here's hoping for more ... :D

I also have nothing to add to the science side of the debate. However, I'm a tad surprised no-one has yet mentioned Roger Zelazny's novel Jack of Shadows. In the words of the author himself (from The Illustrated Roger Zelazny):

Just wanted to add my voice to the chorus of praise for this story. I found it a couple of weeks ago and have been gradually reading through. I've really enjoyed it - geat story and great characters. Keep up the good work!

I am 50% ugly humanoid and 50% chocolate digestive.

Stone immediately sprang to my mind as one of the great banal names of the UK. We have loads: Bushey The Isle of Dogs The Lake District Newcastle Wells Sevenoaks As for "scoff at the DM" names in my area we have: Thrupp Brill Ickford Slapton

Bear in mind that the Mongoose stuff covers the Second Age of Glorantha, while pre-Mongoose versions of Runequest covered the Third Age. This is now the setting for the Heroquest version of Glorantha. You can find an overview and some interesting stuff here (I particularly like the "Heroquest...

Glad to hear it - wouldn't want you going all mushy on us. :D Well OBVIOUSLY ... that was always going to be the case ... unless you actually had gone to the swamp. ;)

:eek: Nice cliffhanger. I was wondering if the party had a clear goal in mind setting off after that rainstorm ... I guess not really. Anyway, looking forward to more, whichever direction they go ... :)

Just caught up with the last couple of episodes, and all I can say is "Holy **** Batman!" :eek: Not a good outcome all round - no library, no captured dwerro. :( Still at least all the characters are alive this time. :D The reincarnation of Shayla was incredibly cool, btw. :)

Small point of pedantry - Blade of Vengeance was in fact O2. (O1 was The Gem and The Staff.) The big bad dragon in it has 66 HP ... how times change eh?

Found this story a little while ago, and I've been reading through it when I got the chance - and now I'm caught right up to the present. It's fantastic stuff, Delemental - a great story and great writing. I know next to nothing about Exalted (other than it gets a lot of love on rpgnet), but I...

That's what comes of bad typing and not checking posts before you submit them. Obviously I meant to type "great StuG" meaning that your storyhour has an impact like an enormous motorised assault gun ... or ... something. :erm: Actually now I check, I think my memory was conflating "Statto"...
