This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Aquelarre will be translated to English!

Quote from: Stainless;861410In the spectrum of BRP-based games, where does this system lie? Is it towards the simple Open Quest end or the crunchy RQ6 end?

I would put it on the simpler end.

Agreed. Though the new edition adds a bit more of crunch in combat, with combat maneuvers and whatnot, overall the system is really simple.

And yes, the book is that gorgeous.
My name is Ramón Nogueras. Running now Vampire: the Masquerade (Giovanni Chronicles IV for just 3 players), and itching to resume my Call of Cthulhu campaign (The Sense of the Sleight-of-Hand Man).

I hadn't realised that Aquelarre was a riff on BRP, but I guess that could make it easy to use it as a source of crossover material for Pendragon - it'd be fun for Morgan le Fay to sic some Aquelarre demons on the player knights.

Come to think of it, between Aquelarre in Spain and Drachar och Demoner in Sweden, it's interesting how many European RPG scenes take more of a lead from BRP/RQ than D&D. (Even WFRP, perhaps the first really big homegrown RPG in the UK that wasn't a Games Workshop reprint of an American game, seems to be influenced by BRP in terms of the skill system.)
I am no longer posting here or reading this forum because Pundit has regularly claimed credit for keeping this community active. I am sick of his bullshit for reasons I explain here and I don\'t want to contribute to anything he considers to be a personal success on his part.

I recommend The RPG Pub as a friendly place where RPGs can be discussed and where the guiding principles of moderation are "be kind to each other" and "no politics". It\'s pretty chill so far.
