Yeah, it always struck me that the idea in HQ is that people of about the same mastery level are very evenly matched, with big differences noticeable when you...
As long as we're chatting, I have an old problem in new clothes. One of my players in Unfettered Space is a semi-retired Slick (Sled racer. They race small,...
... How about a three-way contest, between Kris, Lilly, and "everyone else"? If "everyone else" is doing well, you can narrate either one person gaining a lead...
That might work. So a round robin of contests? Kris v Lilly Kris v Everyone Else Lilly v Everyone Else ? Or just keep it protagonist focused and make it Kris v...
... I don't have HQ2, but in HQ1 I'd run it as a standard Group Extended contest. Each round, each participant chooses whose APs they want to have a go at. ...
Extended contests have been rather radically overhauled in HQ2. Hopping from opponent to opponent doesn't really make sense as I read the new rules....
... Given the description (dangerous course etc.) "people dropping out" sounds right to me (the last few could simply be dropping out of contention for...
... It sounds like you have framed this as a contest between the player and the hot-shot upstart NPC. Any other racers are just color (as they usually are in...
*nod* I do think the dark horse needs to be in there, though. It feels right given the tone. It is, of course, primarily about Kris vs Lilly. I like the...
Another thought would be to have Kris and Lilly make competing rolls against a target based on different sections of the course. It might be an obstacle, a...
So give each an extended contest against the course itself, best margin of success wins. That's certainly do-able as well. Thanks all, for the suggestions....
They are still in the contest against one another, the course doesn't earn points toward victory unless you want that to represent the chance that one or both...
I'm still a bit confused, you are proposing a contest where they both roll against the course's resistance, otherwise racing to 5? So stage 1 is something like...
I wouldn't bother with Loss gives you no points. Each contestant would have to maintain their own score against the course, but if the course gets to 5 points...
Well, yes. Or rather, no. Complete loss is rocky outcropping in an enormous fireball. Other losses are not finishing for various reasons. (Unrelated actions...
That's it in a nutshell, yep. But at the same time, you can also have instances where the two directly compete. Frame the contest as Kris and Lilly jockeying...
Flashback racing? Curious approach. I could see it being useful in a final meeting, but not for their first encounter. ... [Non-text portions of this message...
I don't know how well this would work under the HQ2 rules, but what sprung to mind for me was actually a series of simple contests, with "carry over" (or...
... I'd look to cinema with HQ for inspiration. If you think about race scenes such as Ben Hur or Phantom Menace's Pod Racers, then races tend to be one-on-one...
Ian. It does seem the consensus. And certainly race 1 has this element, as it is all about the woman who has replaced him as being beyond Slick and flat-out...
Howdy all - The Facebook HeroQuest: Roleplaying in Glorantha page is mighty active. But since not everyone is on Facebook, I've made it easier to see what is...
The worldwide premiere of Sartar Kingdom of Heroes will be at London Dragonmeet on November 28. We will be bringing a limited number of the new books for sale...
As much as I hate to spam the lists, with the imminent release of the full "bells-and-whistles" Sartar book I am selling off some Gloranthan rarities on ebay...
Not rarities as such, but for those of you interested in Mongoose's take on Second Age Glorantha I have also listed all my MRQ books at half retail price....
What Ian said. It's all about the character's rivalry with the new hotshot opponent, who has undoubtedly got stooges among the other racers who will try and...
... who has undoubtedly got stooges among the other racers who will try and nobble the PC, will have rigged some of the obstacles in the race, ... Actually...
Apologies once again.... (grins meekly at the Mods!!) But not having sold anything on ebay for a while I find that it has changed somewhat in my absence and...
