The Tavern is Giving Away One Free PDF Copy of OpenQuest 2 (D100 System)
Sometimes you just need to do something fun to cheer yourself up. This is what I'm doing for fun:
Between now and the morning of November 5th (Tuesday) you can give yourself a chance to win a PDF copy of OpenQuest 2, the new revision to OpenQuest. All you need to do is make a comment on this post and come Tuesday morning (my wife and I's 2nd wedding anniversary) and you'll be entered to win a copy of OpenQuest 2 in PDF.
One random winner will be awarded the prize using account credit at RPGNow. Kinda like my anniversary gift back to the community here at the Tavern.
Why OpenQuest 2? Because I really like the first edition, and to my sensibilities, it is what the modern version of RuneQuest should have been. After D&D / OSR rules, my picks would be Tunnels & Trolls and RuneQuest 2nd edition for old style play. OpenQuest 2 brings out the RQ2 feel for me.
From the blurb:
A complete and easy to play Fantasy Roleplaying game, with monsters, magic and exotic locales.
OpenQuest uses the classic D100 rules mechanic, which uses percentages to express the chance of success or failure.
This is the 2nd Edition of the game in full colour with 80 new pages of content. The Deluxe version of the game aims to be a self contained game with rules and advice on how to run a full campaign where the adventurers progress from their poor and ill experienced beginnings to the lofty heights of Godhood!
Open Quest is based on the Mongoose RuneQuest SRD (MRQ SRD), with ideas from previous editions of Chaosium's RuneQuest and Stormbringer 5th, mixed in with some common sense house rulings from the author's twenty years of experience with the D100 system.
Cheers to free stuff! :)

ReplyDeleteJust had my 6th Anniversary, my sweeetie had to come home early from work but she wasn't so ill she couldn't enjoy the steak and salad dinner I whipped up (after special trip to best butcher in region). Have a good 2nd Anniversary!
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary to the both of you! My wife and I will celebrate our 26th anniversary in December. I hope that you two are as happy as we are!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! Considering that the traditional gift is cotton, and the modern gift is china, I humbly submit you acquire a D20 cameo in a dice bag.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary and best wishes for those who are not feeling so well. And here's hoping you get to celebrate many, many more.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Happy anniversary and God bless you both.
ReplyDeleteWell I had hoped they'd post a sans-art edition for free, just in case I don't win. However, the link that used to go to the developers kit lands on a page which says "This is where the OpenQuest 2nd Edition Developers kit will live when its finally done". They are offering a preview here: http://d101games.com/files/2009/04/OpenQuest2-v1-preview.pdf
