'White Dwarf' magazine did a spoof of Macbeth in the '80's.

Definately Glorantha, but historical games and historical fantasy are definate options too.

I'm going to start with Lankhmar, but I'd love a more Conan-ish setting. I've heard good things about Glorantha, although I am completely unfamiliar with the setting. I like that everyone knows a little magic.

Yep, the one big regret is that they couldn't do a Conan setting for it. It would be a perfect fit, and would have made up a formidable stable of licensed settings to use, alongside Glorantha, The Eternal Champion and Lankhmar.

In my view, Mongoose should try to rebid for Conan - as a new RQ edition afater their current d20 license runs out.

Doesn't Mongoose Publishing still retain rights for Slaine? That would be another solid sword and sorcery setting.

My group are currently enjoying, or possibly enduring, my epic Gloranthan campaign, however, they've been clamouring for a change of pace. Therefore, I am officially dusting off my Tekumel books and notes and plan to begin the conversion process to MRQ II.

Wish me luck...

I'm thinking MRQII would be ideally suited for a Sanctuary/Thieves' World game.

I use RQ for a pseudo-historical Mycenaean/Minoan Greece setting with steampunky and alchemical elements (Daedalus gone mad, basically). Given that RQ/Glorantha was always a bronze age setting, it works quite well. The 19th century anthropology aspects of RQ also fit well with older classical scholarship of the Mediterranean.

I chose Glorantha but would like to try to make a Dark Sun conversion as well. RQ looks ideal for the gritty setting and it's easy to convert the old bronze/iron weapon rules to obsidian/steel.

I'll be running a 3rd age Sartar campaign beginning in 1616. I haven't run a game in Glorantha or one using RQ in nearly 20 years! By the way, the Sartar book from Moon Design is a great resource!

Midnight. I think is the best setting for MRQ II.

I'm currently using MRQII to continue my Conan campaign. I plan on also running Deus Vult. I'd grab Slaine and Wraith Recon as well. Looking at the line-up of MRQII expansions, I'm also thinking it might be the best game for a new Warhammer Fantasy campaign.

Umathela in the 3rd Age.

Umathing escaped Vadeli slaves and Malki sorcerers exploring the seedier underbelly of the coastal city-states, with dastardly plots and hot-house menace.

Sort of like Fu Manchu in Limehouse, but without an actual Fu Manchu.
