August 2007: How I started

The creation of OpenQuest was a happy accident. My original plan was to write a scenario under the MRQ RQ Logo license and then release it via RPGnow.com.  Hence Life and Death was written and originally planned as a MRQ scenario. However to make sure I complied with the terms of the RQ Logo license, which allow you to release products with the RQ logo on them as long as you only use stuff in the MRQ System Resource Document (SRD) I downloaded it and started reading through it.  More I looked at it more it dawned on me that with a bit of tweaking here and there I could recreate the game the way I like to play RQ these days.

So in my lunch hour at work back in Aug 07 work began on the very first version of the game, SimpleQuest v1.

This blog is intended for additonal material to complement the main core rules found in the OpenQuest book.

I’ll be adding more material as the weeks go by, all free under the Open Gaming License.

As well as my own material the OQ Companion is open to contributions. Please contact me via newt@d101games.co.uk

Enjoy!
