Actually, I would be glad to work with you on it, since
I'm doing the exact same thing anyhow. However, what I am doing
may be slightly different than your version. I'm using a simplified
variant of _Runequest III_ for a Vikings campaign, set in 1392 of an
alternate history where Icelanders settled in the Hudson river valley.
I am writing up an independent rules summary for several
reasons. The RQIII rules are too complicated for my tastes, but the
original Basic Roleplaying booklet is insufficient. In any case, both
of them are long out of print. Other versions of the BRP rules
(earlier RQ, CoC, etc.) are too tied to a specific setting. However,
I want to stay roughly compatible so I can use the Viking campaign
pack, monster stat, etc. from RQ.
Like many people, I have my own variants for character creation
and advancement. The key thing is mainly to describe the stats
and skills along with resolution and combat. Ideally, I'd like to
share write-ups of basic things in an edittable format and replace
modular section for my own version.
