Mythic Britain Contest - Let's Roll!

On skills: You can select the same skill more than once as you go through the different sources of exposure and training. You certainly don't have to. Each selection has its cap of percentage points which can be added at that time.

On skill values: RQ uses difficulty grades which modify chances for success so scores in the 40 to 50 range are not bad for typical problems or occasional challenges. Like BRP rolls are only made when we are not dealing with routine actions. For competitive situations rolls are opposed or differential, where the level of success vs another person has an effect. As a result, it is in skills where you will go head to head vs someone that you might consider placing a larger grouping of points or adding to that skill more than once - if you see them being notable in that skill.

Excellent video, Aaron!

On Age: in RQ this is on page 48, after the professions and before the Bonus Skill Points and Starting Equipment sections. I will check Essentials when I get home. Nice to see Barnabas Kragbury spring to life before our eyes and to see how well you worked with the rules for the first time. Good show~

Thanks for sharing the whole imaginative process. That's getting in the spirit of things~

Age in Essentials is just the default Age option with the default array of points earned by being that age. You didn't miss anything, but I don't think the text implies Essentials offers more age options. There are 5 age bands in RQ with associated effects and points given for being older...and older...
