Thanks, Utgardloki! But my question was more geared towards how you handle your Players joining guilds. Or are you using them as background material only? How do you manage one PC interested in joining the Cavalier's Guild while another one is more interested in being a member of a Thieve's...

Nice! Now i look like a fool :D Thanks, i'll go get that book, and i guess i'll have them all, now ... edit: Oh, i see it's coming in may ;(

I'm currently building my first big city. While writing the various guilds and cults, temples, etc. i wondered how people actually play it in-game? The game seems to be geared towards guilds as a mean to better one's character: gaining knowledge, skills and various magical powers. I mean, the...

Thanks a lot! I like the idea of rolling the basic stats (ie 3d6 for humans). Simple and effective.

Montreal, Canada - Waiting for spring... :D

It kinda seems unfair to me to have players rolling a 96-00 to increase basic stats over 20. I have a player who is an Elf and started with a base score of Int of 18, which is only 2 points above average. In fact, the whole rules about increasing stats are harsh. If you don't roll over your...

Of course, you're absolutely right. I wasn't planning on changing things right off the bat, but it's something that'll always stick in the back of my mind, always thinking about how i could change this, tweak that, incorporate new tables here and there... ;) And also, if someone would have...

Sorry, sorry! I feel like i'm spamming the forums ;) Here's a little story: I've always wanted to play Rolemaster. But, the complexity of the rules, the character creation, the scarcity of the books, etc... put me away. Then, i found Runequest, which has most of what i'm looking in an RPG...

Good idea! Thanks! I didn't thought of putting them directly in the action. Usually, i just improvise the first few sessions as to see what tone, characters intereactions and background my players offer. I think i'll try that this time. I was already planning some kind of plot involving some...

Why is that? In my playtesting, the original tables work really great, without the downgrading. When/why should i use downgrading? I've read a few topics about it recently, actually, but i never understood why such a rule was needed at first, and why (or not) people use it? By the way, thanks...

Thanks for the input! Yeah i'll probably do something like that. Though i want them to see a little bit of everything, so i'll probably give them a few runes and spells to start with ;)

Even after a few read through, i'm still puzzled by a few things in those 2 books. MRQ Deluxe 1- Monsters with stats not listed. Resilience, for example, is a skill often used but not all monsters have it (Centipede, Chonchon, Deer, Halfling just to name a few). Do i have to calculate it...

I've fallen in love with the RuneQuest system. I read the whole Deluxe book in an evening and the day after, i went to get Pirates and Spellbook. I'm still looking for the the DM guide but it's unavailable around here... So, anyway, i was planning to use Runequest and Pirates as a mean to run...
