    Swordbreaker rules

    I am having memory fade, as I could swear that I have seen somewhere in one of the MRQ1 rulebooks a set of rules for use of Swordbreakers; and I cannot remember where. One of my players has acquired one (a Dragonewt Gami), and I am trying to set the rules for use. If I cannot manage to find...

    MRQ1's Runes poll

    Running an MRQ1-based campaign still, Runes are there. My take on the whole inconvenience of having to be in touch to use the benefits is that once attuned, the Rune can be chosen to be completely assimilated and appears as a tattoo-like marking on the skin. Of course when you die it reforms...

    Return to Apple Lane

    I have run this a few times over the years, but its most recent outing was at the start of the current campaign, which has now been going for over 2 years. Several new RQ players and they took to the village like veterans. Actually started with 'Rumble at the Tin Inn' from White Dwarf, recast...

    Duck Tower - Judges Guild

    Thanks to everyone for the suggestions, rpg.drivethrustuff..... proved to be a sensible option, but I have to say that I did not know about most of the other stuff. However, my players have already done 'Raven in the Roost', it meant that they finished up having to learn the Durulz language (...

    Duck Tower - Judges Guild

    Does anyone know of a good source where I can buy this in one form or another? In conjunction with 'Duck Pond', which I have and am just converting, and the 'Three Ducks' scenario from Sceaptunes' 'Quester's Guide' which I have run and my drove my players mad trying to sort out friend from foe...

    Return to Apple Lane

    I ran this using MRQ as the intro to my campaign some months ago and found the whole thing really still works. (I do admit to using 'Rumble at the Tin Inn' for a session or two as well). These two demonstrating that quality will out. I simply converted the characters using my character generator...

    Naming of new version of MRQ

    While I am glad to see that the rules are being revised and updated (especially by Loz), I am starting to feel a little uneasy about the common name being given to the new edition. It is regularly appearing referred to as RQII. Now I was playing RQII in nineteen-hundred and frozen to death...

    Should Runequest be Glorantha specific?

    I felt I had to have my twopennor'th on this. RQ was a system created around Glorantha, and then adapted to other ethos (ethoses? - Oh dammit - backgrounds). That this translation has been so successful (Cthulu, Stormbringer, BRP) tells it's own story about the soundness of the system. I can...

    Variable combat actions

    I was not happy with some aspects of the CA system as written and so tweaked it until I realised I was only just using the basics of the number of CA's being reliant on DEX and a D10 roll at the beginning of each round. The system uses SR's and also a weapon penalty for short weapons (a variant...

    Can we expect another full campaign this year?

    Awww, just when I had convinced myself that Mostali would be the final thing that I really needed. :shock: Can't wait for more details, so expect to get severely badgered for more hints. elgrin

    Comparing RuneQuest to D&D

    As RQ GM, who currently plays D&D as well,I would like to be able to give an erudite addition to the treatise above, but as it covers just about everything I could have said, and much more, I will only add that running away is always an exceedingly good option for PC's in RQ. For the good and...

    Has anybody seen any Duck?

    Thanks for the preview, I have got mine now and also am impressed with the quality of the writing (no- I'm not grovelling, I really am impressed). As the Duck will feature prominently in my campaign, (thanks also to Sceaptune Games), the breadth of background available has turned the race from...

    Has anybody seen any Duck?

    Has anybody actually seen Ducks yet? My copy is supposed to arrive this week and I wonder if anyone out there had an opinion on it, from having seen it. elgrin
