I know many people potentially interested in RuneQuest will see this as a very good thing and will buy it when they wouldn't the three thin books. This is targeted at them, I wager. Personally, I'll be getting one to have it on my side of the screen while the core rulebook and companion will be...

Just like with the "true role-playing" expression, I do feel that "role-play" and "roll-play" are terms which mean widely different things for different gamers. Hence, these terms are IMO useless when we try to compare them. When saying "role-play vs. roll-play" I understand "playing to be...

:lol: Priceless...

I completely disagree. First, you have to define what "true role-playing" exactly means in this context. You haven't defined the term, so I am left with the impression that this is the old dead beaten horse of "role-playing vs. roll-playing", that somehow there are "mature games" and well...

It is designed with the idea that many SW players use the miniatures, yes, but the game does not require miniatures to be played. This is a common misunderstanding about Saga. From Jedi Counseling #104: Q: Is the new system really just a ploy to sell miniatures? Is it just a beefed-up version...

Cool! Got to get that one ASAP... :D

I'm a long-time GM of RuneQuest and long-time DM of D&D. I'm Cross-posting from ENWorld: I own MRQ, Glorantha books, Lankhmar... you name it. I even wrote an ENWorld review of MRQ. I'll get Elric of Melniboné RPG and Hawkmoon RPG ASAP (and own the previous editions, as well as a whole bunch of...

To answer to the OP, there's no need for a "Threat Level" system, because there are no levels. How do you know if some guy or monster would be an appropriate opponent to the PCs? Look at the stats of said monster/NPC and think of how this would play out in front of the PCs. That's about it...

Why not ALL the players, as in my idea above, where the Eternal Champion itself is absent or has been taken out or is a complete failure, and only the Companions remain as a result?

Indeed! You have to adapt canon data to be able to fit Glorantha into a Multiverse paradigm, no doubt!

IIRC, Jagreen Lern's stats in the Stormbringer RPG included these items, and were given different variations with different editions of the game. In one version, Jagreen Lern's Shield and Armor were Salamander-bound (Fire elementals mainly adding INCREDIBLE damage to these items). In another...

I guess that problem was highly relative to particular gaming groups, since in all my years of Stormbringer campaigning, all the players I know were always weary of using the services, let alone summoning, demons. Granted, I was the GM, but the point for me was that, well, these creatures were...

Surely. Now if we reason about Glorantha, the Hero Plane, the God's Plane, and so on being part of the same Sphere in the Million Spheres, we can come up with some elements that would explain why the multiverse's balance isn't known from Gloranthans. I think it's pretty clear that there's...

Hello everyone. I've been contemplating the idea of running an MRQ campaign using the concept of the Eternal Champion and Multiverse of Michael Moorcock as the base frame. What I'd like to brainstorm with you is the possibility to use ALL the published settings of MRQ into such a campaign...

I'm curious as to what the Game Master's Handbook would contain, whether it'd be practical tools, theoretical advice, specific inspiration... We'll see. I'm interested in all the books potentially, but most particularly in Slaine, RQ Deluxe and Blood of Orlanth. Then, I'm more likely to go for...
