Just a short follow-up ... Kravell's off-hand mention, above, of Signs and Portents got me searching, and I managed to find the free, downloadable versions of the magazine here on the Mongoose website (you can't look for something if you don't know it exists). Anyway, I now have a bunch of...

Once again, thanks to everyone for all the freely-given wisdom. It helps a lot, folks! I find myself wishing that I could've scored a PDF copy of Fisticuffs At O'Malley's myself, since being able to look at how an action-friendly introductory MRQ adventure works on paper would also be helpful...

Hello all, I've had some time to mull the responses to my original post which started this thread, and here's where I'm still unsure as to whether the MRQ rules are the right fantasy rules set to audition for my long-time gaming group. Please note: I am not criticising the MRQ rules set here...

Whew! Thanks, weasel_fierce! For a while there, I thought maybe my internet connection was down! Hahahaha! Oh, wait, that's not the proper internet response is it? I'm supposed to counter with something wholly irrelevant, yet completely vicious, right? :P I'll pass. I've come to notice that...

Wow -- the troops really rallied while I slept! And no one has insulted me yet -- are you sure we're on the internet here? :D Seriously, though, thanks to everyone who took the time to post ideas while I was being a wussy mortal and sleeping. I intend to post further replies to individual...

I do genuinely appreciate the input, Rurik, but as I said to Weaselfierce, I'm not convinced that the Gloranthan staples of surrender and ransom are necessarily elements I want to feature in the first MRQ "audition" game for my gaming pals. Since my game world will likely be an alt-Glorantha...

Thanks WF! Your comments regarding what to look for when assessing possible opponents is exactly the sort of thing I was hoping to see. Perhaps other posters will have additional things to add, but even if they don't, your points give me a practical means of deciding "how tough is too...

Hi, Since I'm an MRQ n00b posting a question here, anyway, I thought I'd mention that the Mongoose policy of making free preview PDFs of their products available for download really does work. I bought the Lankhmar Swords Against Sorcery PDF over at RPGNOW on a flyer. I like Lieber; I liked...

Howdy, Although I've followed RuneQuest since the days of the visually-impressive AH boxed sets, this latest Mongoose edition looks to be the one I can finally use with my long-time gaming group. The rules mechanics seem to be exceptionally fluid, streamlined, and sensible this time out, and...
