    No, it's the "we fixed the intentional mistakes just so we could charge you twice edition!"

    Character Conversion

    GP? As in 20 Silver Pennies (a wheel)? So you are talking almost 10,000 lunars worth of runes... an unheard of fortune for a second rate Broo... I wasn't aware there was going to be a separate spirit magic in the companion. The more I think about it, the more I want to scrap the physical...

    Character Conversion

    That didn't look too hard. A couple of questions: What is the value(silvers) of those runes? Can Spirits just "know" spells, or do they have to possess the Runes? I guess you would have to give it a RuneCasting skill too?

    Character Conversion

    Correct. That write-up is from a followup adventure to Apple Lane, so it's not meant to be super-deadly. And yes, there are write-ups for the Broo band (who are supposed to be a semi-intelligent group that has wandered into Sarter, not your typical feral broo or localized chaos horror)...

    Character Conversion

    Below is an enemy NPC as written from a previous edition of RuneQuest. This NPC is designed to be a major for an band of characters from low to intermediate experience. He leads a small band of Broos, and has the possibility of becoming a recurring opponent. So, how would you convert this to...

    Gloranthan Classics

    There are about 50 pages of stats to convert in Griffin Mountain, not a trivial task. We really ought to start a thread on conversion and work through some major PCs/NPCs.

    Combat... Make Sure You Have A Healer...

    I think we may have to wait for Magic of Glorantha at the end of the year for the application of the MQ rules to Glorantha, as it looks like the Second Age book will be more background material than system specifics.

    Combat... Make Sure You Have A Healer...

    Did you use any Rune Magic in the combat?

    Gloranthan Classics

    This is where I have been struggling in conversion -- it creates a plethora of runes floating around. A strong possibility is just to scrap the MQ RuneMagic system if you can get a copy of RQ2/3 and use the ould Battle/Common Magic system. Balazar was partially developed as a hideout location...

    Ralios PDF suppliment in a nutshell

    I think this illustrates my earlier comment about npcs with unknown secrets and lack of adventure hooks that tie in with the material. And yes, anything to do with mistress race trolls breaks the rules, but "bears fewer trollkin per litter" seems off-base IIRC as all multiple-births are...

    Immunity To Trollkin "feature" - any comments

    I was re-reading Apple Lane and found this interesting: What is RuneQuest? In RuneQuest, players create adventurers who explore an ancient world rich in magic. Everyone uses spells and anyone can be a warrior, equipped with cold steel and stout armor. The gods provide fantastic powers to...

    Ralios PDF suppliment in a nutshell

    There was really very little about the God Learners/EWF themselves -- mostly just veiled references to the Emperor or Master Plan. All of the Orlanthi stuff was just shades of what you find in Dragon Pass, with the different alliances -- instead of Pro-Lunar, Pro-Sarter and Don't Care, you get...

    MQ: Sequel or Remake?

    I originally asked this in a different thread, but it got flamed out before I was able to see any responses... A friend was out visiting the other weekend, and we are both movie buffs. At one point, she made a blanket statement that "all movie remakes are worse than the original." We debated...

    Immortal characters

    There are a bunch of immortals in Glorantha, but as a rule, they have to follow some pretty strict social code or they lose their immortality (which usually precludes them interacting with mortals). Stats are given for Ralzakark in Dorastor, Land of Doom, and he tops out around 350% in weapon...

    Ralios PDF suppliment in a nutshell

    The whole entry on Karia is rather disappointing, especially Adventures in Karia: "This is not a place of intrigue, mystery or complicated plot hooks. Aventurers in Karia find horrible monsters, fight them, kill them, and escape -- if they are not killed themselves" Maybe Dorastor and...
