I've got some fond memories of playing B&B. I think it'd be a natural fit for RuneQuest!

B&B is an odd game.
My sister ran a campiagn a few years ago for my kids, and her take on the setting was that the rabbits had to mostly act like ... well, rabbits. That meant no use of "hands" any more than rabbits could actually use their paws, etc. Under this type of style I'm not sure that there is any advantage in using RQ over any other dice mechanic.
If you decided to make them more humanized rabbits with more ability to manipulate items then perhaps RQ would be a decent fit.

Not sure what you mean by "funny" in this context. However, B&B could be run perfectly seriously - even if you allowed the rabbits to have hands.

Or how about The Rats of NIMH? That could be interesting.
The Albedo RPG was pretty good, but needed work.
It focuses on personalities and social interaction and handles those fairly well. But it did not handle action well, and vehicle combat quite poorly.
Likely the Socio-Psych-Intellect rules could be spliced onto another set of rules which did the rest well.
A good story-teller style referee could use it in a very enjoyable game (but that could be said of most any system).
Of particular note is that certain aspects were done "off stage" because the practical realities got in the way of the characters and story (e.g. how the penguin surgeon practiced his craft with no digits).
This shows conclusively that an RPG need not enforce practical limitations like making your rabbits use their mouth for manipulation.
Steve Gallacci's artwork was fantastic and the setting / back story fabulous, but the periodical was never published reliably.
That left a great many crucial elements of the world unknown, making it impossible to include any far-reaching story arcs in a campaign (without creating your own version of the world).
(IMO the second edition was poorer than the first.)

No, not in the least. I love Bunnies & Burrows and am aspiring to get arounfd to RuneQuest. I honestly had no idea the RuneQuest uses ducks as a race.Osentalka said:

Sadly yes. It has always been one of it's weaker points (officially called canard donaldus—need I say more!)
