[weasel_fierce]

Is there any published Runequest info on the lunar religion and cults ? Especialyl as far as spells and such goes. Preferably RQ2 but anything will work.

Hi,

Bear in mind that Lunar, as in followers of the Red Goddess and her mates, cults won't show up in Mongoose's material as the Lunars appear in the Third Age.

However, many cults from the Lunar Empire are older than the Lunars. These have appeared in Mongoose's books and hopefully more will appear.

The following are un-official Lunar Cults published in RQ format in other resources...

Anything from Tales of the Reaching Moon is worth getting. 16 and 17 are Lunar issues, so they are a must for background information.

And, don't forget Moon Rites, which is also very good. For some reason, everyone forgets it. Pretty cover as well.

I can't think of any more off the top of my head.

If you have Understand HeroQuest Rules at more than 50% then the Imperial Lunar Handbooks are quite good as they detail a lot of the Lunar cults. Ignore the section on Illumination, as it is crap. Most of the stats can be converted to RQ fairly easily, with Feats becoming Divine Magic, Abilities transferring as skills and so on. Some Feats become skills or Spirit Magic/Runic Magic but you can work them out without much difficulty.

I would also look at Simon Phipps Heroquet to Runequest spell conversions and definetly buy a copy of the Imperial Lunar Handbooks 1 and 2.

My conversions are here but they haven't been updated for a while - not enough time, too much of a nagging wife. Hopefully I'll be able to add the Imperial Lunar Handbook deities, if I can work out what the new stats actually mean.

No one ever thinks of Moon Rites.

Best wait for CoG 2 and the new Shamanic magic rules.

GoG also detailed "Lunar Magic", which was Spirit Magic with Sorcery manipulation skills.
