RQ - Pirates

[Bjorn the Barbarian]

I just saw that Mongoose is going to be releasing a Rune Quest Pirates book. Is this a stand-alone book, or will you need the RQ book to use it. Also, is it a classic pirate campaign, i.e. based in the Caribbean, or in the RQ world of Gorantha (SP)?

I don't know the answers, but you might get more answers on the Runequest forum. That one gets more traffic than this forum.

You will need the main RQ rulebook for Pirates.

It is very much set in the Caribbean, but there are short sections for using it in other fantasy settings (even fantasy Caribbean pirates are an option).

(This is all gleaned from a brief perusal of a copy used to check layout prior to any printing run, so I can not go into any more details as I have not yet read it properly).

Thanks. Appreciate the info.

I went a little overboard gearing up for RQ Pirates.

First I thought, I need the Pirates book. Then I need the RQ rulebook and high quality GM screen. Now I'll probably want some extra weapons so Arms and Equipment. Ya know, there are probably monsters in the monster book that I can use.

Then I thought, I wonder what the seas of Glorantha would be like. I stopped after the main book there.

Oh and that adventure Rune of Chaos is only $10.00 USD.

I wonder when it'll all get here. Maybe I should have it dropped off at a friends house so my wife doesn't see it. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Oh and I have never played RQ so I have very little idea of what the rules play like. I'm trying to get into a game at Gencon though.
