Uz Guide Questions

[EricJ]

The section on Runes says:

When a troll character attunes a metal rune formed of lead, he gains the runic benefit listed in RuneQuest, as well as +5 Magic Points to his total score. This effect lasts as long as the rune is attuned. (p.61, col. 1)

The next page makes a similar statement about chaos runes. So, my question is, how does a character renounce one of his runes? Of course, he can die, but most players would hate the idea. One could have a dramatic scene where an enfeebled character sacrifices himself so his son could attune his runes. Or, the son could murder his father to the same end. Or consider Henry V removing his father's crown thinking that his father had just died.

More benign would be the GM running a HeroQuest where a character acts in the role of an uzuz who returns to a troll-chaos battle, throwing her chaos rune into a chaos maw to be destroyed, and fighting more chaos without the rune's aid. The difficulty of the battle should be proportional to the time the character possessed the rune. Rewards would include increased Persistence as the character gains confidence, immunity to chaotic fear effects, increased Influence as the character learns to inspire others to face chaos with him, or a lead mace that smashes a chaotic ability from an enemy when the character hurts the enemy with it.

Also, where are the Trollball rules? It was played in the God Time, if I remember correctly.

Not really a RQM answer, but have you seen the Trollball rules as played at Tentacles this year? Gregory Privat came up with an eminently playable set of rules and a small board that really worked.

Sometime, I'll post the copy of the rules somewhere. They are not based on RQ but are far easier to play than the earlier RQ2/3 versions of the rules.

Small board? Is that what you call a small board? Oh, I see. It is small from a Great Troll perspective!

Anyway, it did work. Next year I want to be the one who wins the "Feed the Bat" trophy!

I would like to see some good Trollball rules for MRQ.
