what great things is Runequest all about?

[burdock]

OK......so what is it that makes Runequest (past/present/future) so great?

Surely it is (some of this is from another thread):

ducks with feathers sticking outa their ass,

villages near shadows dance with sharp spikes sticking outa the rooves of the houses,

little newtlings pulling you outa the water singing "we will fix it, we will fix it, we will make it new new new!,

broos with projectile acid wee wee coming outa their ..ahem...,

dragons manipulating history to get lots of humans in one spot when they feel like a little snack.



The interplay between sharp realism and crazy, ridiculous, cartoony, humorous tomfoolery.

Little newtlings netting you, pulling you into the water singing"we'll drown it, we'll drown it!" (from the riverhorse watertemple scenario)

SGL.

sure they weren't singing "we will clean it we will clean it we will make it clean clean clean!" ?

And the Saggy, Baggy, old Newtling Idle yawned...
While Gabriel the Newtling high priest strummed his lute,
and Madeline the human cultist told the visiting Lankhor Mhy cultist he was nothing but stupid wooden book end with an annoying laugh...

and even walktapus, once he was asleep, was just an old, saggy cloth cephalopoid.
Baggy, and a bit loose at the seams.

It's the runes man! The runes!

These wouldn't be Newtonian Mechanics, would they?

And is the world ready for Gloranthan surrealism?

You forgot about stopping off at the local Thunderbreath's for some battered fried pixies and drive carefully wine after a hard days fight
