ut RuneQuest that you
do not like? In particular, is the rules you do not like or is it
the world setting (Glorantha and the cults setting) that you do
not like? Please be specific.
3.) How well do you know RuneQuest? Have you read the rules? Have you
run a RuneQuest player character? Have you GM'ed RuneQuest?
If I recieve enough responces of interest, I will try to give a
summary. Thanks in advance to all those why reply.
I don't know how well known it is yet, but Chaosium have made a deal with
Avalon Hill. Avalon Hill will manufacture and distribute RuneQuest while
Chaosium will continue to develope it. The result is that RuneQuest will
become much more widely available. For the Avalon Hill version, Chaosium
is doing a major revision of the rules, to be called RQ III. From what I
have heard of the changes, it does not sound like am improvement. The new
combat rules sound good once some bugs are taken care of. The magic rules
may not fair as well. I will give more details of RQ III as I learn more
and if others are interested. RQ III ahould be available some time next
year.
