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. Tom Granvold Tymshare Cupertino, Calif.
