Miyamoto Musashi at the age of 20 was already an accomplished swordmaster and well on his way to becoming a legend.

I'd like to think both systems have their merits. My first exposure to the world of RPG was basic D&D way back in 1981 and since then I've probably played about 30 different gaming systems RQ2/3, Rolemaster, C&S, Aftermath, Bushido to name a few. I've been playing 5e for the past few years with a new group and have enjoyed it. Wizards of the Coast have produced a great product and should be applauded. That said the quality of RQG core book has set a new benchmark and I can't wait to get my hands on the slip case. I'm a huge fan of Glorantha/RQ and can't wait to introduce my group to it. The issue, as I see it is not about which system is better but is which is more accessible to the inexperienced player. To give an example I have just spent the last 3 hours going through character creation with one of my group explaining the in's and out's of RQG. He enjoyed the process yet at the same time being a little daunted by the complexity and completely freaked out with the lethality of combat. Compare that to 15 minutes character creation for 5e and the likelihood of death being an outside chance at best.

Agreed! sorry got caught up in the moment.

I normally don't post comments but I do check in everyday and enjoy reading every ones opinions, which I feel are insightful and considered. I do agree with most of the criticisms about the logo (especially the E's) and it does sort of remind me of ElfQuest, that said, seeing it in the full layout my concerns are abated. Good work. Now to the real reason I've been compelled to post. I'm not on twitter myself but really? Titillation? If you're offended by a woman showing a little midriff on the cover of a make believe game in a make believe world? Maybe this hobby isn't for you. Does make me laugh though, pointed out the fact that it's wrong to objectify womanhood but nay a word said about Orlanth being half naked. Double standards or what?

Will you be posting where these will be played for those of us that need the locations? Hope so :-)

Thanks

In the new RuneQuest will the non-human races have Family Background History? or are they non-specific?
