    Started playing white box in 1976. Found Chaosium and had a great time since. No company had a better nor more creative run than Chaosium in the early eighties.

  1. Back of the box: ”Book II: The Fabeled Realm” I’m assuming it should be “Fabled”.
  2. It is a lever. Swords are levers. A dagger is basically a short lever. A two handed sword is a long lever. They all magnify force in one way or another. Long spears will have more momentum than short spears.
  3. Think of a spear as a lever. Short handled lever isn’t going to do as much. Long handled lever does more, until it gets so long it’s unwieldy.
  4. Here are some screenshots of various pdfs I've purchased from Chaosium at 200%. One is taken from one of the Foes books and it is all right. Fangs looks fuzzy at that magnification, but in comparison it isn't as bad. It really suffers in comparison to the next shot taken from another item in the resource pack. The font scales up very nicely at 200% and it showcases the brilliant work that was done in getting these files converted. It's not just scanning and OCR. There's a lot of hard work in fixing each of these files. Decisions have to be made as to how they are paginated and presented as well. Does the back cover stay in the back? Years back I bought 2nd edition Call of Cthulhu from Drivethru and it had a blank page after every page of the map. Do you put a blank page in to preserve pagination and to keep facing pages intact? Some of the files do this and others do not. The Cthulhu file looks great and is probably a precursor of what is to come. However, the other file is scanned and OCRed without having the same level of care and detail. Of course, that care and detail take a lot of time. I try to award that care and detail by purchasing these files directly from Chaosium. My guess is that Cthulhu has gotten this love and attention the past couple of years, and I suspect that Pendragon (1st Edition and Companion?) may get that same type of attention in the years to come. At my age I am reading even more pdfs because I can increase the size of the print to make up for having weak eyes.
  5. Free is greatly appreciated. However, I am also very willing to pay for the quality of RuneQuest Classic pdfs. You all have outdone yourselves.
  6. Fangs is a poor scan though. It’s not the same quality as the recent Classic RuneQuest titles, and I’m assuming the Classic Cthulhu titles being kickstarted.
  7. Will these books ever be released in pdf? Masks, Legacy, Shadow, Rough Guide and Beyond were great books that have just disappeared. Wish I had kept and scanned them. thanks, scott
  8. Realize that this fell short in the Kickstarter, but aside from Foes and Fangs this is about all that’s left to have the entire line scanned and made available. Any chance this could happen? Thanks, Scott
  9. SoloQuest is out! Anything else in the pipeline?
  10. Any chance of these being brought back into print or being released in pdf?
  11. The mechanics of Runequest Glorantha now allow for the kind of passions and familial connections that exist in Pendragon. Given the success of The Great Pendragon Campaign, and that the course of the Hero Wars have been described in the Glorantha books, Will there be a Great Runequest Campaign?
  12. Humakt and the new Makarava maps. If the shirt was green and Humakt or the Death Rune was offset, I could wear the shirt in uniform.
