It does not seem very realistic that a 21 years old adventurer has starting skill levels of 80, 90 or 100% - or even more! If the proficiency in a skill is measured between 0 and 100, how is it possible that any 21 year old warrior has achieved technical perfection in the handling of a weapon, for example?

I think the system is not well balanced, and maybe it would be necessary to re-establish the RQ3-limit of 75% + modifier.

good call, also helps dilute the 'good guys gods v the bad guys gods' you can get with separate books.

Thats very, very true.

Therefore, we can conclude that Chaosium has (wisely) chosen a Lunar-flavor theological approach...🌓

Initially that was what I thought I would do as well. But I started to put together the Heroquesting material, I realised I needed to have all the "core cults" in one collection. Otherwise it was just making more work.

Understood, thanks.

I suggest folk look at the list of cults I already posted.

The cults included are those necessary to tell what I think needs to be told. This is not intended to be every possible cult - but it is a big list.

Yes, precisely because I have seen several gods of chaos on the list I have asked the question.

And I asked, too, because in the book list that Jason Durall announced in The Kraken 2018 was included, according to The Runebloger, one with the provisional title of Gods of Chaos, along with God of Glorantha.

So, will there be a specific book for Chaotic Gods -something like a update of CULTS OF TERROR-, or all the information about them will be included exclusively in GODS OF GLORANTHA?

I see in the list some chaos gods. Was not a specific volume planned for them?

Is it confirmed that there will be an leathered-slipcase edition, too? Simultaneously?

IMO that's pretty confrontational?  And I'm a fairly confrontational person in the first place.

As far as I know they've been great about including edits in the pdfs, and then (insofar as possible) including the latest-possible version when it's submitted for printing.  I'd guess insofar as they're able, yes, they will... but the simple fact is a dead-Aldryami edition simply cannot keep up with the stream of edits, clarifications, and amendments we now have access to in 2019.  At some point you have to kick the product to the printer and say it's "done enough" to get printed.  

I have the first printing, and there's a ton of edits since then.  It's the price of being an early adopter.

Not trying to seem confrontational, but disquiet...

Will these all "clarifications" be included in the second printing, or the core combat rules of the game will depend on a thread of a forum?

I‘m starting to see a pattern here. Admit it, folks, you simply want RQG to be the most frickin‘ gorgeous RPG ever made... 😍

 

This!

So, the core system means a lot of ties.

And at the same moment could we order separatelly the Bestiary and GM Pack? What about leathered edition?

I am very confused. Exactly, how works the RQG system, as writen in the Core Book?

P. 142 "If both participants succeed, the winer is whoever achieved the best result".

But, p. 143 "Tie: (where both participants achieve the same type of success but roll the same number)". What these means?

And p. 230. Vasana rolls 74 in Air Rune (90%)  vs. 41 in Harmony Rune (50%), so "Air overcomes Harmony". Why? Isn't it contradictory with the rule in p.142?

Which is exactly the "vanilla system" when a tie is not an option?

I ordered on 20th (Spain) and still awaiting shipment... Can we expect for shipping on nearby dates or are we supposed to wait for weeks?

While stocks last. We have leatherette stock in all three warehouses, but there are only limited quantities. 

So, have you decided what exact time (GMT) will be available? I do not mind waiting until 3 o'clock in the morning to buy a leathered copy, if I am sure it will be available at that time.

Maybe I haven't ask the question clearly: can I buy the leather-bound edition on the 21st?

No need to delay. You can buy RQG hardback when it comes out, and then the RQ Bestiary + GM Screen Pack + Slipcase + a cardboard spacer exactly the same size as RQG when the next batch of things are available in print.

Ok, but will available on September 21st the leatherette cover version, or only the normal?

Only normal hardcover, or leather version too?

So...?

Reasons why I will not buy the set:

2D4, 3D6, 2D8, 2D10, 1D20

P.S.- And I really hate hate hate *tens* dices.

Allways leathered!

I wonder if the current rulebook pdf is the FINAL version or it will be updated before the printed version is presented in the GenCon...

Well, we'll buy the slipcase edition ANYWAY (... and they know).

So, the slipcase edition will contain:

- Core rulebook

- Bestiary

- GM Pack

but not GM Book.

Am I right?

Thank you.

Would it be possible that the next episode of Rune Fixes perhaps include a fully detailed example of a combat?  Something pretty complicated so as to illustrate as many rules IN PLAY as possible, ie Vasana and a dual-wielding buddy vs three trollkin, one of whom opens the combat with missile fire and continues firing into melee, etc.?

Please please please...!
