It's great to see RQ is back and getting played again, particularly in the setting of Glorantha...

...I'm eager to run a RQG game next year (after our current rpg campaign wraps up), and it's great to see pics of it at others' gaming tables! 😎

I agree wholeheartedly. Will that be IRL or an online game? If the latter, count me in!

"... than, ummm, a... A pencil?? Hehe...". <gulp>

 

(Edit: speaking of which, would a troll Lhankor Mhy scholar have a temple/library in The Castle of Lead Pencil?)

Totally off topic, but John Wick is renowned for killing 3 men with a pencil.

[EDIT]  Pencil skill at 150%?

Honestly just swap out the beast rune for shamans this will help make them alien compared to the rest of the village, which is what they are.  The core book has some gaps as far as rules and the runes we see right now is only the beginning, i have a feeling that as the game grows we will get more runes and how to add or swap runes in the characters soul.  Also we dont have rules for enlightenment/illumination wich im thinking will remove the one rune runs counter to another ie death and life, movement and stasis so on and so forth.

We decided not to swap out beast for spirit because that would set up an opposition between man and spirit which would lead to strange game situations where one was pitted against the other.

The spirit rune is associated with Daka Fal, though, as can be seen on p. 47 and 291 of RQG, so there really ought to be some game mechanic for it, no?

Thanks for the suggestions on how to use it, I'm pretty sure we can come up with a house rule that covers it. 👍

Thanks g33k.  I just wanted to say that I joined a RQG campaign last night and rolled my character and the GM showed me the Roll20 interface etc. I'm really looking forward to this.

Oh, excellent. Sounds like we may be team mates then.

Hey Szwagier, send me a pm maybe if an opening turns up.  I would be up for some older RQ.  Its been 2 weeks and I am still struggling to find anything online.  Sadly I am about to join a D&D campaign just to get back into roleplaying.  Its an older group of guys and I think its version 5e.  LOL I just want to play again : ) Being 55 you only have so much time left LOL 

Sure, I can do that. It's not up to me, of course, but to the GM. But I'll see what I can do.

Even in chargen, there's no space on the character sheet for the Spirit rune, which is as important for the shaman profession as it is for Daka Fal, the cult of which my character is an initiate.

1. Where would you put the spirit rune, if you would. And if you wouldn't, why not?

2. Corollary of q. 1. If not the spirit rune, where does the assistant shaman get his/her runic inspiration from when they want an augment?

Think that'll do for now. All suggestions of advice gratefully accepted.

I think there may be some activity on VTT sites like Roll20 or FantasyGrounds, but I don't know for sure.

 

I'm currently playing in 2 RQ: Glorantha campaigns on Roll20. Unfortunately they're both full at the moment, but you never know!

This is pretty much where I am right now. I discovered Runequest back in April and I'm pretty psyched about it. This Board has been overwhelmingly helpful in addressing my concerns.  But then things like this happen:

I was trying to be helpful here. And people are essentially indicating that I've committed some sort of Board faux pas simply by asking a designer for insight? It makes me feel like attempts to help aren't welcome. It makes me feel like I'm not part of the "Club."

Now, I may have misread the situation. That is the point. As a new player, I don't understand what those reacts mean. No one has ever reacted "Sad" to an attempt to help before. I'm an experienced gamer and I've always believed that it is incumbent on experienced players to work extra hard to welcome new players.

I'm not a newbie to Glorantha having started playing RQ in the early 80s, but I most definitely am a noob on these boards, and I'm still grappling with half-remembered rules from RQ2 and how they interact with RQG, so everything here is of intense interest to me.

From my perspective, I've found your input to always be most helpful, and I would echo others in saying don't let a couple of emojis put you off.

What an excellent creature. They should be added to the Bestiary.

Yeah, what's that about? The RQ:G cover is amazing.

Done! Can't believe RQG wasn't nominated for best cover.
