He's not a black sheep that's for sure!

I would suggest to compare the bonus you provide with a bladesharp spell
do you consider that passion provides once a day / week bladesharp 2/3/4 during a full scene is enough, too much or too little ?
Personally I consider that a true passion would give more than a 6 points spell but only if the situation fits really and directly the passion
But that should be seen in a bigger perspective (I give less crystal / matrix / spirits than others I think )
I think it is the flexibility that is the key. Few Spirit magic spells aid in non combat situations this can. You are right, too much too little is a problem, and how many Passions Elements can you use a day/time period? Some limit needs setting.

My own personal idea is having a bonus = passion or rune whatever/5 useable once a day/week?, split among any skills the player likes during one scene. Rolls are made if the DM calls for them or the player does. The DM ones having much more impact than the player ones.

There's a limited pool of GMs, I suspect those that would run online are now going to attend in person.
Thanks, that was kinda my guessish too.

Does anyone have any house rules they use for the bonuses give for these two? The swings are potentially very large and I was wondering if anyone used them more moderately?
Thanks for your time. -
Ok, a while ago there was content at/on Virtual Con for Runequest, but now there is none, it's not that it is full as far as I can see, was there some problem that I missed in an announcement? I didn't get any real response on the RQ forum so thought this might be more suitable.
It seems a bit weird that something as big as this [GC=, has no RQ, which has had at least a fair representation at the last few.
Has Cthulhu [the monster], been coming at things from a different angle, brooking no opposition in its bid for world domination?
I was looking forward to doing some online stuff. :( -

Just one, on Thursday. Sold out at this point.
Are you thinking of Gen Con, rather than Gen Con Online? Could you screenshot, please?

Did I miss an announcement?

My votes for Glorantha would be Dorastor (you're gonna need cure chaos wound and psych therapy), The Underworld (you start by being dead), and that place in Pamaltela with all the giant monsters (om nom nom).
My votes for Dragon Pass would be Hydra Valley (om nom nom), Upland Marsh (you're gonna drown), and the Earthshaker Temple (tourists double as sacrifices).

Argrath does not become the next Belintar, or does he?
I can't think of anyone worse, except Hurrek, taking over.
Like putting a small handed, bequiffed, narcissistic billionaire in charge of the White House... -

Lots on Androgeus
Can we just not use 'they' all the time, when talking about 'them'? It makes life a lot easier.

I noticed this a little while back and I thought it must be a glitch as I saw some initially before sign up was possible.
No RQ at all at Gen Con online? -

in narrative you can see at the Battle of Pennel Ford where the massed Sunspear fails to eliminate Harrek.
A superhero can singlehandedly win against the flank of a set-up battle. A hero like Argrath may be the equivalent of a full military unit with his closest retainers, but that's one order of magnitude less than a superhero.
Did Arkat start out as a superhero? Probably not, but neither did Harrek or Jar-eel. At which point did Arkat become a superhero?
And does Argrath being one of the five Arkats for Ralios mean he had a chance to get there (provided he united with the other four)?
Someone needs to sneak into his tent when he's having a shower, steal that rug of his!
It's all very well talking in boardgame terms, that doesn't translate well to an RPG.
Re Androgeus. I wasn't suggesting that having a second SH was unbalanced in of itself. Position on board, recruit cost et al, would be a factor. -

No, I don't think he is.
What is the difference?
He does effectively end a world, which is Soops kind of material. -

In WBRM, the game that introduced the concept of superheroes, Cragspider clearly is "just a hero", although with an extreme exotic magic ability and a pet dragon.
It's a pretty narrow range by that criteria, and one hopes was modified by game balance?

Mind you that means I'd have to write up new skills like: Navigation, Do Pirate Accent....
Which would mean I'd have to do a Pirate profession, and sea monsters.
before you know it I'll have written an entire book.......😄😆Go for it, get your name in lights!

So I was thinking about the different between superheroes and heroes that Jeff laid out in recent Facebook posts and it got me thinking about who is a superhero, so I tried to make a list:
Jar-Eel
Sedenya, prior to becoming the physical red moon
Arket
Harrek
YelmgathaBelintar
The Only Old One
Godunya, or maybe we should count him exclusively as a dragon?
Sheng Seleris
Zzabur, was/is definitely one but would have achieved it through very different means
which are the ones I am missing and/or mistaken on?
Argarth by the end of the Herowars.

These two really count as gods or demi-gods, not superheroes.
Is that a step up or a sidestep? I understand the OOO not being one, but doesn't Belintar's actions get him there?

Most of those listed are not superheroes. I'd have a very short list -
Arkat
Errinoru
Yanafal Tarnils
Harrek
Jar-eel
Androgeus
And that's probably about it. The Only Old One, Belintar, Godunya, etc. are not superheroes.
CragSpider?

They will contradict a lot of Jonstown Compendium material and, for me as a GM, that is also great. I'll have two sets of material to use and can pick good ideas from both.
For example, the HeroQuesting material will be very different from mine. If Chaosium redid Dorastor, it would be very different from mine.
HeroQuesting is different, it's not a place, but a rule system.
I doubt they will ever go back to Dorastor, they've shown absolutely no inclination so far, but if they did, you could always submit a manuscript. 🙂
What is more likely [but still unlikely] is people covering stuff that Chaosium is going to/has already covered. Stuff like the timeline of the Hero Wars. -

What's disingenuous is to misquote me. I wrote that there has been no cults book for this edition. And there hasn't been. You really think players and GM's should have to find information in White Wolf and supplements from 40 years ago? And then adapt it to the current rules? I don't agree.
The rest of your response is just disrespectful, for no reason I can readily see. If the short form write-ups and Orlanth is plenty for you, that's nice. It's not for me, and I don't think it is for a lot of other Runequest fans.
I'm sorry, You are right. There Have been no long form for this edition, but Chaosium say [and pretty much everybody agrees] that the New edition was, by design, close enough so that the Old RQ2 and 3 cults needed little to no tweaking to be fully compatible with RQ:G
All you need do is to go to the Chaosium site and have a look at the products there. Almost all of the long form cults that have been produced By C over the years are available there. In PDF if nothing else. And a great collection it is.
Orlanth and his associate cults [just the spells they give him] provide everything you could ever want from a god, really, any of the blind spots could be filled in with skills. You can play a bookish Orlanth, a berserking Orlanthi, a thievish Orlanth, a charming Orlanthi, a steadfast Warrior Orlanth [in fact one character could play them all, in turn if they wanted, he's that bloody versatile] pick a character type he can do it.
Disrespectful to who? I'm sorry I said 'You' when I meant 'One', but I'm wondering why you got so annoyed about me insulting a made up god?
I was pointing out his all round singing and dancing ability, not the dirtiness/or not of your bum.
With Cults of Prax, which doesn't just deal with Prax incidentally, you have a bucket load of Long Form, for what? $12.95.
The cults book is going to set you back probably $200+postage and is seasons away. So, y'know.
Spells for Odayla
in RuneQuest
Posted
You want more than one of Orlanth's special spells [the one he gives to Odayla], you will need to initiate into Orlanth [same for Ernalda], and pay the tithes. You only get the spells Odayla description says they get otherwise.
