The second installment of New Gamemaster Month is up - here RuneQuest creative director Jason Durall talks about the chosen adventure: “A Rough Landing”, from the RuneQuest Starter Set.

 

"We’ve picked this adventure because it’s a great introduction to Glorantha for new players and it was designed to be particularly easy on gamemasters running RuneQuest for the first time," says Jason.

This looks interesting. I think I've probably got the GM'ing part reasonably figured out, I've been doing it since '75. But I'm interested in the part with GM RuneQuest using the Roll20. I've been pondering switching to some sort of VTT. And who knows, I might learn something new after all. 

I noticed in the 2nd post, they link to your Call of Cthulhu package for Roll20. Is there any chance of a RQ package?

The third installment of New Gamemaster Month is up - here Jason Durall talks more about the setting (Glorantha) and the rules (RuneQuest).

 

"The most important things to take away from the rules reading is how to roll and read dice, the different levels of success, how to read a character sheet, and the concept of augments using skills, Passions, or Runes. Once you’ve got an understanding of how those mechanics work, most of the rest of the rules fall into place," says Jason.
