Runeblogger Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Very interesting, I hope James will do a video where Jeff goes into even more detail about this topic. 🙂 Quote Read my Runeblog about RuneQuest and Glorantha at: http://elruneblog.blogspot.com.es/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially to get into some of the questions surrounding game mechanics and why RQG didn't follow some of the 7thed Call of Cthulhu rules changes. (I can think of a couple off the top of my head, but it'd be cool to hear from El Jeff himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadDomain Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 (edited) Interesting video. From a world perspective, I am definitely in the camp of de-emphasizing Elmal and focus on Yelmalio = good, and de-emphasizing the Hero Wars/HeroQuest era and focus on the RQ2/RQ3 era = good, and demedievalize the west = good.

Agree - from my POV, collecting RQ3 at the time, the idea of a medieval west, and dark age Viking like orlanthi as was shown in the Glorantha boxed set, really grated with the Bronze Age ancient feel of what I thought Glorantha was about. Have to admit I lost a lot of faith with the setting because of that - but that’s in the past. Lovely to see RQG blossom now in such a well realised way. 100% on board. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid a bod yn dwp Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Also really interesting going back over the design diaries. I really appreciate the decisions the designers came to on RQG. It’s a great edition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
