ShawnLStroud Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 All: It looks very much like Runequest is making a comeback at Gencon this year! If you're going to Gencon, and you want to play Runequest, you have several opportunities. The Anarchy: Friday at 8:00 pm Broken Tree Inn: Friday at 6:00pm; Saturday at 6:00 pm The Captured KIng: Saturday at 2:00 pm Novum Eburacum: Thursday at 2:00 pm The Taking of Talford: Thursday at 1:00 pm; Friday at 1:00 pm As a first-time Gencon GM (I'm running The Taking of Talford), I'm excited to see how things turn out for us all. I invite any and all of you to join me or any of the other Runequest GMs for a fantastic game! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baragei Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 It is interesting to note that all the events are RQ6 - which will, at the time of playing, no longer be the official RuneQuest. Weren't Chaosium planning on showing off the new RQ7 at GenCon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnLStroud Posted May 10, 2016 Author Share Posted May 10, 2016 Belgath: I've wish listed you, as well! Looking forward to seeing how it all shakes out. One of my frustrations last year was the paucity of Runequest games available -- hence my putting a game together for the Con. See you, one way or another, at the table!

Weren't Chaosium planning on showing off the new RQ7 at GenCon? Baragei: Back in January, when I put together my game for the convention, I had no idea RQ6 wouldn't be the official Runequest. Gencon requires an event planner to commit to a course of action very early in the year in order to publish a (fairly extensive) guide to the con in magazine format (seriously, the thing is massive -- with TINY print). To my knowledge, as I was entering the details of my games for the con, the decisions that lead to Chaosium developing a new edition of the game that more closely adhered to their best version hadn't even been made. That said, I sincerely HOPE their latest version of my favorite game is available at Gencon; I've laid money aside to purchase it -- and have been following their blog to get an idea of where they're going with the development! Hope to see you there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baragei Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Chances are that you won't see me there, the investment and travel time across the pond are a wee bit on the heavy side. And by all means, having RQ6/Mythras exposed like this is great. I just hope Chaosium, for their own sake, has a leaflet ready for the wut's of people coming from your games to their stand.

Eric Christian Berg Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I admit that I was a bit disappointed that there were no Chaosium RQ events on the schedule, just the seminars. I was really looking forward to trying out the new version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belgath Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 With all the different version of RQ and BRP I always taken the parts I like and moved forward RQ6 is my favorite so far to jest strikes the right balance for me. But with that being stated I will continue to buy all the new RQ stuff love Glorantha and The Mythras products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too, I'll continue to buy all the Mythras stuff as well. (Their rule book and mythic britain are just such gorgeous and quality books.) Most of my Glorantha RQ2 adventures have been RQ6 adventures repurposed to RQ2 Glorantha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belgath Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Jest an added note at GenCon I will be using the Classic Fantasy supplement. With the RQ6 rules. If there is enough interest I have a copy of the AIG rules so I could add a Glorantha RPG session Thursday morning or Sunday morning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But with that being stated I will continue to buy all the new RQ stuff love Glorantha and The Mythras products. Probably the healthiest view point. I've never understood the "I have to take a side!" tribalism, whether it's between RPG rule sets, favorite MMO, or local sports team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belgath Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 It seems that Gen Con is a bit nervous about the number of Runequest game runing this year do to The lack of events in the past so I hope there's a good showing. Have always been surprised that RQ BRP etc. etc. has not been more popular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belgath Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Well maby GenCon will allow more events as that filled up fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruelDespot Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 I was lucky enough to get into "The Taking of Talford" Thursday at 1pm and "The Anarchy" Friday at 8pm. Looking forward to both! The others looked good, too. I had them all in my wish list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are having a panel to go over it, walk through the rules, etc. I'm not going to run a session of it, as running games at GenCon is not a very good use of my time (much as I'd like to do it). 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belgath Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Have signed up for all your panels at least advertised events. I'll be there all four days looking forward to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jongjom Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 @Belgath Any chance of a blog of report from GenCon assuming you are talking about going to these events:? https://www.gencon.com/event_finder/Category/Seminar/Host/Chaosium?ag[]=un&ag[]=eo&ag[]=tn&ag[]=ma&ag[]=tw&exp[]=no&exp[]=so&exp[]=ep&opt[]=ta&opt[]=hh That would be great for us unable to get to the other side of the pond. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
styopa Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Previous years Jeff's done a great job of youtubing his discussions of the Guide, hopefully that same plan is in place for RQ's discussion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Meints Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 (edited) We plan on recording all of Chaosium's 5 seminars at Gen Con this year. They are all in the Gen Con Event catalog, and are scheduled for Thursday and Friday evening. Edited June 1, 2016 by Rick Meints 5 Quote Hope that Helps,Rick Meints - Chaosium, Inc.

And will those recordings then be available on Chaosium website? errr... once you get back and have the necessary recovery time, of course! I ask because some events get pissy about "their" content (which paid attendee's got) being available "free" elsewhere.

Rick Meints Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 They will probably be available on youtube. That's where all the previous Gen Con seminars of ours have ended up being found. We have no concerns, qualms, or issues, with the seminar being distributed like that. It was free to attend. No exclusivity. 4 Quote Hope that Helps,Rick Meints - Chaosium, Inc.

No exclusivity. Aren't those seminars (at least nominally) limited to paid GenCon attendees? I was thinking the restriction would come from them, not you... But since the prior ones have gone up without objection, I see no reason to expect different this time 'round... Quote C'es ne pas un .sig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Meints Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Gen Con doesn't care what we do with our seminars, and has never said a word about it to us. 1 Quote Hope that Helps,Rick Meints - Chaosium, Inc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
