MOB Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 One of people who tried out the playtest version of new RuneQuest at the Chimerades convention in France earlier this year has written up his impressions. A lot certainly got covered in just a few hours! http://2ndage.blogspot.com.au/2016/06/runequest-4-first-impressions.html 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mankcam Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 (edited) That's a great insight into how the Runes actually influence game play, and how detailed the new char gen is. I really love both of these aspects It all sounds really great, however I'm not sure if I want every adventure to be monumental. To that effect I will be happy if there definitely is an option for less skilled beginning characters who start off just fending villages from petty raiders or sand boxing their way around the region like in classic RQ. I don't mind the default characters being experienced, it probably will work well for published campaigns which could take the characters right into the major events of the early Hero Wars. I also don't mind using Sacred Time as a flavoursome way to mark downtime, it's very much like the old KoDP PC game and like Pendragon, so you kind of know you'll be playing in one of Stafford's worlds. Just as long as you can have an alternate option for less experienced characters then I'm pretty happy with most the things I have read so far with CRQ4. I would have given almost anything to have been in Jeff's play test!
