Paid a bod yn dwp Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Clever picture well executed. I like the retro 50's monster movie poster vibe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Runeblogger Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 (edited) What will the Quickstart rules include exactly? How many pages long will they be? And what can you tell us about the scenario? Are these going to be available in stores outside the US during FreeRPGDay?

Except a cuirass shouldn't be flexible. At least not that type of curiass. Â It's still a nice cover though.

Beornvig Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Whoa whoa here, so Chaosium is releasing a new set of RQ rules? Based on what, RQ3? My group has been playing RQ3 for 25+ years, I'd love to see that continued, AH scorn aside, those rules were made by the Chaosium guys, and have served us well.

The RuneQuest Quickstart, at least the Free RPG day version (it may get tweaked over time) will be 48 pages, which includes an intro scenario with pregren characters. The scenario has its own thread. We are going to sell the Quickstart for many years to come. How many stores carry it long term we do not know, but it will be available on Chaosium.com for purchase. 4 Quote Hope that Helps,Rick Meints - Chaosium, Inc.

Well, the BRP DaVinci-cover QS is sold (in deadtree).  There are real costs to production & distribution! Most game-publishers do it this way, e.g. DM's "Mythras Imperative". I suspect the PDF will be very-cheap or even free; but I don't know that.  I'd be surprised if the printed/deadtree version were free (after Free RPG Day). Because costs!

Baragei Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Fair point. In my mind a quickstart is a (free) pdf. Dead tree Quickstarts is another matter. I will now go sit over here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Meints Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 The printed RQ Quickstart will be sold for a nominal fee that covers our costs.

I prefer deadtree for most of my gaming books. Â Even a "Quickstart," given that I'm likely to run it over and over again for different groups of newbies... To me, a "quickstart" is a stripped-down core ruleset + a few sample PC's and a quick adventure. Â PDF, deadtree, bleached lamb-intestine, clay tablet.... whatever.

Â Thanks Rick! I would like to second that! Since I've started my return to Glorantha nearly 2 years ago with the still overwhelming Guide I've acquired tons of PDF documents from Moon Design and later from Chaosium, and all of them were searchable (which is a big help in doing your own research in Glorantha) and printable - and in Germany we use paper formats in our printers, which differ definitely from the formats used in e.g. the USA. That never was an issue. So thanks from my side too! Edited March 22, 2017 by Oracle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
