MOB Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 (edited) The latest RQ Classic release is Rune Masters, and this new version restores material previously cut from the original (after Chaosium "decided to compact the material into a $5 size book instead of an $8 size book"). Only 36 years later, Rune Masters is published as the original author William Keyes intended it to be, with the colorful biographical notes he'd written for each of the 45 characters described in the book!

Guest Vile Traveller Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 I always wondered whether someone noticed part-way through illustrating the title text, "Oh, crap. Masters. It's Rune MASTERS ..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have included that article in this version. Plus I got permission from John T. Sapienze Jr. to include his review article. Those will be in the revised version due out shortly. 6 Quote Hope that Helps,Rick Meints - Chaosium, Inc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atgxtg Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Ka-ching! 5L off to the Chasoium. You Issaires types really know how to sell a deal. Haven't seen or heard anything about "Mr. Character Sheet" since HEROES magazine. 1 Quote Chaos stalks my world, but she's a big girl and can take of herself.

g33k Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Yeah. I didn't pledge for it, but it's looking like I shoulda/woulda, so now I gotta go buy it after-KS. Quote C'es ne pas un .sig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mankcam Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 (edited) Besides the Sapienza article, I wonder how much is different from the Runemasters section from Gloranthan Classics: Borderlands & Beyond? I have that in print and pdf form, so I'm a little reluctant to pay for the same content again. However it will be very handy for those who missed the Gloranthan Classics compendiums.

That basically leaves all the forms used in the "Complete the X section" references (e.g. RuneMaster character sheet, Squad sheet, etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And at $5, it's not going to break anyone's wallet. Ya know, I think that if they could actully go with 1980s pricing, RQ would make a killer comeback just because it wouldn't cost all that much in today's market. But then, I suppose the days of $12 rulebooks, with minimal setting, scattered line art, and mediocre typeface are long gone.
