MOB Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 (edited) For Free RPG Day (June 17) we are seeking Gamemasters to run "The Broken Tower", the new adventure that comes as part of the RuneQuest Quickstart. We'd like you to pair up with a participating Friendly Local Game Store, or if there isn't one near you, any FLGS that's willing to let you run a game that weekend. You need to run at least one table of the adventure (runs 4-5 hours). In return, we'll grant you access to a PDF of the rules and adventure in the week before Free RPG Day, which you need to study and absorb in order to run a great game at the game store. Familiarity with any previous version of RuneQuest or BRP-based system would be helpful, but our 48 page booklet has everything you need to GM the session, including 5 pregen characters. Note: rules for Free RPG Day prohibit playing the game before that date, Saturday June 17th 2018 2017 (oops) Here's What To Do If You Want To Take Part! Find a retailer, preferably a participating FLGS, but you can play the game at any game store or similar venue. Contact them about running this adventure that weekend (June 17-18). Email Todd Gardiner, Chaosium's Director of Organized Play with the store details. While your at it, if you haven't done so already join the Cult of Chaos, our organized play and GM program (it's free). Todd will contact the store to confirm your table reservation and then add you to our GM team! The week before Free RPG Day you'll get sent the RuneQuest Quickstart PDF Edited June 12, 2017 by MOB fixed date! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean_RDP Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Since we have not seen the rules yet, can we ask about the use of miniatures? I know what I have done in the past, but is there an official rule or sidebar (1 sqaure or hex =1m etc..) A lot of the new players will likely come from that background so minis will make it more familiar to them. I will use minis regardless, just wanted to get a heads up on the official (if there is one)( rule. Thanks! 1 Quote Its 2300hrs, do you know where your super dreadnoughts are? http://reigndragonpressblog.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard S. Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 I'd do it, but I'm both out of town and ineligible for the Cult. Darn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorwen Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 I'm now registered and have a table reserved at my FLGS (At Ease Games, San Diego, CA.) for this. Now just trying to get the word out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
styopa Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 The Source Comics & Games, Roseville MN (St Paul) 4pm, 6/17. Already have at least 1 seat filled (out of 5 pre-gens), as well as a possible 1-2 more (my sons who'd be eager to play IF we don't otherwise fill the chairs). Come on & play! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pentallion Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Signed up at Tacoma games. They said they needed to verify at Chaosium first. Haven't heard back, but hoping this happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10baseT Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 I'm registered and have a table at Brookhurst Hobbies in Garden Grove, CA for Sunday June 18, noon - 4p. If anyone wants to attend, you can RSVP here with me. Just send me message. Looking forward to some good RQ fun. Thanks, Gil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
styopa Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Actually, after FreeRPG day, perhaps the following weekend or two, I may run another game at Dreamers Vault in St Louis Park, MN. I'd like to see how well the trial scenario and rules go, if it's swimmingly, then yeah. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g33k Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 (edited) I plan to run as much of it as I can... but possibly (hopefully?) transitioning to the larger Organized Play "campaign" that's been hinted-at. At the least, I hope to run the Quickstart at the "other" F-not-quite-Local-GS, some time after FreeRPGDay.

Zac Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 I was planning on running this but sadly the 17th is also the date that Games Workshop is releasing the 8th edition of Warhammer 40K so the store is booked solid. I will be running it at the store but I haven't got a date set for it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean_RDP Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 I am all set and ready for a full day. I hope the turn out is good. Quote Its 2300hrs, do you know where your super dreadnoughts are? http://reigndragonpressblog.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOB Posted June 9, 2017 Author Share Posted June 9, 2017 Following our call for Game Masters, we're excited that over 60 people have volunteered. This means next weekend we'll have mythic adventures taking place in game stores all across the world, including the USA, Australia, Canada, England, Scotland, Wales, Germany, Sweden, Spain, France, Portugal and Puerto Rico. Todd will be sending the GMs the PDF of the RuneQuest Quickstart shortly, so they can get themselves ready. http://www.chaosium.com/blog/runequest-worldwide-for-free-rpg-day/ 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
