Noita Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 So there's one out there, about to be run by Jeff, which involves the Rainbow mounds, Tusk Riders, Dwarves, Dragonnewts and Dragons, set in 1625. Will this be released at the same ime as the new rules? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

styopa Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Gotta honestly say, I'm a little surprised at the lack of comments from anyone at Eternal Con? If copies of the quickstart are already going around at the con, it might not be unreasonable to get the pdf out to those running games in 2 weeks? I know I certainly wouldn't mind as much time as possible to prep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soltakss Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 (edited) They are probably too busy gaming and circulating.

I think it was a "preview" or "sneak peek" or some such: look-and-return (or fondle-and-return, as the case may be); not actual "copies circulating." OTOH. I agree that if there ARE copies "circulating" now -- however limited the circulation (i.e. single-Con distribution) -- then I too would welcome a PDF for the Free-RPG-Day GM's...

No copies can be given out until free rpg day (unless you are doing the GM thing for the day). Then like the Cthulhu QuickStart it can be downloaded for free or bought from the website.

That's exactly, what was told to us during Eternal Con. I was lucky enough to participate in a "Play Test" of the upcoming Runequest Quickstart GMed by Jason Durall - and it was explicitly stated, that this was a play test game, because they are not allowed to give out the end product before the official Free RPG Day. I missed the new Apple Lane adventure completely (too busy with other topics), so I be would interested in a published version too ...

If not specifics, then general impressions? Did the 'updates' improve the RQ2 rules? Play quickly but still feel like RQ should? Very curious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the 'updates' improve the RQ2 rules? Play quickly but still feel like RQ should? Very curious. In fact I'm not the right one to tell you for different reasons: this was my first Runequest session after a long, long time (probably around 30 years) ... I thought and still think the story and the Gamemaster as well as the players are more important than the used rule set ... during the last years I concentrated on HeroQuest Glorantha, because that's supporting my approach to role playing games so perfectly ... But besides that: as far as I can say, yes, it felt like Runequest, in fact even more so, because Runes played a much more important part than in previous versions (as far as I remember ). So the 'updates' (that I could identify) improved the rules. And it definitely feels very Gloranthan, which makes it very attractive to me. Fighting did not take too much time and was overall short and effective (if not to say deadly, because it was not in all cases ). The pre-generated characters in some cases gave me a suprisingly new view on how to define certain character types like Lhankor Mhy sages or Ernalda priestesses (but that may be just my personal view). The history of the pre-generated characters was created using the new rules for character history and gave them a background, which made them immediately more interesting. The new passions did drive the actions of some of the characters, which supported real role playing. Overall it was real fun to play through this scenario. So I liked it and I will definitely give it a try as soon as the rules are available. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a note, I haven't seen the Howling Tower, but https://armchairadventurerblog.com/2017/06/05/1-d-6-runequest-glorantha-play-test/ seems to have some pretty solid spoilers. (One should expect that in a recap of a session, but just making it explicit) From the other: "18 CHA is needed to become a Rune Lord." - er...?

Dimbyd Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 There are some slight spoilers, but there's nothing I can't alter when I run the session again- remember it's not the quickstart adventure. Much of what Chris focussed on was things I used to to expand the scenario. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Often, the role of "Rune Lord" is the same as being a leader of the community, so the high CHA may be required by (some) Cults. Maybe something specific was over-generalized; or maybe not. Easy enough to HR, if desired! 1 Quote C'es ne pas un .sig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, it's a castle on a hill overlooking the Rhine, so if there's a time to put the glowing screen down... it's then. Copies weren't floating around. I haven't seen a print copy yet, and they're due to arrive in Europe sometime later this week.

There was a photo posted by MOB on G+, showing a physical copy of the QS booklet; apparently there were exactly *2* copies on hand... *NOT* being distributed (but that wasn't clear from the original photo posted, so some of us understood there to be stacks of 'em being given out...) . As noted, though, FreeRPGDay GM's have their PDF's, and are already nitpicking. Me, included... love it, nitpicking it.

Exactly 2, although many people spent a lot of time "reviewing" the copies. I didn't even get to take one home :-) Free RPG day has strict rules on the products that are involved in their days: "You can't sell them or release them prior to the event. Nor can you require a purchase from a customer to get an item. The only exception is for people running games in your store. Obviously, your GMs need to have read the modules they're going to run."
