raymond_turney Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Hi, Greg Stafford asked for some notes on the development of RuneQuest, and I provided them. They can be found on his website at: Ray Turney RQ They are part of a larger series, including similar pieces from Greg and Steve at: RuneQuest Page My current project, Fire and Sword, can be found at: BRP Central - Downloads Hope you find them interesting, Ray, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaira Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 That's a great article Ray - thanks very much for writing and posting that. We owe you a huge debt for inventing battle magic and rune magic, plus those great examples throughout the rules! I used to read Rurik's saga again and again when I was first learning RQ in the early eighties - you're right, it made a *huge* difference to how quickly you could pick up the rules. Even now, thirty years on, BRP Fantasy (ie RQ++) is still my go-to system of choice. When you consider its contemporaries, that's outstanding. :thumb: Cheers, Sarah Quote "The Worm Within" - the first novel for The Chronicles of Future Earth, coming 2013 from Chaosium, Inc.

Fergo113 Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Got to echo Shaira's comments there Ray! Thanks so much for your hand in RQ I & II. I thought I would be lost forever in the D&D fantasy rpg system, but then I found Runequest and that changed everything. RQ I and II have been my mainstay in fantasy rpg ever since (for many years now). :thumb::thumb::thumb: Cheers Fergo113 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vile Traveller Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Like many others, Runequest II opened my eyes to what was possible in RPGs, not just fantasy but in any setting. I haven't looked back since - although playing many different systems over the years, I have yet to come across any simulation more elegant or adaptable. Thank you for being part of that! :thumb: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
