I love RQ and HQ but I have been thinking about adapting Hero to play in Glorantha. What I need to do first is identify what makes Glorantha Glorantha and...
Recently I had worked on a Conversion article between Hero and Atlas Games "Over the Edge" where I broke down the "Major Traits" into a Crunchy System Like...
... I'm not up to the detailed conversion yet. I was thinking of how to present it to the players and use teh Hero System to do that (I don't think I'll just...
This all seems fairly reasonable on the characteristics side. With regard to skills, why not convert simply convert the 3d6 bell curve equivalent into a...
... Yeah, but at this point Mongoose is being very cagey. There's a good possibility that their new "RuneQuest" will be more like HeroQuest than the real RQ;...
Pete, I have a copy of the latest Mongoose RQ Playtest rules. It is VERY much like Runequest 2/3. It uses the seven characteristics, although they aren't sure...

From what I've seen of the combat rules though, they've gone the way of a cheesey & simplistic Wargame. It's almost as if they're trying to appeal to the...

I second Corey's suggestion. The yahoo group is, I believe, an open group. Just search for Runequestpt (all one word) and you'll be there. When I joined a few...
I sent in an email asking to be on the playlist & never heard back from them, so I haven't found them to be responsive. As to the cheeseyness, perhaps I'm...

Hi Does anyone have a complete collection of the late Maruice Bayke's House rules. I only have seen the magic section. It seemed to be an extention of the RQ4...
I'm not sure who Mongoose wants feedback from. They seem to only wanted it from "invited" playtesters -- whoever that is. Not sure why they have a public...
I became a playtester by emailing them a few weeks back when they were asking for volunteer playtesters. Don't know what criteria they used for screening, if...

Don't know what criteria they use either. I applied but never heard from them again. At least they got rid of that godawful idea about rolling over your skill...
Drop a reminder to Matt that you would still like to be a member. It appears that he's adding new members to the group as new versions of the rules are sent...
I never heard back either. I'm glad they ditched that idea. And I hope they ditch the D% + Skill idea too. What could be more intuitive than rolling under a...
Well, to each his own I guess. But rolling "under" a percentage is no more intuitive or better than rolling "over" a percentage. As long as you still dealing...
I've been reading some of the responses from the playtesters and it looks like they are slowly butchering RuneQuest. As much as I had hoped it would improve,...
