	Ultimate RuneQuest Resources - The Best RuneQuest Resources on the Net!
		RuneQuest is a fantasy roleplaying game in which you play fantasy-world adventurers, also called characters, helping them to live their lives.
		We also call upon all Runequesters that do not have a website, to create one when possible, so that they can share their ideas with all of us if desired.
		RuneQuest and Issaries are the registered trademarks of Issaries, Inc., and are used under license.

	RuneQuest - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		RuneQuest was the original percentile die-based and skill-based rule set, which ushered in an era of Simulationist RPGs.
		Runequest also eschewed the DandD system of experience points and character levels, by which a very experienced fighter might be able to withstand, say, ten times as much combat damage as a neophyte.
		Runequest's "normal" Battlemagic were much less effective in scope and were tailored to adding up to 20% chance of hitting an opponent with a weapon, up to 20% chance of avoiding it or some minor healing.

	Heroquest
		Runequest (for those unfamiliar with it) is one of the old-time gaming systems set in Glorantha, a very original gaming world designed by Greg Stafford, Sandy Petersen and a cast of, well, if not thousands, quite a lot of people.
		Runequest characters tend to start with similar skill sets and have many generic skills which are subsumed into "everyman skills" in Hero system.
		In Runequest trolls take double damage from iron weapons - AFTER armour and protective spells: this proved a little difficult to model, given that normally vulnerability is caluculated before defences: in which case, even a heavily armoured troll would probably die the first time he met someone with an iron weapon.

	The History of RuneQuest
		The RuneQuest audience had begun to split between those who saw RuneQuest as a mere vehicle for discussion and exploration of the world of Glorantha, and those who saw Glorantha as one good (but not indispensable) setting for an outstanding FRP rules system.
		For a short time RuneQuest was on the verge of national infamy; members of the RuneQuest discussion list and publishers of RQ sites were contacted by reporters from major newspapers, who seemed to be under the impression that RQ was some sort of exciting Internet sex cult (they were quite disappointed by the truth).
		RuneQuest and the world of Glorantha, which had been joined at the hip for twenty years, were finally separated from each other as commercial entities.

	RuneQuest
		RuneQuest is another of the "older" roleplaying games that my players and I remain fond of despite its' alleged death.
		They also detached RuneQuest from Glorantha quite nicely, slanting rather towards a generic pseudomediaeval environment (a sort of neutral for DMs to write their own world) or the Alternate Earth packs which appeared at the same time from the original publishers, Avalon Hill.
		RuneQuest was then given a break for a considerable time in favour of Traveller, and Stormbringer, but eventually the desire to run it again bubbled up and I looked around for something to run; we'd "done" Vikings and were all ex-re-enactors by this point.

	JoT Game RuneQuest
		Still, there are two aspects of the RuneQuest system that I do not use in my RPG designs, and damage-absorption armor is one of them.
		RuneQuest 3rd edition added a host of modifiers to address environmental or circumstantial factors.
		Character brittleness is especially pronounced in RuneQuest, where hit points are almost static, hits are applied to individual hit locations (each with a fraction of total hit points), and criticals and impales let you unpredictably get past armor.

	Runequest Review
		Runequest is set in an earlier time of bronze weapons and armor, and heroic individuals leading bands of followers on bold adventures.
		While Runequest's default world is Glorantha, the authors encourage players to use the rules for other worlds if they choose.
		Over the years, I have kept Runequest at a distance, mainly because I was sure I'd love it, and I'd have to spend all kinds of money to collect the system.

	"RuneQuest: Slayers"? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-09)
		RuneQuest was the first Gloranthan roleplaying game, published by Chaosium in the late 70s.
		RuneQuest Slayers was, unless I am mistaken, an attempt to publish a roleplaying game using the name RuneQuest.
		Runequest: Slayers was an attempt to use the Runequest name to positivly brand a new game from AH that had little to nothing to do with either Glorantha or the old Runequest system.

	Glorantha Magazine Indices
		The Book of Drastic Resolutions, produced by Stephen Martin, who also edited the RuneQuest supplement Lords of Terror, was originally seen as a place to collect much of the information that did not fit into the Avalon Hill book.
		The New Lolon Gospel is the fourth(!) RuneQuest fanzine.
		The RuneQuest fanzine world saw a huge surge in the mid 1990s thanks to the RuneQuest Renaissance then going on at Avalon Hill.

	The History and Resurrection of RuneQuest!
		The elegant simplicity of RuneQuest II had been lost in an elaborated and expanded game, of which some was good and some was bad.
		The confusion over RuneQuest over the years which is all documented in the mists of time, which meant that this truly legendary game became its own tragedy.
		The simple reality is that a new edition of RuneQuest will not be able to challenge Dungeons and Dragons in the way that it did in the early 80s and provide innovations to the entire industry.

	HEROquest — Hero System Runequest II Conversion
		In Runequest trolls take double damage from iron weapons — AFTER armour and protective spells: this proved a little difficult to model, given that normally vulnerability is caluculated before defences: in which case, even a heavily armoured troll would probably die the first time he met someone with an iron weapon.
		In Runequest Aldryami take double damage from iron weapons — AFTER armour and protective spells: this proved a little difficult to model, given that normally vulnerability is caluculated before defences: in which case, even a heavily armoured elf would probably die the first time he met someone with an iron weapon.
		The joke is just that when Runequest (which used to be owned by Chaosium) was bought out by (I think) Avalon Hill, they took the system and genericised it, calling it "heroquest".

	RuneQuest:Slayers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Slated for a 1998 release, RuneQuest: Slayers, did not resemble the original Runequest in regards to rules or its original setting of Glorantha.
		After one of the early creators of "Runequest IV" had an unfortunate incident with a potential for bad press, Avalon Hill hired new designers on the project to start over with a fresh approach.
		RuneQuest: Slayers was destined to never see the light of day.

		In addition, Mongoose Publishing is expected to release a new game called "RuneQuest" in June 2006, under a license from Issaries, Inc., and "developed under the watchful eyes of Messrs Stafford and Perrin".
		Steve Perrin, one of the authors of the original RuneQuest game, later developed a similar system known as Steve Perrin's Quest Rules, which some RuneQuest fans consider to be a successor to the original game.

		Support for the new RuneQuest will come thick and fast throughout 2006 with the addition of the RuneQuest Companion, RuneQuest Monsters, Legendary Heroes, the Glorantha range and an all new setting that uses the core rules.
		Perhaps the best news of all is that RuneQuest will be an Open system, meaning that publishers and players alike will be free to produce their own derivative works, using the RuneQuest rules and logo, for publication.
		More details on the Open nature of RuneQuest will be released towards the end of this year, along with details on how existing publishers (paper or PDF) can get their hands on a copy of the RuneQuest Development Kit.

		Although much of the material was written for the old RuneQuest game, and other parts were used in the development of Hero Wars and HeroQuest, all of it is useful in understanding heroquesting and developing your own heroquests.
		While the main RuneQuest sourcebook deals with the core rules and their application, RuneQuest Companion goes several steps further in evoking the spirit and worlds of RuneQuest.
		They range from the ordinary and familiar, creatures of the natural world such as bears and snakes, to the fantastic and alien, creatures born of Chaos, magic, and the spirit world.

		If you are not familiar with Runequest some of this will sound bizarre, but don't let that stop you from reading.
		Other great characters were more of an evil bent: There was a Seven Mothers-worshipping Duck warrior who wielded twin scimitars in a whirling frenzy of death, and then there was the Chaos Ogre Stonehenge who was virtually unstoppable with 30 points of natural stone armor.

	UNDERCULTURE :: Runequest
		I’ve been playing Runequest for a fair number of years (about 12 actually) and, over those many sessions, the rules have slowly been manipulated and refined, as we find out what works and what doesn’t.
		In addition to requiring a material component, a Fetish, all Runequest spell casting requires one free hand and the ability to speak.
		One of the most problematic elements of playing with outdated systems, such as Runequest, is that material is very difficult to come by.

		RuneQuest was designed in the mid-70s as the RPG for Greg Stafford's world of Glorantha.
		This won't be RuneQuest either and probably won't suit the style of role-playing RuneQuest encouraged.

	Runequest - Glorantha (Chaosium/Avalon Hill) - Wayne's World of Books - Info & Sources
		Though all cults receive a broad range of capabilities from their divine relationships, there are some deities specializing in certain activities and areas, such as a war god, a city god, and the mysterious Lunar cult.
		As a RuneQuest Gateway supplement, use it in your fantasy world wherever you need a remote, unexplored island rarely visited by outsiders and left untouched by the cosmic events of your universe.
		But on the Borderland, the frontier between civilization and the arid wastes, the servants of the dark cults hide their works from sight, and hatch the plots that burst forth like worms from the hearts of earth and men.

	RPGnet : The RPGnet Interview #14: Matthew Sprange, RuneQuest
		As the new RuneQuest is Open Content, there should be a great many different magic systems out very soon, in addition to those we are working on here at Mongoose.
		Spells require one or more runes (all of which must be integrated in order to use), which means you are likely to have different party members specializing in different aspects of magic, even if they are using the same magic system, as runes can only be integrated by one character at a time.
		With RuneQuest, things are very different, as there are already established conventions that people expect to see when they look at the new game.
