Runes
I played White Bear and Red Moon before getting RuneQuest when it came out, and I've always been disappointed by the lack of integration of RUnes into the rules.
It is called "RuneQuest" for criminey!
Actually, I applaud Mongoose for at least adding Runes (albeit in a pedestrian way) back into the rules as something you get. But yeah, looting the bodies for Runes takes a bit of the, let's call it glamour, out of Runes.
I've been working, off and on for a couple of years, on a new magical system that required bonding to (and ultimately mastery of) Runes to acquire magical talents relevent to that Rune, which can then be used to craft spells...other than being way too complicated, the system has also fallen on the sword of not enough time.
