Thread: The Design Mechanism and the Future of RuneQuest

Its definitely RuneQuest 6th Edition, which, as the sixth published edition of the game, its quite entitled to be. RQ6 seems to be favoured shorthand, although RQVI will no doubt appear as may 'DMRQ' - which I hope won't happen, because, well, I don't like it.

Combat Actions will be staying. That said, how one comes by them is fully open to review by me and Pete, and there's lots of little things like this that we're reviewing right now.

Of course. Best of luck with it! Good News.

Will RuneQuest sixth edition support non-fantasy genres in any way? It's no longer a deal breaker, of course, as the BRP BGB suits me just fine for those things. I just considered Mongoose's decision to not go forth with "SpaceQuest" and "ModernQuest" (after they acquired the Traveller license) a bit of a missed opportunity.

I like Combat Actions. I have ported them to all my games.

On my MRQ table you need 60% for 3 CA, 90% for 4 CA and +30% for every extra CA, in addition to the INT/DEX requirements. Animals/Monsters get their full CA whatever their skill rating is.

You may even need 30% for 2 CAs, for when you positively, absolutely need to shaft that stupid farmer!

Loz, any chance of seeing dual-statted (HQ/RQ) Gloranthan products in the future?

Probably not dual-statted in the book itself, but a very, very good chance of having RQ stats available as a separate download for HQ Glorantha books.

And vice versa?
