Publisher's blurb:
Play a game where your characters are Heroes!
Play heroes with RuneQuest: Roleplaying in Glorantha. You will be immersed in the mythic realm of Glorantha with characters tied to the communities they support. Walk with gods, negotiate with spirits and dance with dragons, but be wary for even the smallest trollkin can topple the mightiest warrior.
User summary:
First published by Chaosium in 1978, over the ensuing decades the RuneQuest game has gone through a number of editions with different publishers and licensees. The new edition returns to Chaosium where it started and where, in its heyday, was second only to Dungeons & Dragons in terms of sales.
RQG is built off the chassis of the acclaimed RuneQuest 2nd Edition (1980). This enables RQG to be largely compatible with RuneQuest Classic, the updated reprints of the RQ2 line.
