Runequest


3.5/d20/OGL


Hi guys (and fellow gals)
I started playing DnD over a year ago, and once tried to dm, the guy who plays with us was a big rules lawyer and made the expierence AWFUL for me. I was pleased as punch when an old (copyright 1980)full set of Runequest booklets fell into my lap. We decided that we could that and I'd DM and our ruleslawyer could DM our usual DnD. That way he couldn't lawyer me, because I would know the rules better then him. If that all makes sense.

Now to my actual question, if I buy current books for Runesquest, how different would they be? Have the rules and such totally changed over the years?

I have an old soft cover rule book, a small phamplet style book with two adventures, another phamplet style book with pre-roled characters (mostly bad guys or NPCs) and one or two other small books that I can't remember what they contain. I was hoping that I could supplement those books by buying newer books to. Then I could add more enemies, traps etc then what is in my first book. My only other idea is to buy any other book I want and do my best to translate those items or characters to the Runesquest I have.

Am I making sense? What's your advice?

I'm sure pertty much every one here is more experienced then me. Oh and I haven't finished reading all my Runequest materials yet, mostly because time is precious and I don't want to read them all just to find out I need to buy new books anyway.

Frankly, the best place to go is Mongoose's Forums. There are people there very familiar with old and the current edition of RuneQuest.


thanks! I used to have lots of great gaming bookmarks, then my computer ate them all. This was the only place I could still find.
