I've really been enjoying reading through Runequest, so I don't understand why it seems so underrated in modern gaming.There doesn't really seem to be much interest in the current edition compared to early ones.I was hoping that there could be more excitement over its potential.Especially with the changes coming.
>so I don't understand why it seems so underrated in modern gamingIt's strictly inferior to 6th edition/Mythras, Glorantha is overwrought, lack of support from Chaosium and too expensive.
Glorantha lived and died with KoDP.
I'm surprised how much legs 13th Age has with Glorantha.
>>96474663I like the lore, I like a lot of the rules.I hate strike ranks, and I hate how everything requires you to reference a fucking table.If they fixed those two issues and polished up some of the other jank I'd recommend people play it much more often.I usually only recommend people read Runequest in the context of it being speculative fiction. I think actually playing it would be retarded.
>>96475097>lack of support from ChaosiumI mean, Chaosium has put out a fuckload of books for the game though?
>>96478137NTA but books aren't necessarily support. Priority one is to play the game, not to collect a library. Books can be helpful to that end but Chaosium doesn't seem to understand what it's actually like to pick up a new game, and then they will have staff and affiliates pontificate about how people should be engaging with the game. Moreover, Jeff is on the record for saying "who has the time to pick up and learn a new RPG system" on the official Chaosium youtube channel, so clearly he has neither the sympathy nor understanding for what the modern TTRPG audience wants. They are out of touch and they're just starting to realize some 7 years later how out of touch they really are.
Mythras (was RuneQuest 6 ) has imo a more refined system than the current RQ:G and has a diverse range of settings, not tied to Glorantha. It's a better choice if you want to homebrew or you're interested in mythic Earth or Sword & Sorcery campaigns. >>96478520I wish I could be as enthusiastic about anything as your are about Mythras.
