Nope. Not if the game ”needs” magical healing and it is set before there was such. You'd rightfully mock a Star Wars game set on Alderan during the Empire Strikes Back period. It would be garbage. The story trumps the need of the game. If such a game "needed" to have the planet Alderan it...

In Krynn the artificer is a gnome tinkerer. They might produce healing potions. They'd need them as most of their devices backfire in dramatic fashion. Paladins don't exist on Krynn. Rangers don't get healing spells until the gods return. Bards would only be able to draw on Arcana and be subject...

Those are all the reasons I said I would be holding my breath on the no clerics issue. I really think with short rests and battle healers with healing kits, it's possible to role play DL before the return of the gods. I think if they roll with no magical healing (alchemical healing potions...

Only person I've ever heard disliked the novels in 40 years. They use the novels in psychology classes to teach how codependent relationships work. Raistlin being an addict to magic and Caramon being his codependent brother.

No, this campaign book is set at least 9 months before Goldmoon, perhaps even further back.

But if it truly is a Saving Private Ryan/1917 style campaign, wouldn't you especially want it that way?

In original Dragonlance, it was Kiri-Jolith, worshipped by Knights of the Sword. Few belonged to that order, since Kiri-Jolith had left. most going directly from Crown to Rose.

Having an actual campaign set in a war with no healing spells might be pretty awesome.

Yes, evil clerics existed But the war in eastern solamnia launched the same time or just before the invasion of abanasinia, iirc. The War of the Lance adventures lasted three seasons. Autumn, winter and spring. The battle of the high clerist tower coming in winter. So the eastern Solamnic...

Bring back 18(00) strength. Get rid of short rests. They're for video games. Change the system to allow for increasing to hits and increasing AC. ie bring back better protection items. Let ACs head further past 20, even to 30 and increase to hits accordingly as levels advance.

I'm holding my breathe on this critical issue. There were no clerics in this region at that time. Not clerics of Reorx, as some suggest. None at all That's a line that truly cannot be crossed as it voids the entire setting. Now, having a cleric arrive in the heart of winter, having met Goldmoon...

DM'd DL since it first came out nearly 40 years ago. Kender are the best.The idea they create bad players must come from bad DM's.

I'm excited for sorcery in RQG. I've been playing Ars Magica, probably the best sorcery rpg there is. And the Techniques are what in Glorantha are Runes. In Glorantha, sorcery is supposed to be based upon combine, separate, summon/dismiss, tap, command. To anyone playing Ars Magica, they...

They've managed to survive despite those setbacks and last year Moon Design, which is now folded pretty much into Chaosium, won the Diana Jones Award for Guide to Glorantha. They deserved it. That was a stunning work on the setting Runequest 2 is based in. So they've thrived in many ways...

Seriously. Back in the early 80's, Runequest was considered the far superior game to AD&D according to pretty much every critic out there, including Dragon magazine, which ran a scathing critique of an AD&D product alongside a glowing review of Borderlands for RQ. Had not Chaosium sold...

I'll never forget my son's look when he first played DnD. Everytime he got hit, he went for his dice to parry. Then he remembered he couldn't. When it was his time to hit, he did. Damage was dealt. That's it? We left that game with him wondering aloud why anyone would play such a dull game...
