    25th anniversary reprint of HeroQuest

    No, they own the name "Heroquest", not the boardgame design/concept. Its attached to something completely different, their Roleplaying Game System, as well as a fundamental concept in their Fantasy Setting of Glorantha, where the term was first used. http://www.glorantha.com/...

    25th anniversary reprint of HeroQuest

    It all depends if Moon Design, who are the license holders of the name, linked with their RPG, and Glorantha, where the term was first coined, want to pounce, and ensure they have the option of printing their materials in Spain. The boardgame was produced while the name rights were spread about...

    Is there a game like...

    RuneQuest 6 encourages the integration of the Player Characters with their local culture and community by essentially tying notable advancement benefits to memberships of organisations such as cults, brotherhoods etc. Most magic (and often in RQ settings everyone has some kind of access to...

    An Open Letter to Fantasy Flight and Cubicle 7 -- Cut the "Foreplay" and Give Us the Good Stuff

    There is of course also a similar project already done using RuneQuest 6th Edition, but the pdf was taken back down by the designers to ensure no risk of legal suits. If one goes to related forums and asks nicely however...

    FFG Dumping WFRP stuff...cancellation or yet another reprint edition?

    A representation of 2e WFRP would be welcome, as long as they don't make it as "class-driven" as 40KRP is and keep the careers system intact.

    Paladins - to be, or not to be?

    2. But I should say my view of the Paladin has been tempered for years by RuneQuest which has for many religions positions of Priest and Rune Lord, the martial Champion of a God/Cult who is supported by the Cult to devote his/her life about seeking out its enemies and Defending its interests...

    warlord healing

    It seems to me that the real issue behind healing, who can do it, and how, is what are Hit Points. If hit points are actual physical damage then Warlords would not heal, and their ability to enable people to fight past injuries work well as temp hp. However, escalating hit points would need to...

    Blog: Background and Themes a closer look.

    As the designers have already said characters are going to be competent in 3 areas, combat, exploring, and interaction, I wonder if the 3 areas of choice will be "weighted" to support these 3 areas. class - primarily combat effectiveness/role theme/feats and background/skills - focussed more...

    Character Builder WTFs per minute

    No longer being a subscriber I don't know if they fixed one aspect, but I found that a significant annoyance with the new builder was they only showed the first paragraph of a feat description and you were unable to edit that description. Doesn't sound like a problem? Go read Divine Power, its...

    So, anyone looking at Mongoose Runequest II?

    A starting character gets a base skill level in a common skill of 2stats added together, plus any culture bonus, plus profession bonus (probably 10 each) plus a share of 250 pts to spend as wished, maximum 30 per skill. Advanced skills get opened by professions or cultures. Common skills can...

    Cloud of Knives kills minions?

    And an Attack Power is defined as any power that can be used to do harm to your enemies in combat, more or less directly (PHB pg 54). Which to my mind confirms that attack powers do not necessarily need an attack roll to do damage, therefore do not come up against the "no damage from a miss...
