The second installment of New Gamemaster Month is up - here RuneQuest creative director Jason Durall talks about the chosen adventure: “A Rough Landing”, from the RuneQuest Starter Set.

"We’ve picked this adventure because it’s a great introduction to Glorantha for new players and it was designed to be particularly easy on gamemasters running RuneQuest for the first time," says Jason.

The third installment of New Gamemaster Month is up - here Jason Durall talks more about the setting (Glorantha) and the rules (RuneQuest).

"The most important things to take away from the rules reading is how to roll and read dice, the different levels of success, how to read a character sheet, and the concept of augments using skills, Passions, or Runes. Once you’ve got an understanding of how those mechanics work, most of the rest of the rules fall into place," says Jason.
