[QUOTE="werecorpse, post: 7713155, member: 55491"] I think the intent of that part of rule design philosophy are: with respect to a) the rules will try & cover all the elements of gameplay; & With respect to b) the character sheet should contain the info/tools for all those rules (Ie the rules should be simple enough that you don't have to go back to the book all the time) not that if its not in the rules you can't do iit. iirc the previous RQ rules (version 6?) were licenced to be designed by a group called Design Mechanism. The licence was taken back from them by Chaosium who now run the RQ show again. So Design Mechanism were left a bit high & dry with the rule set they designed. They changed its name from Runequest to Mythrus. I think this blogger is pro the Design Mechanism designers. I haven't got deeply into RQ rules since version 5 so missed this clash and prefer to think of the two stated rule design statements as aspirational rather than restrictive. [/QUOTE]
