Should there be ducks in the new RuneQuest?

[Samuel Leming]

Well, should ducks be a playable race in Mongoose's upcoming new edition of RuneQuest?

Let's help MongooseMatt out.

Ducks were so cool. They could be very annoying but as a race they were so cool.

 

[MongooseMatt]

Added my vote, but I am way biased.

Currently toying with the idea of evil ducks, but there might be a touch of Izzard in that. . .

Ducks exist as a sapient race in my D&D campaign world. No, they weren't inspired by RQ, but rather by the classic Howard the Duck comic book. There was an instance, very early on, of Howard armed and armored like a Frazetta hero, rescuing a damsel from an evil wizard's tower. Great stuff. So, I'd love to see ducks as a PC race in any game.

If there aren't any ducks who will the short people follow?

That was in the very first issue of HtD. The damsel was Beverly.

Sheesh! I'm really that old!

I voted no. Why? Because there shouldn't be ducks. Anywhere. Ever.

 

[AuraSeer]

No.
You should know better than to pick up a duck in a dungeon.

 

[Abstraction]

Ducks? I'm not familiar with RuneQuest, but are we talking about waterfowl?

 

[Glyfair]

Wait. Mongoose is publishing Runquest? How did this happen? I thought the rights were so tied up between Issaries and Hasbro that nothing could see the light of day (besides the reprints).
