Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lord Twig" data-source="post: 7688959" data-attributes="member: 31754">I am cautiously optimistic about this new version. I started playing RuneQuest with the 2nd edition (bought the rule book and Cults of Prax with my lunch money back in the day). Then switched to Avalon Hill's RuneQuest 3 when it came out. My group played RQ3 (with a few important house rules) for 10+ years until we started having families and couldn't make the commitment anymore.I was very excited when Mongoose said they were bringing back RQ, but was very disappointed with the result. So much so that I skipped their second edition. I heard some rumors of RQ6 by a different company (which I now know is The Design Mechanism), but I was in a dry period for RPGs and I never really looked into it.About the same time I got somewhat involved in the BRP release and bought a couple copies of it. I'm very pleased with it, but have never had a chance to actually sit down and play it with a group. My interactions with Chaosium regarding BRP was very good, so they have generated some good will from me.So I am not sure if I will back the 2nd Edition RuneQuest Kickstarter. I still have my original book, but it is in bad shape. A replacement might be nice.Odds are I will pick up this latest version of RuneQuest. My hope is that it is good enough to allow me to actually play RQ again in a way that is familiar from years ago, but has enough modern changes that it can be played with the vastly reduced amount of time I can dedicate to games. A bit of a tall order, but one can hope for the best.</blockquote>
