IC: Chaosium Runequest 2nd Edition (Borderlands+Big Rubble)

The Classic RQ2 Kickstarter has just fulfilled, so I now have a new copy of the classic RQ2 rules. Who else here is interested in exploring Glorantha under this classic rules set?

I'd be running the Borderlands campaign, where the PCs would be retainers for Duke Raus of Rone, in the year 1621 ST.

This is a chance to experience Glorantha in it's most classic form.

Cults would be taken from Moon Design's Cults Compendium (which is a reprint of Cults of Prax), or designed by hand.

I have never played Runequest before, but I always wanted to.  Count me in!

If I can find my old books, I'd be interested. Any chance of slipping Apple Lane in?

Runequest requires a lot of back and forth rolling. How are you planning to run combat?

I haven't played Runequest in a long time. I would love a chance to change that!

I kickstarted RQ2 and have the rules again. Lots of fond memories of old games and my heroic duck warrior.

It's definitely going to be in a seperate combat thread and without a map. It shouldn't be too bad compared, say, to OWoD combat. There will be a strike rank chart.

I will be using Sandy's Sorcery's rules. I may also be using some mysticism on a limited basis.

Interested in watching.  Never played it, but have wandered thru the rulebooks.

In reply to Aslanii76 (msg # 7):

System is pretty simple. If you are there, may as well play.

Very good then. This will be *starting* RQ. I'll try to dig up a starting guide, the CRQ2 book is kind of weird in how beginning adventurer generation works.
