Great introductory video for the product I have been hoping you will review! Your mastery of the Glorantha material has been very evident in prior videos concerning previous edition products and I have eagerly awaited this. (The videos I have seen to date have all been done by other folks new to RQ and Glorantha.) Really appreciate the time you obviously put into making these videos. I say yours are the best done of any review series I have seen.

Completely agree. Apart from mastery of the topic, his admiration for Glorantha shines through. This is such a great edition of the game and I can't wait for the adventure book to be published shortly.

This has to be the best roleplaying video i’ve ever seen. Thank you for the wonderful review!

Glad you don’t shy away from the deep waters! After this and Nyarlathotep, I only have higher and higher expectations.

@@mailtompowell Yes, it's "in the works" apparently. The Guide to Glorantha is a grim monolith that gazes down upon me from my bookshelf, reminding me of my duties to RuneQuest. I will get around to it eventually, however, Masks and RQG are the priorities here... possibly with Control Group for Delta Green coming after that. I'm also intending to do CoC 7th Edition at some point too.

I am very new to looking at Glorantha, but somehow when you said around 3 minutes that this is both the 7th and 4th edition at the same time, that seemed very appropriate to the complexity of the setting.

The most intricate part of RuneQuest is the setting. When you wrap your head around the rules, it’s quite palatable.

@@BudsRPGreview in currently running stormbringer but bought rq classic. Now I'm contemplating rqg for Xmas 👍

As usual, great video. I own the slip-case set and it’s a masterpiece; beautiful artwork, a fantastic read and even wonderful to hold. Quality. I’ll never play it. It took me a little over two-and-a-half hours to create a character and the systems, combat for example, are the most complex of any iteration. My players never buy the books so the first session is going to be absorbed by character creation. A beautifully realised avatar that demands knowledge of Glorantha and potentially could die in the first encounter; anyone fancy another character session?. A pleasure to read but for me, hard to run.

I had some of the same thoughts when looking at this game after purchasing it. However, the more recent boxed Starter Set has premade characters and adventures. Just offer the players one of the several sample characters. That, and the fact that combat is so deadly will likely result in less fights. That allows for the slower, layered rules to shine for dramatic action as opposed to roll to hit - miss or damage ? - repeat. I played through the solo adventure, and that allowed me to see all that from experience. In time, it would speed up with experience. At first, it is a lot of referring to charts, but only two or three of them, and they’re on the GM screen or starter set handout. I honestly would find this harder introducing the massive amounts of lore to a group of new players. Yet, I might just use that Jonstown Compendium book Six Seasons in Sartar to introduce a group to Glorantha. That would require character creation, but I was just thinking about asking the players what kind of character he or she had in mind and doing a lot of that before the game on my own.

@@michaelotero4394 Hey Michael, thanks for the response. RQ was the first game I ever bought. Everyone else was playing D&D but the artwork on the box sucked me in. I still play it today. I've never found that deadly combat puts players off, the reverse in fact--combat becomes the most powerful and swiftest solution. In 2nd edition (same as 1st edition with some of the errata fixed and a different binding), most of the book was (is) all about fighting. Character death is all but guaranteed so, spending 90+ minutes creating a character is, well, painful. "Back in the day" we made characters, played games and the character backgrounds grew organically. Pages of tables were not required. However, on the plus side...it looks like the latest edition is mostly compatible with 2nd.

@@michaelhill6453 I’m a newbie to RQ - only the past few weeks. However, I’m picking it up quickly. Looking over some older RQ2 stuff and the conversion guide, it looks easy enough. Some people like the randomized tables for character background, but I understand that it takes time or might be undesirable in preference to organic character development. I’m sure there are people that work around that or ignore it. Six Seasons modifies family history not going beyond 1619 which makes sense for its time period.
