Josephine's character was pure Rune Priest badass - armoured like a tank and riding a grizzled war-flamingo. Runequest's rules are bonkers crunchy and take some time to get fluent. But Noura should totally have one-shotted on that crit ;)

I'm glad you're doing this series. As an old RQ2 player, I've some questions about how some of the changes would work out. Looks like they work just fine. Great cast, too. Really looking forward to more episodes.

I think Aldryami replace the Beast rune with Plant, so they are Man/Plant instead of Man/Beast. The Man rune represents the bipedal form, not just humans.

Tactical advice for augments - never use an ability below 50% to augment something, you are more likely to make it worse than to help! Noura lucked out with the sing.

1:52:20 Sorry, but critical impaling hit does double the weapon damage maxed and it ignores armor. Elf bow with critical does 18 pnts of damage (max of 2D8+2) and ignores armor. Hitting chest, it should kill the guy instantly. That's the diffence between critical and special. I've seen a dream dragon one shotted with a heavy crossbow with critical. Sorry to say, but his understanding of the combat rules aren't the best. If you parry succesfully a failed attack, you damage the attacking weapon, you don't cause damage to the attacker himself. Armor generally doesn't lose points from attacks. Bows will attack at your DEX SR and need 5 strike ranks to reload. With DEX SR 3, your first shot is at SR 3 and second is at SR 11 (DEX SR 3 + reload SR 5 + DEX SR 3). I've played RQ for almost 30 years. Best way to explain RQ combat is that it's real time with pause in TT format.

@thecaveofthedead 11 ай бұрын

Be helpful and supportive. He's looking up second sight, so we're not talking about a GM with everything at their fingertips (and with RQ that takes a lot of time). Make suggestions and corrections and he'll get better and better.

@@kalsong1 What I was thinking too. There's no Greece in Glorantha (I'm just guessing though), and these are tree people. I wonder if the rulebooks go deep into their anatomy, and gender dynamics anyways.

I picked up Runequest: Roleplaying in Glorantha. Getting through character creation was rough - Real rough. Having to note down the subject discussed in the beginning and the starting #'s, then having to go to the section or chapter for the options and mechanics was soooo annoying. Beautifu l visuals but, design is terrible for ease of use. I have to get 5 wild monkeys through character creation in any RPG and Choasium does not make it easy. Why isn't it sequential?

@hypnosisenthusiast6302 9 ай бұрын

I respectfully disagree, but I've been playing RQ since about 1977, sp it may just be my long-time familiarity with the system that makes it easier. Also, the Screen can save you a lot of time.

I agree. I started playing only because I found that someone created a spreadsheet that helps. There is also a background generator out there. Very helpful.

It's just a fact of Roleplaying that a very large number of players across the spectrum goof with their names. At least Glorantha has a history of weird goofy names, which helps.
