Hiya guys ive seen runequest on amazon but i want to know what you guys think of it! If anyone plays it.

Bascally what ive got so far is its a cheap simple rp and i can get the book of amazon for £15 (latest ed)
Its other plus points are its only one book so i can take it on holiday and also simple rules to get family roleplaying.

Love to hear from you guys

Runequest has a long and noble history which you can read about on Wikipedia and other websites.

The reviews I have read of RQ4 are not that great. Old time RQers still prefer RQ1+2, the original Chaosium editions before it was bought by Avalon Hill. However, a lot of that feeling is due to the treatment of the world background, called Glorantha. As a complete newcomer you don't have that baggage.

The basic game system is simple and flexible and was used for games like Call Of Cthulhu.

You could do a lot worse.
