[RPG] RuneQuest 6th Ed

RuneQuest 6th Ed
Core Rules

Created in 1978 by Steve Perrin, Ray Turney and friends, RuneQuest is the classic roleplaying game of fantastic adventure with heroes and magic.

Now in a brand new edition, RuneQuest is updated and expanded by Pete Nash and Lawrence Whitaker. Everything you need for fabulous roleplaying adventure is contained in a single volume that has been designed to support any genre of fantasy. The game retains all the key concepts and hallmarks of its earlier versions, but requires no familiarity with the previous editions.

In RuneQuest your characters are defined by their culture, career, community, background, comrades, skills, magic and cults. Progression is through skill advancement – not levels or similarly abstract concepts. As your characters adventure and quest, their capabilities improve and their relationships deepen and strengthen. Players and Games Masters have complete flexibility over what can be achieved, and the way characters develop is entirely dependent on choices players make, depending on their characters’ aspirations and motivations.

Games Masters receive a huge amount of support through the RuneQuest rules. All the concepts and game mechanics are explained clearly with options and considerations explored and presented for ease of use. You need only this rulebook for many years of exciting and imaginative play.

What’s in this book? RuneQuest contains everything needed for play:

• Character Creation – building your character through the familiar characteristics, through developing culture and community relationships, choosing a career, and gaining basic equipment according to social class.
  
• Skills – What they do, how they work, and how to handle many different circumstances (degrees of difficulty, critical and fumbled rolls, opposed skills, group skills, and so on).
  
• Economics and Equipment – Arms and armour, tools, clothing, accommodation... everything your character needs as he or she begins on their life of adventure.
  
• Combat – RuneQuest’s combat system is unique, dynamic and geared towards adventurous realism. Gaining success over an opponent generates Special Effects that can rapidly turn the course of a fight. Copious advice is presented on balancing combat skills and styles, through to handling rabble and underlings.
  
• Magic – No less than five very different forms of magic are presented and explored, with complete lists of spells and effects. How magic is defined and used in different fantasy settings and campaign worlds is examined in detail. The Runes, what the represent and how they work, is clearly presented.
  
• Cults and Brotherhoods – Religious, magical and secular organisations, as well as other kinds of societies are detailed the Cults and Brotherhoods rules. Cults have been an important and traditional part of RuneQuest, and they are covered in significant detail along with templates for many different kinds of cult, order, school and so on for Games Masters and Players to build upon for their own campaigns.
  
• Creatures - Over 50 creatures are fully detailed, including several non-human player character races. This chapter also offers complete guidance on how to use creatures effectively in RuneQuest games, and notes on how to design your own.
  
• Games Mastery – Copious notes, thoughts and guidance on how to Games Master RuneQuest games. Areas for consideration are summarised, options explored, and different ways of using the rules offered. An invaluable chapter for new and old RuneQuest Games Masters alike…

RuneQuest 6th
Shores of Korantia

Explore a Whole New World of Intrigue and Adventure in Shores of Korantia

Korantia: a coastal region of the great continent of Taygus, home to dozens of city-states and scores of Goddesses and Gods — each with their own wants, needs, plans and schemes.

The Enemies and Rivals: To the south are the Jekkarenes, the ancient enemy with cause to fear a Korantine revival; in the east the swelling Taskan Empire draws closer to Korantia’s borders with each passing generation; to the north the warlike barbarians of Marangia have fallen quiet since the Taskans seized their capital. To the west is the open sea and beyond are distant lands where colonies were set down in centuries past.

The Emperor: Koibos is the 61st Emperor of the Korantines and the 24th of his name. A vigorous young man in the prime of life, ruler of an ancient empire long past its days of glory. It falls to him to restore his realm to greatness or become an irrelevance to the dozens of city states over which he claims sovereignty.

These are the Shores of Korantia.

In this book you will find everything you need to adventure in Korantia and beyond; rules for character creation, cults, encounter tables for land and sea, economics, a fully detailed colony in which to start off your adventures, many fully detailed NPCs and a mini-campaign that will plunge your characters into intrigue and plot, culminating in a perilous expedition to a mysterious and dangerous desert island.

Shores of Korantia is a complete setting for RuneQuest 6th Edition. Based in the world of Thennla, first introduced in Age of Treason: The Iron Simulacrum.
