RuneQuest Humble Bundle: how RuneQuest is different, distinctive, and fun!

RuneQuest is one of the world’s most influential and acclaimed fantasy roleplaying games. And we're currently running a truly amazing Humble Bundle for it. If you're a TTRPG gamer, here's some interesting ways you might find RuneQuest to be different, distinctive, and fun!

So what does RuneQuest offer?

RuneQuest is part of Chaosium’s D100 Basic Roleplaying BRP system. It is intuitive and easy to play: virtually all rolls determining success or failure of a task are determined via the roll of percentile dice.

RuneQuest has no character classes or alignments; characters are defined by their culture, the gods they follow, and the Runes that inspire them.

Nor does the RuneQuest system use levels; instead, characters advance in skills and abilities by using them in course of play. Anyone can try to pick a lock, cast a spell, or decipher some ancient runic script. Or indeed climb a cliff...

Combat in RuneQuest is exciting, immersive, visceral and always potentially deadly; players should be mindful even the lowliest trollkin can take out an experienced warrior with a lucky blow.

In RuneQuest all adventurers can use magic, including powerful Rune spells that channel the very power of the gods.

RuneQuest's setting is Glorantha, a Bronze Age world where the relationship between mortals and the gods are real. Rather than being myths, the deeds and actions of the gods are history, and are very much active forces in shaping the day-to-day lives of all living things.

In Glorantha, people hold allegiance to tribe, city, and cult, not to abstract alignments or ideologies. Although in RuneQuest humanity is the dominant species, their dominance is due only to the quarrelling of the Elder Races, who still rule large parts of the world.

So we invite you to try out RuneQuest, a skill-based percentile system that balances experience-based progression with deadly combat – and magic for everyone!

All the RuneQuest titles shown in this thread are included in the Humble Bundle, and more besides!

The Humble Bundle includes literally *everything* released for the RuneQuest - Roleplaying in Glorantha line up to April this year. 18 titles for $18.00. Ends July 27th.
