Mythology is more than old lies and stories, pseudo-scientific explanations for natural phenomena, or hidden secrets of forgotten lore. It is a state of mind and a way of life. It has a sentience and life of its own: a power. RuneQuest: Roleplaying in Glorantha lets you experience that state of mind and explore that way of life through the mythic realm of Glorantha. 

RuneQuest is a roleplaying game of heroic fantasy rich in magic, mystery and extraordinary adventure, set in the world of Glorantha. RuneQuest is filled with mortals and gods, myths and cults, monsters and heroes. The most powerful building blocks of the universe are the Runes, mystical symbols that permeate everything, and mastery of Runes allows astonishing feats of bravery and magic. 

RuneQuest’s influences are Bronze Age cultures where the relationship between mortals and the gods is much stronger. In Glorantha, 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. 

The system is itself can be lethal, where Shields shatter when hit hard enough, limbs can be disabled, and even the weakest of opponents get off a lucky shot that can take out an experienced foe. Luckily, creating your RuneQuest Adventurer with our fillable character sheet is incredibly easy. Fully editable and playable today with our Quest Portal Character Sheet Template.

The Gumshoe System is designed around the idea that investigative scenarios are difficult to run with most role-playing systems. The problem is identified as important clues being missed due to failed dice-rolls, resulting in play grinding to a halt.

The Gumshoe System is designed to solve this by making the game not about finding clues, but about interpreting them. Attention is given to designing investigative scenarios, while at the same time the focus is put on encouraging the players to take control of the investigation (and, thereby, the story being told).

The Gumshoe System is player-centric, putting die rolling in the hands of the players whenever possible. Non-player character abilities either modify the roll made by the player, or succeeds or fails depending on what the game master finds dramatically appropriate. Direct conflict between characters, such as combat, is an exception.

On a distant planet, two worlds are at odds with one another. On one side of the wall the advanced military state of the undying Archon controls the lives of its Citizens, and on the other side post-apocalyptic gangs battle for the scant few resources the failing colony has left to offer. 

For hundreds of years the colony of Atrius has been cut off from humanity and has endured generations of civil war. What remains is a gleaming city under a firm guiding hand and the sprawl of a lawless expanse beyond its guarded walls. What is more terrifying under the Atrian sun, the violent clans who inhabit the Fringe, or the totalitarian government looking to maintain order? 

The shining city of Atrius protects its bustling Citizens from the unbridled dangers lurking beyond its walls, or so the government would have us believe. Interesting inhabitants, the Fringers, lurk beyond the “safety” of Atrius, inhabitants such as the Lucky 8’s.

Liberty: AFTER

The Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game is about storytelling in worlds of swords and sorcery. It shares elements with childhood games of make-believe. Like those games, D&D is driven by imagination. It’s about picturing the towering castle beneath the stormy night sky and imagining how a fantasy adventurer might react to the challenges that scene presents. 

Unlike a game of make-believe, D&D gives structure to the stories, a way of determining the consequences of the adventurers’ action. Players roll dice to resolve whether their attacks hit or miss or whether their adventurers can scale a cliff, roll away from the strike of a magical lightning bolt, or pull off some other dangerous task. Anything is possible, but the dice make some outcomes more probable than others.

This 5th edition, released in 2014, is one of the most popular roleplaying systems today, evolving out of decades of play and multiple editions. With the rise of TTRPGs in culture, Dungeons and Dragons is the go to example when explaining our hobby - and for good reason.
