So I've been seriously wanting to dig into Runequest/Mythras for some time. I want to read it, absorb it and put it in my back pocket for when my players least expect it and whip it out, and go BOOM! This is what we're doing... (and hopefully they'll bite. I've been taking them out of their comfort zone a lot lately). I also admit I have ulterior motives to learning RQ6/Mythras... but that's for another thread.
What I don't want to do is waste time and treasure on figuring out the optimal path. Glorantha is *very* interesting to me. And I know Mythras isn't Glorantha, and it's based off Runequest... But I'm summoning all your RQ/Mythras players/GM's to sell me on...
the PATH OF MOST GLORIOUS GAMING! Where to start?
Caveats -
1) I played Stormbringer for a bit when it first dropped. That's the total extent of my practical knowledge of RQ as a system.
2) I'm *very* facinated in Glorantha as a magical bronze-age fantasy setting? I know very little about it other than that.
3) I'm looking for rules consistency. Crunch - middling to CRUNCHY-CRUNCH. But I want the mechanics to be robust enough to scale to level 15+ D&D style gaming if possible.
4) While I like the idea of Glorantha - I don't *need* Glorantha. I saw the Mythic Britain, Rome and other books I think are being used with Mythras? All of it looks awesome.
6) Which edition?
So (up)sell me on RQ/Mythras!
