Big shout out to Loz (Lawrence Whitaker) for the review PDF of RuneQuest 6. It looks great so far! Busy digging through it now.

Chivalry & Sorcery was...betamax? Wait, no, Famicon?

SNK?

To quote my friend Mark (from back in the day), "Ducks are stupid. The Elves and Dwarves are wierd."

They all sort of liked the system. It was Glorantha that they had a problem with.  Yes, they were all Tolkien indoctrinated gamers.  The only odd thing they used to play was Traveller and Empire of the Petal Throne (which we always thought was "big kids D&D"). Yes, I was that young back in 1976-77  If there had been Non-Glorantha Basic Roleplaying with a Generic Adventure Fantasy Setting back in the day, We would be playing percentile games and looking oddly at all those game with funny dice.

I was a gamer never indoctrinated to Tolkien or D&D, so I always was go for running or playing, "those other things".  However, by the time I found other people to play RQ with... my tastes had moved far away from fantasy.

Quote from: Iron Simulacrum;594390I think we're now wondering into "why I don't like Glorantha [any more]" territory now.

Beat me to it. I can't bring myself to like Glorantha. I tried, but the setting is too loony for me.

Quote from: Kaiu Keiichi;593915I can see that you're a person who would probably have a blast out time playing ducks, but are simply too afraid too.

Yeah, that sounds likely.

QuoteWhat's really hilarious is that people dog down Glorantha because it has Ducks, but adore 40K with it's really retarded Orks.

What are retarded about 40k orcs? I mean in some way that's different than the way orcs are retarded in every fantasy RPG?

Quote from: Eisenmann;594558We didn't have those but we did have Children's Palace and KBToys. I remember them having D&D boxed sets and Avalon Hill games but I didn't know enough back then to see if RuneQuest was there.

We had a KBToys here, come to think of it. It's been so long that I can't say for sure what rpgs they had. It was at the mall on the western edge of town, and I wasn't there a lot. I also don't think KBToys lasted long here. Our mall is notorious for changing out businesses regularly. I didn't go around stores unless I was shopping, and being a broke teen ager didn't help any. Now I'll spend the next few hours trying to remember the place. Maybe in the morning I'll call some of the old gaming group and see what they remember.

Quote from: Fiasco;594052I have a soft spot for gnomes and have played a few. Probably enough to get me perma banned by The Pundit.

No, but I will call you a sick fuck!
