#RPGaDay2015 Day 24: Favorite Houserule

Posted by Runeslinger on August 24, 2015 · Leave a Comment 

Day 24 is another tough one to answer. I play quite a few games over the course of a year. Few of them go into long-term rotation.  To ensure that we learn the game for real, I run them RAW (rules as written) and don’t fiddle with them unless we have consistent problems.

Casting Runes 6: A Season for All Things – Session 22 Recap

This post, hopefully as a surprise to no one, continues the exploration and implementation of RuneQuest 6th Edition in a collaboratively-developed sword and sorcery campaign. This session dealt with launching the quest anew, bolstered by the support of the Plenthan ‘fanatics’ of Pumoth Deep.
