Good or Evil?

RuneQuest quickly established itself as the second most popular fantasy role-playing game, after Dungeons & Dragons. The first and second editions are set in the mythical world of Glorantha, while the third edition in the mid 1980s is more generic and was much less successful. RuneQuest is the original percentile die-based and skill-based rule set.

The game had been sold to Avalon Hill under a complex agreement that required all Glorantha-related content first be approved by Chaosium. In an attempt to also have a setting they could release freely, Avalon Hill also supported a new "default" setting, Fantasy Earth, based on fantasy interpretations of several eras of earth's pre-modern history. Later Avalon Hill published "generic"/"Gateway" fantasy material (Lost City of Eldarad, Daughters of Darkness). Critics consider these later "generic"/"Gateway" publications inferior to the earlier Runequest publications.

Although both supplements for Fantasy Earth (Vikings, Land of Ninja) were well-regarded, the popularity of RuneQuest as a system seems to have come from the strength of its original setting, reflected in the remarkably high sales of materials that were new editions of out-of-print Glorantha content. A proposed fourth edition was originally meant to return the tight RuneQuest/Glorantha relationship, but it was shelved in 1994, mid-project.



Players create one or more Player Characters (PCs) through randomly generating their statistics using dice. Humans generally have a stats range of 3 to 18 points per attribute (e.g. Strength, Intelligence, Dexterity), rolled by using three six-sided dice. There was nothing to stop a player opting for a non-human PC, beyond the fear, suspicion and hostility it would be likely to receive going in most human areas (a standard -10 to Charisma was applied when dealing across different sentient species). Once the character is defined physically, it is up to the player to decide on gender, background, motives and starting equipment, although this has to be moderated by the player running the game. The player in charge is often called "Dungeon Master" as a legacy term from Dungeons & Dragons, or sometimes more simply "The Narrator". The Narrator determines the general situation of the part of Glorantha that the players find themselves within (political context, season of the year, current weather etc.), and the specifics of the "scenario" i.e. the story plot lines that the players will encounter and choose to follow (or not). The general situation will be obvious to a player and the Narrator will describe this in order to get the game started. What any individual non Player Character (NPC) is up to is something that the PCs must discover either by direct questioning or investigation & observation.
