Welcome to Glorantha

A mythic world of mortals and gods, myths and cults, monsters and heroes. In Glorantha, the Runes permeate everything, and mastery of Runes allows astonishing feats of bravery and magic.

Glorantha is ancient, and has known many ages, but now it is at the brink of the greatest conflict it has ever known… the Hero Wars.

Glorantha is the setting of RuneQuest, one of the oldest and most influential roleplaying games ever published.

Welcome to Chaosium’s RuneQuest Quickstart Rules, a booklet that collects the essential rules for RuneQuest: Roleplaying in Glorantha and presents them in abbreviated form. Use this booklet to play the new edition of RuneQuest immediately, and to discover the improvements to the system. These game rules and a new adventure—The Broken Tower—preview the new edition of RuneQuest, developed in close consultation with the original designers and creators of RuneQuest and of Glorantha.

The Broken Tower, set in the heart of the Dragon Pass, is suitable for up to 5 adventurers and one gamemaster, complete with all the rules needed to play.

RuneQuest: Roleplaying in Glorantha—Quickstart Rules and Adventure is a huge win for me, and I suggest giving it a look. If you’re new to RPGs, then snag this Quickstart and dive right in; you’re sure to have a great time. If you’re already schooled with other RPGs, still give this one a chance; it might just surprise you.
- Matthew Scott Baker, Shattered Ravings

RuneQuest Quickstart is a good product to start learning the rules of the new RuneQuest and the world of Glorantha. It accomplishes its goal by far and Chaosium's initiative of promoting the game in this way is commendable.

RuneQuest: Roleplaying in Glorantha – Quickstart and Adventure does exactly what it sets out to do and that is provide a good introduction to RuneQuest: Roleplaying in Glorantha..

I have loved Runequest since I found a copy of Apple lane at a game store with a picture of a hit location chart on the back. RQ-G goes back to it's roots, being based on the RQ2 model but adds in aspects developed for Pendragon - passions, and those modified for Runes. "Bringing the Runes back to RuneQuest." I have run the quickstart rules and scenario several times at Origins and GenCon this year, with plans to do so at others.
While some of the rules can be a bit vague or incomplete - it is a quickstart. It does give you everything to run the scenario in the back and set you up to run your own games. I can't wait for November when the full rule set will be available.
Great game, great setting - love it.

I can't seem to be able to rate this publication but I'd give it 5 stars if I could.

I like this RuneQuest Quickstart and I think it is very well done to introduce the rules and a bit of the world of Glorantha to new players. Some of the new rules will be familiar to players of the 6th edition, and perhaps the authors have been a tad conservative (for example Call of Cthulhu 7th ed already does not use the Resistance Table and has characteristics from 1 to 100), but overall, this are the best rules right now to play RuneQuest in the setting that has always been associated with it: Glorantha.

I'm really looking forward to see more adventures published as well as the official rulebook. Don't forget to download the 6th player character with the basic rules for spirit combat! :-)

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
