This special 'Essentials' version of RuneQuest 6th Edition is designed to introduce players and Games Masters to the heart of the RuneQuest roleplaying game. In this book you will find the core of the RuneQuest engine, in a stripped-down format, but still complete enough to create characters and begin adventuring with one of roleplaying's most enduring and respected systems.  The intention is that this book will give you a taste of the mechanics and encourage you to move onto the full edition of the rules. The full rulebook contains much, much more: more game options, more magic, more monsters more cults.  But for now let RuneQuest Essentials be your gateway to fantastic adventures with heroes and magic!

Fate of Fools: Two Tests of Wits and Wiles in the Young Kingdoms (Elric/Stormbringer)

Chaosium

Of all fantasy empires, the tradition-wrapped kingdom of Melnibone is surely among the best known. The capital of this slowly falling realm is the seat of Elric's empire, Imrryr - the Dreaming City - a place of slender, sky-reaching towers topped by banners that wave in the winds. Beneath Imrryr are the Dragon Caves, where the oath-bound reptilian allies of the Melniboneans slumber and await the call to another war. Mystical ley lines threaded across the land like the veins of the world offer magical power to those to would walk them, and scholar-mages learn of the cosmic balance between the principles of Law and Chaos that govern reality. All the while, from the spires of Imrryr, the albino emperor Elric holds the legendary blade Stormbringer in his hands, watching his world slowly die.

Using the core rules from RuneQuest II, Legend is a new fantasy roleplaying game that serves as the basis for a multitude of settings and worlds. 100% compatible with all previous RuneQuest II books, including Elric of Melnibone, Deus Vult and Wraith Recon, Legend repackages the rules into a new digest-sized format. RPG fans will not be dissappointed in the attention lavished on the new game. In particular they can expect: A streamlined and revised character creation system, with greater emphasis on character background, but also significant changes that influence a character's starting skills and abilities and the speed with which adventurers develop, improve and progress. Particular attention has been paid to training and skill improvement, but you will also find that the structure and range of skills is greatly enhanced, meaning that new adventurers begin with a greater degree of competence across the board. Although all the familiar concepts remain (Combat Actions, Strike Rank and so forth), the combat process is based on simple rolls, does not rely on any resolution matrix, and introduces special Combat Manoeuvres simulating the cut and thrust of real combat whilst offering a truly epic, cinematic edge. Combat is faster than before an perhaps more deadly, but every character will find a greater range of tactical options and combat effects that create a satisfying, exciting, combat flow. The presentation of the game rules has been restructured to make it easier for Games Masters and players to find what they need, when they need it. The system is designed with clarity and ease of use in mind. Great pains have been taken to ensure full backwards compatibility with RuneQuest II. All RuneQuest II books and expansions remain compatible with Legendand, indeed, material presented in earlier editions has become the foundation for the new game.

Like all good stories, Mythras has grown in the telling. As the game has expanded through supplements and settings, the rules have evolved to include a variety of additional systems that, while not essential, may prove useful to Games Masters and players alike.\nThe Mythras Companion collects some of these rules together. Much of the material has appeared elsewhere, but some of it is new: Social Conflict and the Chase rules, for example, were written specifically for this supplement.\nAll the material herein should be considered optional. None of it replaces the mechanics found in the Mythras Core Rules, and Games Masters are, as ever, encouraged to use what suits their game style, modify what they need to, and discard or ignore what they don't.\nWhat's inside? 
- Tactical Combat 
- Social Conflict 
- Sanity & Corruption 
- Vehicles 
- Races & Chases 
- New Character Creation Options Please note that this edition does not include colour images.
