Our group had been playing RQ for 3-4 years when we got the Cradle scenario. I think we had about 8 folks running 3 characters each on that. I had my buffest Orlanthi and his sidekick and an Issaries along doing research for the Lankhor Mhy. At the end we calculated that half the folks left alive defending the Cradle were Player Characters. Our game only stayed with RQ2 for another year or so and then we went over to RQ3. Calendar went backwards a couple of years with the changeover and we all started fresh. Converted RQ2 characters just didn't have the same feel as new RQ3 folks. It also gave us a chance to bring in new players - they didn't have to be bothered by only having Lay members when others of us has candidate Rune Levels. Now the RQ3 characters are fairly studly so those old RQ2 characters are only being converted over now. - -- Chris Marble - HMC UNIX Systems Manager, chris_marble@hmc.edu My opinions are my own and probably don't represent anything anyway. ------------------------------ End of RQ Rules Digest: V2 #118 ******************************* This is the bottom of the RuneQuest Rules Digest.
