With the 35th year of the original playtest sessions for RuneQuest coming up, it seems appropriate to do something to mark that occasion.<br><br>With Sven Lugar's kind permission I have scanned his copy of the original RuneQuest playtest materials from 1977-78. Dan Zappone did a beautiful job cleaning them up, putting them into PDF format, and placing internal bookmarks. As a last step, we'd like to annotate the PDF with comments from as many of the original RuneQuest authors, contributors, and playtesters as possible before posting it.<br>
<br>If you're one of the original RuneQuest crew - one of the people who worked on the original system or playtested it in '77 or '78 - please respond to my email address below! And if you're not, please feel free to pass this announcement along to anywhere or anyone where you feel it might do some good. I'd also love to get feedback from anyone who wrote RuneQuest I or II material for Chaosium.<br>
<br>The PDF is just over 11MB. For now it will only be available to commenters, but we hope to have the file freely available to all by the beginning of next year - the 35th anniversary of RQ. It's a fascinating piece of work, and gives some really interesting insights into the genesis of RuneQuest!<br>
