<div dir="ltr">Hi, All,<div> Summer is fast approaching -- campaign season, in our household -- and my venerable RQ3 books cannot survive weeks of my children thumbing through and looking up tables and monsters. Knowing this, I started saving up my pennies to buy RQ6.</div>
<div> And I started prepping my kids for the switch to new rules. I gave them a sneak peek at the book, thanks to Mr. Whitaker's youtube. I put the player characters in a bad spot during an adventure, and then introduced "a new rule from Runequest 6, the Luck Point", with which the players were able to save their characters. I picked up a bargain box book called "Warriors versus Warriors" -- gladiator vs. samurai and such nonsense, but fun for kids -- to show fighting styles. You get the picture.</div>
<div> Then I ordered the book. It should come in the mail this week. In the meantime, we've been looking through the PDF. And it is hard for me to get used to.</div><div> The kids are fine with it. They don't get lost trying to find the right skill on their character sheets. In switching to a fighting style, they get to take the highest weapon skill for their new combined skill. They get luck points. My daughter likes Anathaym (sp?). All is good.</div>
