Listening to the excellent Grognards Files Podcast reignited my nostalgia for RuneQuest, and inspired me to pull my RQ2 reprint edition down from the shelf.
I bought copies of this reprint a couple years ago, both for myself and as a gift for the Ulm. We intended to play — even had a game night scheduled in July of 2016 — but time got away from us and I moved to Canada and etc. and etc.
But now I am back and thumbing through the rules again. A nostalgic read, and it inspired me to sketch out at least the beginnings of a scenario, with 16-year-old barbarian youths seeking to join their tribes as adults by braving a terrifying underground proving grounds in the farthest reaches of Prax. If this is all I get out of RuneQuest, it is enough, but who knows …?
You moved to Canada? And now you’re back? That’s a story I’ve got to hear.
Time to grab a beer?

Yes, I think I’ve been through two countries and three jobs since last we spoke. And Etherton moved to Scotland!
