Well Mongoose Publishing has released the new version of RuneQuest. I have yet to see a copy of it. I doubt it’s available in my local hobby stores (King’s Hobby or Dragon’s Lair) as yet.

Chaosium’s Deluxe Basic Role Playing is still under development and seems to be progressing well. The chapter on powers is undergoing major revision at present and the writer, Jason Durall, has stated that the chapter should be released to testing very soon. The powers chapter is the only one that required major revision. The other chapters are undergoing minor revision and will be posted along with the powers chapter.

The RuneQuest core rulebook will be a 100-page full color hardcover priced at $19.95, which will give gamers the core rules they need to begin playing along with enough creatures to make games interesting.

So I haven’t been able to actually to any testing of the rules - heck I haven’t even had the time to read through all of them. I really need to print them out and well it’s like 348 pages so even if I double up the number of page per sheet and print them double sided I’m still looking at a good 87 pages.
The formatting of the play test rules is, as expected, pretty plain. Which can make for some dense reading - ultimately I’m sure they will look good as Chaosium has historically been quite good with production quality.

I just started play testing Deluxe Basic Role-Playing which is to be published by Chaosium sometime this year. So far it looks very good and very flexible - able to work with a variety of genres and milieus. So far we have received perhaps half of the test and it comes in at a whopping 340+ pages. Of course once formatted for publication it will probably not be so voluminous - the font will be smaller I am sure and laid out in multiple column format.
