About the adventure
Join Duke Raus of Rone as he works to tame his new lands on the River of Cradles. He needs sharp eyes and stout blades to defend his subjects from raiders, monsters and to explore the lands of his new domain. This classic Runequest campaign has been updated for RQG, and is ideal for beginners and old veterans alike. Explore one of the most unique settings in tabletop fantasy. All characters use magic, and your hero will seek out the secrets of your gods and reenact their myths in order to gain their powers.

About me
GM since 1980, I run games you haven't heard of. Indie and non-Hasbro games are my gig! I wrote 'How Humakt Learned to Grieve' for the Jonstown Compendium. I run Star Wars, RuneQuest and other non-Hasbro games. I use safety tools such as lines and veils, X-card, brief and debrief, bleed management tools and others. My table is an explicitly safe BIPOC/ND/Queer/Trans/LGBTIA+ space as I am queer and nuerodivergent myself.

Creating your character
Characters can be created either per the rules in the Runequest: Roleplaying in Glorantha core rulesbook, or you can use any of the 14 pregenerated characters in the RQG Starter Set. The GM will provide all handouts needed and will guide you through the character creation process. The GM will also help you create Praxian, Uz, Baboon and Duck adventurers.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
All you need are a set of headphones, a mic, and a discord account. We will be using Foundry VTT via The Forge, so you should also get a free account at https://forge-vtt.com/ .
What Chris brings to the table
I will provide all handouts and pregens necessary for play. While owning the RQ Starter Set or the RuneQuest: Roleplaying in Glorantha book can be helpful, they aren't necessary for participation.
Homebrew rules
None at this time, since this is a first time experience for new players.
