Pour info voila le texte.

Mongoose Publishing is proud to announce that the legendary RuneQuest roleplaying game will be added to our growing number of licensed publications in mid-2006. Building on the previous editions of the game, the all new RuneQuest system has been developed under the watchful eyes of Messrs Stafford and Perrin, and has been subjected to the longest and most open playtesting period that any Mongoose game has been through.

The new RuneQuest rules will be released as a 100-page hardback book, priced at $19.95, giving players all the core rules they need to begin playing – indeed, with the monsters included in this book, Games Masters can go a long with this single tome.

Support for the new RuneQuest will come thick and fast throughout 2006 with the addition of the RuneQuest Companion, RuneQuest Monsters, Legendary Heroes, the Glorantha range and an all new setting that uses the core rules. RuneQuest comes of age with this edition, being truly mutable to any fantasy setting desired by the Games Master and players.

Glorantha

As before, Glorantha is the flagship of the RuneQuest range and our full colour setting book will place Games Masters and players alike straight into this world, allowing them to visualise the places they visit as no world book has yet done. No settlement will feel like `just another town' in Glorantha.

In addition, there are plenty of follow up books planned to supplement Glorantha, including expansions on the many Cults, methods of manipulating Runes and magic, as well as true Quests which will see the players travelling the length and breadth of the land in a search for ultimate power or salvation.

All of this will be backed up by a huge amount of adventure support, allowing you to dive straight into the world.

A Truly Open Game

Perhaps the best news of all is that RuneQuest will be an Open system, meaning that publishers and players alike will be free to produce their own derivative works, using the RuneQuest rules and logo, for publication. Though Glorantha will not be Open in this fashion, the free-to-use licence will permit new settings to be written using the RuneQuest rules, as well as scenarios and rules expansions.

More details on the Open nature of RuneQuest will be released towards the end of this year, along with details on how existing publishers (paper or PDF) can get their hands on a copy of the RuneQuest Development Kit.
