Are these descriptions in print somewhere or forthcoming in HQ2.0 or derived
from common knowledge?
The reason I'm asking is that for the (Mongoose) RQ stuff I'm running I want to make runes more central to PC life than they have tended to be. Although I have HQ I haven't played it - just not my thing - but my understanding from listening to Darran Sim's excellent podcasts is that runes in HQ2.0 have an impact on personality and behaviour.
MRQ has the notion of integrating a rune and uses a skill called runecasting to define a person's ability to use the rune's magic. The game uses a skill called "persistence" to represent willpower. Therefore, what I would like to do is, when relevant, to say to someone "your rune is pushing you to be brave/reckless/cowardly. Make a roll of your Persistence opposed by your rune's runecasting score to be able to choose what you want to do here."
I can derive my own concordance but would prefer it if someone else had already done the work. Relatedly, RQ2 had a rune identities table which matched runes with metals, colours and so on. Did that ever get updated and put somewhere?
