Ok, why the fuck don't we talk about this system more often? I mean, sure, it comes up in every "Alternative to D&D" thread, but nobody bothers to explain anything beyond that. Perhaps because it's just not as controversial, and thus prevents both its use in discussion and shitposting alike.

They come up occasionally. More often they come up as Glorantha threads. Those used to appear maybe once a month or so and then last a few days. Haven't seen one in a while but I've also been away from /tg/ quite a bid.
I also notice you didn't explain the system. I am curious though, what did they change from RQ6 to Mythras? I have RQ6, but no group I've played with has been interested in it so it's been a long time since I read through it.
Anyone know what's going on with Chaosium's new Runequest game?

Mythras' changes are mostly related to stripping off the Gloranthan IP.
Chaosium's RuneQuest is still in progress, quickstart will be available on Free RPG day.

>stripping off the Gloranthan IP
I don't remember much Glorantha IP. Everything was not!Greece in the examples. Did they strip out runes? Call magic different names?
>>
>>53112034
In essence they've managed to streamline everything down to less than 350 pages.
>>
>>53112265
Yup, runes are gone.

Isn't it in some supplement or expansion under a different name?
>>
So, how different is each edition from each other? What do you consider as the best one? Is Mythras a new edition or just the last one with another name?
>>
>>53113823
Mythras is essentially sixth except with Errata and streamlining, and Sixth/Mythras are generally regarded as the best. It's a rare case where people generally agree that each edition improves on the last.

Does anyone have pdfs of the core books?

I like the system but we have yet to try it out in my group. My DM likes that it makes combat brutal but his homebrew setting is pretty fantastical so I don't know how well adapted it is for Mythras. Furthermore, it seems like you NEED a shield or shit gets bad fast, which sort of puts a damper on my idea for a monk like character.

>>53114947
If you can't make a monk, make a friar instead.

Being familiar with CoC and its strengths, can anyone point out the FLAWS of the Mythras system, so that I get a more realistic take?
>>

sometimes the bookkeeping and table can get a littel clunky
