Publisher's Synopsis
Cults of RuneQuest: The Lunar Way is the player's guide to the deities of the Red Moon. Each cult dives deep into the mysterious and misunderstood Lunar gods, and provides mechanics for each of their cults to create your RuneQuest adventurer. 15 brand new cults, including Jakaleel the Witch, the Goddess of Youth Teelo Norri, the Chaos demon known as the Crimson Bat, and the Red Goddess herself--all playable for the first time! An expanded treatment of the cult of the Seven Mothers. Rules to create brand-new RuneQuest adventurers belonging to these cults, detailing the skills, passions, spirit magic, and Rune magic each cult offers. Details of the unique organization, history, and nature of each cult. A new and unique Lunar magic system, plus expanded rules for Lunar sorcery, and the unique way Lunar Rune spells are affected by the phases of the Red Moon. Rules for how your adventurer can grow into a God-talker, Rune Priestess, or even a mighty Rune Lord. The history of the Lunar gods, the Lunar Empire, the Red Emperor, and details for adventuring on the surface of the Red Moon itself. This supplement can be used with the RuneQuest core rules, or combined with other Cults of RuneQuest books to create a RuneQuest adventurer belonging to multiple cults. Deadly & Tactical Combat The core BRP rules present easy-to-learn and equally easy-to-teach combat mechanics that allow players to react to attacks--you don't just have to wait for your turn in order to have an impact on combat! Conflict in BRP can be deadly, and every roll (attacking, fighting back, dodging or otherwise) is integral. This makes for a thrilling, high-octane experience with a system that does not slowdown the overall flow of play. Build The Game You Want With mechanics for magic, psychic powers, mutations, superpowers, weapons, equipment, and vehicles applicable to any setting and genre, Basic Roleplaying: Universal Game Engine is adaptable to any world of your choosing--either previously established, or created from scratch.
