RQ90s is a good example "RQ Lite".
- A4 160p Basepak + A4 140p Suppliment(Extra background and rules).
Each includes ready-to-run scenario.
- Needs only D6s.
- Nice Illustrations. Japanimation touch :-).
- Rich Background information about Dragon Pass.
Brief history of Glorantha and Dragon Pass. Detailed history of Sartar
and Lunar. Myth, maps, runes, clans, magic items, etc...
- Rich cult information.
For Player characters ...
Orlanth, Humakt, Storm Bull, Charana Arroy, Issaries, Lhanker Mhy,
Yelmalio, Ernalda, Odayra, Babeester Gor, Lanbril, Eurmal, Dnandar.
For NPCs or Enemies ...
Kygor Litor, Zorak Zoran, Mostal, Aldrya, 7 Mothers, Etiryes, Krasht,
Malia, Bagog, Thed, Thanatar, Vivamort, Bloody Tusk.
- Simplified Character Generation (Cult-based template method).
- Only two Skill Categories. Mental skills and Physical skills.
Mental skill mod is INT score. Physical skill mod is DEX score.
- No ENC. No Fatigue. No Hit Location. No Strike Rank but DEX-Rank.
- No Resistance Roll but Characteristic Roll does.
- No Special Hit. Only Critical on 1/10 of success chance.
- RQ2-like Impale/Slash/Crush rules.
- No enchant. No ritual magic. No shaman. No sorcery.
- No starndard Rune Magics. 3 to 5 Rune Magics for every cult.
Ex. Orlanth: <Thundar Bolts> <Shield> <Flight> <Lightening Bolts>
Especially the only suppliment named "Dragon Atlas" is EXCELLENT.
I prefer RQ90s more than RQ3.
Regards.
