I had a few comments on the 12 point plan that was presented to get
RuneQuest moving...
>(viii.) There should be magazine support. Chaosium have recently been
Greg Stafford has been the one writing a good number of those articles,
which makes it official support. If you haven't caught those articles,
the magazine in question is White Wolf, and the articles have all been
write-ups of various Gods for RQIII. If you're interested in trying
to find the back issues, here's a run-down of what's what (White Wolf
is currently sitting at issue #25, Feb./March, and is alledgly published
bi-monthly).
#15 Cult of Mostal
#16 Cults of Yelm
#18 Cult of Donandar
#20 Cult of Lodril
#22 Cult of Bagog, the Scorpion Queen

Ral Partha has re-issued the RuneQuest miniatures. They are no longer
being put out in the boxes, unfortunately, but rather have been
repackaged in blister packs. Most of the packs have two to four
miniatures in them. The lowest ones seem to be $4 (usually for 3
miniatures) and the highest ones are around $7 (for the larger
miniatures, several in a pack). There are seventeen packs out right
now, which is somewhere near what they originally planned to put out,
which means, I assume, that they have repackaged all of the boxes
(with the possible exception of some of the Viking stuff). They'll
probably decide whether to make more or not depending upon sales.
If you're interested in ordering the miniatures from Ral Partha, they
are numbered 18-001 through 18-017.
