Started my new job yesterday will take me some time to get back into the swing of things and not end up falling asleep straight after dinner. I'll try and keep myself running but if I slip behind Richard will try to follow the masses and blend in (preferably behind the blood splatter 
)

I tried to organis the meeting with the horn player as I was a little stuck as to where my character would lead things and hoped some of the more "action" orientated character would pick up where I left an opening once the meeting was to start.
As no-one has though I may force us down the "lets form a band route" until someone flips out and shoots someone

I can do the hooting thing mate but I was expecting a couple of the others to have some more probing questions with regards to their backgrounds and ex employers!
Yes it is an old system Raving, very old indeed! I didn't think it was runequest though, the game of inifinite tables!

Erm, think you are cofusing RQ with Rolemaster (or Rulesmaster as we call it!). Runequest only has two tables needed in game, crit table and pow v pow table. And TBH if you play twice you can do the pow v pow one in your head. Yeah some of the supliments have treasure/found item tables but most peeps I know never use them anyway. Original D&D had vastly more amounts of charts and tables, and Rulesmaster took it to the nth degree. Been playing RQ since 1980 and the reason that I love it so much is the simple d 100 rolls and lack of "i'll just have to look this up in the rules, cross reference it on 3 tables then get out my calculator"

As a Gm of 26 years standing, I can honestly say that the best games I have run have been those where I just did it off the top of my head, no prep or scenario to work from. The wingit stuff always seems to produce memorable games. Mind you, helps to know the world and system inside out - I sometimes feel like I live in Glorantha Games with hundreds of books and charts always seem to leave the players bored and half the night is wasted thumbing through supliments. A case in point was cyberpunk games. Ran FASA's Shadowrun and it was awful, despite the great setting and some nice ideas. Ran virtually the same stuff with the Cyberpunk game which kept everything simple, and it was excellent. Another was C&S Vs Pendragon. Playing C&S was like attending a very boring lecture on medieval microsystems and the much simpler pendragon was a blast.
