How much would you pay?

Well, I buckled and got my Runequest 6 PDF (and softback is on the way).

And I so wanted to be strong about this.

PS- supposedly the 7 inch (or so) iPad Mini is due this Fall

I bought a Nook Color in the hopes it would do the trick, but the PDF reader fell far short of my requirements as stated.

I tried rooting it with the latest Android OS (Honeycomb at that time) but still couldn't find a PDF reader that fit the bill. And the 7-in. screen bugged the * out of me; it made me feel like I was reading through the wrong end of a telescope.

I got the chance to pick up one of the $99 HP TouchPads and was excited when I noticed it came with a Reader from Adobe, but was once again disappointed as it lacked any of the features I looked for.

The search continues...

Get one of the new tablets. ASUS and dell are really good choice as are HP. A few of the boys here have the Samsung and love it.. you could try that route

Reading through parts of Runequest tonight (sitting with the kids as they watch "Secret of Arrietty"), it's funny that I'm mentally converting the rules back to BASH. Or at least thinking "you can do this in same thing in BASH but with a lot less math".

So, will no doubt use Runequest as a "reference" (since it does have tons of ideas/concepts) but would most likely use BASH as the actual game engine.

I suppose a good experiment would be to make the same character in both games and see which has the best "feel" for what I envision the character to be.

After reading some of the PDF, I ended up cancelling the print order.

I'm saving my $$$ for Legends of Steel and Bash Fantasy UE when they come out.

So, my nostalgia for Runequest was short-lived....and basically when it comes to RPG's "I've been BASHed".

I have MRQ2 and its fine, IDK about RQ6 seems a little too pricey for a B&W softcover book to me, when RQ2 and Legend do everything it does already for less. It's mainly so they can reel in Glorantha, that 200lb Gorilla world. I never liked it anyhow and never will, I always disliked that setting.
