Lost in the fog

 A new year, a new CCC. I will start with another Runequest character, as I am assuming Runequest will end up being my most played game in 2024 - and I still do not fully grasp the finer points of character creation and the rules. So here we go! Fundamentals/Concept Since there is fair amount of random involved in Runequest character generation with the stats, planning a concept for one specific character is hard. The previous character I made on this blog got to be the chaos hating farmer who is a member of the Humakt cult, with a tragic family history and a bit of a mean streak.

But guiding people through this extensive character creation without having done it myself seems a bit daunting, so it's time to break the 8 month CCC break and get going again. The Fundamentals The system was one of the original users of the Basic...
