Designed to bring the original RuneQuest up to the 21st Century, this main rulebook contains all you need to explore the many fantasy worlds possible with RuneQuest. Attention has been applied to keep this main rulebook down to a sensible (and easy on the wallet!) 100 pages, while layout has been refined to make the book easy to read and fast to pick up, allowing players to comprehend sections of the rules with a mere glance - meaning less time flicking through the book and more time playing! As well as character creation, the RuneQuest main rulebook provides full rules for skills, cults/guilds, combat, adventuring, monsters and Rune Magic, the first magic system introduced for the latest edition of RuneQuest. Eminently expandable to any fantasy setting, RuneQuest is supported in 2006 by Mongoose Publishing with the Glorantha and Lankhmar worlds, while other publishers are free to introduce their own settings, due to the Open Content licence available for the game.

| 3 + 4 | Lev Lafayette | RuneQuest Deluxe. The three-in-one publication is a welcome compendium to the Mongoose RuneQuest line. The general game system is good but suffers from numerous, and sometimes serious, glitches. Stylistically average the book is reads well, but without flair. [ Read Review ] |
| 3 + 3 | Simon Hibbs | RuneQuest (Mongoose Edition). A streamlined, action packed new edition of RuneQuest that cuts away the fat but also incorporates a few odd design decisions. [ Read Review ] |

| 6 / 10 | Thanuir | Kind of like D&D, but feels more organic. |
| 6 / 10 | g026r | As a generic system it's not bad but also not amazing. Some of the original rules (such as the skills greater than 100% one) don't work without the Player's Update PDF. Loses points for the price-per-page. Yikes! Buy it used or grab the Deluxe rulebook that contains Companion and Monsters. |
