Re: [RPG]: RuneQuest Deluxe, reviewed by Lev Lafayette (3/4)

In actual play, the minotaur did indeed go down once, to a griphon. In a moment that can only be described as "One of those memorable scenes", the player with the character described as "A skinny little Mayan-esque shaman type" with a sharp stick ran up, jabbed the Griphon in it's wounded spot and critted. He got 1 point through. The griphon failed its resillience check and croaked. It was absolutely awesome.....!

But I was actually waiting for a TPK to unfold before my eyes if the minotaur dropped before any real damage was dished out to the primary monster....they just got lucky, I think!

On the RQ2 book issue: pretty much right on. That book was a rare classic, and hard to beat; many of the older Chaosium games had that certain flaire that newer games are often missing.
