Chaosium plans to release a new version of RuneQuest, based on RuneQuest 2 and integrating some ideas from Pendragon to make using Rune powers more fun.
Designing the New RuneQuest:
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
Part 4
Part 5
Part 6
Part 7
Part 8
Part 9
If I understood the design blog correctly, they are going to add runic powers in a similar way as Pendragon offers you knightly virtues. Basically, you are aligned to a certain set of runes and get rewarded if you follow their way, but suffer penalties if you act against them. Also, the life path extends beyond your apprenticeship and now includes your parents and grandparents heroic deeds (also drawn from Pendragon). That sounds rather promising, even though I was first sceptical abouts Chaosiums decision not to base their version on an existing version of RuneQuest.
