I recently bought runebound and played 3x times at solo and 2x times with 2 or 3 players. I love the RPG Fantasy theme with some quests, combats, levels experience of heroes, custom variants. I have played too Descent with my friends. I'm such adept of any fantasy Gaming such D&D 3.5 Pen & Paper , Neverwinter Nights, Diablo.
It seems that the Runebound has stopped advancing, since 1 year when the Frozen Wastes came out.
I have some ideas that i will post later.
i would like to share this post to all fans and the creators of this world of Runebound.
Why not creating a new expansion for Runebound?
The new expansion could include a new campaign for Cooperative multiplayer gaming. This new campaign will need some heroes (2-6 players) to form a party, setting for the adventures facing new dangers in the new world of Runebound.
The new world of Runebound could be a full continent divided to 3 Full Scale Regions. Each region could be an expansion with board and campaigns.
Example: The 1st could be the West Region of continent, then the 2nd could be the Center and the 3rd could be the East of Continent. Then there would be the last expansion.
Then Later could have the last expansion, only containing cards and new rules for fast travels, which will give a new campaign that combines those 3 region into 1.
Each expansion could have a individual story telling about some Evil characters that are bringing chaos in each region for certain reason that's unknow. Only the Last expansion, the 4th, will unveil the plot and will risen some Epic Evil Character on which a party of heroes must face to save the New World of Runebound.
For this new world, i think that instead of having adventures counters on map, we could have an specific area to trigger an aventure card. To determine which color of card to draw, we could only need to draw a card accordly to the level of hero.
Level 1 = Green Card; Level 2 = Green; Level 3 = Green, Yellow; Level 4 = Yellow; Level 5 = Yellow, Blue; Level 6 = Blue.....
This new game would required a big revision of rules for multiplayer Co-op. I think the marketplace should have 3 items like Weapons, Armours, Misc (Potions, Artifacts, etc...). The allies can be hired from some events, encounters and special locations like Mercenairies camp, Garrisons, etc.. that are scattered in the region. In order to hire them, it would require some special skill tests from heroes and gold.
About the rest of ideas, i'm leaving to the all people to share. I will post some more later after playing more. So Please feel free to post some ideas and impressions to give motivations for the creators to make Runebound World Live.
