We've added an Art of RuneQuest page to give you a preview of some of the interior art for the book. Most of the pictures come from the creatures chapter and, in time, we'll change and expand the previews to give a more comprehensive flavour. Our particular favourites are the cyclops and chaos hybrid (inspired by a well-known goat-based anthropomorph) but the standard of art from our illustrators is incredibly high and make choosing favourites quite difficult.Enjoy the previews!

Pascal, who has done some outstanding covers for roleplaying games, has taken that original and created a beautiful and unique take on the imagery.The artwork depicts Anathaym, a Meerish warrior of the Cult of Theera, under ambush by a cunning, predatory, Slargr (pronounced SL...

As promised, RQ6 is aiming for elegance. Elegance in the rules, obviously, but also in the look and feel of the finished book. Ju... Continue reading...

We've formally commissioned the RQ6 cover and are very excited about how it will look. The artist remains anonymous for now, as does the subject matter, but we issued a very detailed briefing document on what we're looking for. Before that, we commissioned several preliminary sketches from a variety of artist so that we could be certain we had an illustrator who could deliver on the vision we have in mind. As soon as we have something to share, we'll share it. One thing I can promise though, is... Continue reading...
