The time has come to launch the roleplaying game RuneQuest into the spotlight. This great game has been around for decades and unfortunately has been out of print for years. We know that there are many of us that have been greatly disappointed with this development and have already created our own resources to replace what might have been printed. It is the purpose of this declaration to officially ask the loyal RuneQuest community to continue on. We must always fight for the game to be re-published as it was originally and to continue creating resources for all of us to enjoy. As a community of roleplayers, we must come together to immortalize RuneQuest and ensure that it never dies.

To this end we will continue expanding our own website and encourage all others to continue as well. We also call upon all Runequesters that do not have a website, to create one when possible, so that they can share their ideas with all of us if desired. We invite any who visit our pages to consider learning about and playing RuneQuest. We have created an area where newbies may come to find Runequesters in their local area to game with. We should help and encourage these new players and show them how much fun and enjoyment roleplaying gives us.

Finally, we would like to thank all of those who continue to support and immortalize RuneQuest. It pleases us that so many players are now online and that resources abound for all of us. May the game to continue to grow. Remember to always enjoy the roleplaying experience and keep it alive within your imagination.

Update: Mongoose Publishing has announced that the legendary RuneQuest roleplaying game will be added to their licensed publications in June 2006.
