I sit down to share my review of the latest entry into the Cults of RuneQuest series, from Chaosium Inc, for the RuneQuest roleplaying game. The book contains all you need to know about 15 cults of various sizes and influence including the history of the deific worship, hierarchy within each cult as well new player character options. There’s a detailed history of the Lunar Empire and its relationship with the Red Emperor plus a new type of magic and an Illumination mechanic.

SUMMARY

The Lunar Way is yet another fantastic release in the Cults of RuneQuest series. The volume is not only packed with info you'll also find much of it of use at your game table; sure there's history and background on the cults but also loads of new spells and player character options. The production quality is fantastic and this really is an absolute must own if you're interested in the Lunar Empire and the deities its peoples worship.
