Commentry

Runerites was edited by Oliver Dickinson, from reader and freelance contributions. An overview of the articles shows the recurrence of several themes, Close Combat rules, Alchemy, Barbarians and Necromancers, along with Celtic Mythos (in both the Goblin and their own articles). Some of these may be seen as filling the 'gaps' in Runequest to make it more D&D-like. During this period Games Workshop published a UK edition under license (the 1980 Runequest II).

Commentry

The article "RuneQuest Ruminations : Thoughts on RuneQuest3" considers the demise of the game due to the new, highly expensive boxed set put out by Avalon Hill. Games Workshop. !0 months later, GW announce the publication of a UK edition of Runequest III, yet between then and the cessation of Runequest articles in WD meerly two years later, there are barely 9 Runequest articles published, under half the number of articles to support the previous edition of game.
