The 'Unnatural Selections' series is our regular round up of notable Chaosium reviews worth a look.
On his Designers & Dragons Facebook page, RPG historian Shannon Appelcline has been writing different "inspirational, influential, or innovative" RPGs over the course of the month, alphabetically.
For "R" he chose RuneQuest, and his essay concludes, "There can be no doubt that RuneQuest has been deeply influential in a way that few games other than D&D itself were."
