  1. Book 1, page 2 "The RuneQuest Starter Set is based its newest edition, RuneQuest: Roleplaying in Glorantha." I guess the word 'on' or 'upon' is missing.
  2. The Investiture of the Gods definitely has many aspects that may be inspirational to Gloranthan referees, be it tales from the Godtime, heroquest ideas, magical weapons... There is a manga adaptation of it called Hōshin Engi, available in English (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoshin_Engi). I have read both, and I recommend the latter if you're not ready to read a 1,000+ page long novel full of unfamiliar references.
  3. I am trying to track down the very first appearance of the Shadow Rune. Still unsuccessfully at the moment.
  4. Mentioned in WF #1, on p28: "MASTERS OF MAGIC are the most advanced individuals in the thaumaturgical arts, and possess powers which are denied to any others. The Lunar Mistress of Magic is the daughter of the Red Moon. The Sartar Master is the Royal Librarian, while the Independent is Aristos the Philosopher, who often spends his years meditating in the Pass." Who is he?
  5. So has anybody ever used this race from Snakepipe Hollow elsewhere?
  6. Now I need a "third printing" with serviceable Alchemy rules 🙂
  7. Thank you. Wow, a difference in size of almost 20 MB. Where's the changelog? 🙂
  8. GtG p325-327 "Castle Blue: The Hidden Castle behind the mists of Lake Oronin is home to a race of magical beings who include Charmain, the divine ancestress who bestowed royal power on the Shahs of Carmania. As with other Hidden Castles, most mortals cannot attain Castle Blue, which is not wholly of this world." 1- Any information about other Hidden Castles? (Castle Blue is the only one mentioned in the Guide) 2- "not wholly of this world" --> what world, then? (see also Wyrms Footnotes issue No.10, p16)
  9. OK, I have a tentative time-line here, thanks to Daniel Fahey (slightly different from @soltakss') https://2ndage.blogspot.com/2020/07/griselda-stories-time-line.html Feel free to comment.
  10. OMG downloaded the rules; hope to find some time during my hols to read them.
  11. I'd actually love to see a "graphic novel"-style Gloranthan comic book by Jan, the continuation of Prince of Sartar by Kalin, and humorous vignettes by Dario. With covers by Dan for all of them 🙂
  12. "Cane canaille" is pretty good-- especially if she dances the can-can.
  13. FWIW we are using the Dream/Thella Rune and the Dragon Rune a lot in our Ignorance & Kralorela games.
  14. Fascinating stuff to read! ..and plenty of ideas for Kralorela. https://www.scmp.com/magazines/post-magazine/long-reads/article/3080219/liangzhu-5000-year-old-chinese-civilisation-time
  15. From https://wellofdaliath.chaosium.com/home/gloranthan-documents/glorantha-2/intro-mythos/: Who is the fasting prophet? Which Kingdom has he appeared in? Ignorance?
  16. My online RQG GM (Steve; I don't think he's on this forum) has created a zillion macros and we have just about everything needed to play on Roll20: strike ranks, augments, spell effects, spell durations,... but he's been improving that for two years now. Maybe Chaosium should simply purchase his macros 🙂
  17. (Real question) Is it on purpose that it is less appealing to create a sorcerous character than a theist one?
  18. Soon... (alas only in print 'n play)
  19. Do we know who created the Runes as illustrated in the classic RQ2 book? They are much more evocative and beautiful than the ones in the RQ1 book.
