I will get both eventually

The Sourcebook is a collection of the classic articles mostly from the late 70s and early 80s that made us all fall in love with Glorantha, somewhat reworked and beautifully illustrated with lavish cartography. It’s incredibly useful if you’re playing a game set in Dragon Pass or the Lunar Empire, as those are the only areas detailed, but the Gods & Goddesses articles (worked throughout the Theogony section, inc. illustrated genealogies and maps of the Godtime) are foundational stuff and no Glorantha fan can afford to miss them.

The Guide is mostly a survey and gazetteer of the Surface World, albeit one that goes into phenomenal detail (every significant town and landmark gets a writeup). There are excellent overviews covering all sorts of things (eight human cultures and the Elder Races; the Sky, the Moon, the Gods Wall, the Hero Wars), but it’s fairly light on myth (you get far more from the Theogony in the Sourcebook).

When I’m playing RQ, I keep the Sourcebook handy, and sometimes read aloud from it at the table (esp. if I’m covering a well-known myth or a recent historical event). When I’m writing scenarios or setting material, I keep referring to the Guide: it’s an amazing resource, a treasure-trove of good ideas, and very Ctrl+F-able, if you take my meaning. 

Good stuff. I know I am saving for both!

Have a look to this content comparison to the Glorantha Sourcebook with the Guide to Glorantha.

Wow! Thanks!

Thank you so much for the advice! 

I am looking at supplements. Does Vol 1 and Vol2 cover the same or more material as the Source book, or is it a total of three books?

OK so I have not missed them. Thank you

The Character Generation process tells you to figure out the birthday of the character. It tells you to pick handedness, and gives you a move score. Are any of these even on the character sheet? Four pages and I don't see them.
