    I did not start using RuneQuest until the late 1990's. I ran a RQ 2-3 mix, for two separate groups around that time. I recently got my chance to finally play in some RuneQuest groups.

    I'm interested in the early works (RQ 1-3) on Glorantha, by Greg, Chaosium Staff, and Fans. I'm definitely not an RQ/Glorantha scholar, nor do I wish to become one.
    I recently acquired copies of older (1990's Chaosium) books and I love them.

  1. I love the idea of the Compromise of the Red Goddess as an amendment to "the Great Compromise"! It sounds like MGF, and another way AllGMV!
  2. The Cleansed One is such an interesting bit character. I have only ever heard a line or two about him.
  3. As someone more interested in Gaming in non-canonical Glorantha (My GM's GWV), I had a question that arose from reading another Topic: With the Glorantha Sourcebook, The Guide, and Mythology out now is reading the King Of Sartar (KOS) still very important to understanding Glorantha (as a setting for games)? Opinions appreciated please (and as always Mods please let me know if this is a Not Okay topic). (P.S. I do love Greg Stafford's writings, but KOS is his one work that I find almost impenetrable.)
  4. I don't want to derail the thread, so I have a few questions on another thread. <Edited heavily>
  5. To quote Sir Homer Simpson, "Douh!!!" ...And thank you all for your help.
  6. That is an absolutely Beautiful Book! I must now look for it! Katrin Dirim is now on my list of favorite fantasy Artists.
  7. In order of accessibility (and least time investment) to most: Children's books of Norse and Greek mythology by D'Aulaires, The Prince of Sartar webcomic, Princess Mononoke, Robert Silverberg's Gilgamesh, The Mahabharata, the BBC version on Youtube. Parts one and two (part three is still perplexing to me).
  8. Hmm, maybe I should have voted for my age fifteen years ago?
  9. I agree with @g33k. In fact, I would love to see this. I apologize if I seem passionate about this, but I have felt very frustrated because I don't see this. I have not been a member of this forum long, and I don't often contribute opinions but finding a RQ game was why I joined the BRPC Forum. Because Roll20 does not have many Games of RQ. And Reddit's LFG has no section for RQ, period. The unofficial Chaosium Discord has been really helpful in finding some games (it's the only space I see QW/HQ even mentioned as an option, and that's only as PbP). I only heard that the Discord existed once I was a member here on the forum. I think a thread here would not be as easily found. Even pinned if you didn't know where to search for it, you would have to submit a Search function Query if it's not the last item commented on. I didn't know about the power of the search function on this site for months as a member here. A new person would have to ask the...mods? members? and that assumes they're comfortable with that. Even now knowing how to use the Search function, there's little to find. I know Chaosium is working with another company on this, and I'm sure it will work out in the long run for everyone. Until then...
  10. The web comic is BRILLIANT! I found the story and art beautiful!
  11. Thank you @jajagappa, I have been really busy. I looked at your PbP ideas and the Links you posted for RPGgeek. That maybe a good forum for me to try. @jajagappa what made your group avoid using a Discord or Roll20? Has anyone tried Discord or Roll20 for a PbP? Experiences and feedback welcome, thank you!
  12. I wanted to get feedback from other GM's on running a Pbp RQ game (possibly with Theatre of the Mind Combat). How did your game go? How often did you do posts? What server/forum/site were you on? Thank you!
  13. Welcome Ojvind!! This is a pretty friendly and welcoming board, enjoy yourself!
  14. Griffin Mountain tossed out another version of previous experience for young (Barbarian) Balazaring's, and (@ffilz's favorite) RQ 1st ed. had Noble as a skilled background.
