  • RPG Biography
    Played my first RPG in 1977, moved to RuneQuest very quickly. Ran the Convulsion Convention 1992 to 2002 with a large Chaosium presence. I have writing credits for HQ2 Glorantha Publications, the Guide to Glorantha, notably in the Wastelands chapter and am one of the co-authors of HeroQuest Glorantha, and credits in RQG. Have run a weekly RPG club since 1989. My favourite games are HeroQuest Glorantha, Traveller (MegaTraveller engine), Torg 1ed, Exalted 2ed, Pendragon, 3:16, DramaSystem and various campaigns using HeroQuest 2.

    I've two accounts on BRPcentral. This is my fan account, my work account is @scotty. I've played most, maybe all of the Chaosium era BRP based games, my favourites are: RuneQuest, Ringworld and Call of Cthulhu. I also enjoyed Stormbringer, Elric and Future World, less so ElfQuest and SuperWorld...

  1. Yes. See the RQ Bestiary. In addition to standard demons, it has nyctalopes, Hollri, and the Crimson Bat. This is with the caveat that The term “demon” encompasses a wide array of Underworld spirits.
  2. We were at Pickering Psychopathic Hospital last night, visiting Cecil Hunter. Dr Ronayne was very helpful in answering the groups questions, while Jacob (our MU Janitor) took some time to visit his old friend and groundskeeper Eric Sykes. Much hilarity ensued when they recalled their youthful mishap with a plank. (It was fantastic to have all the information at my fingertips and a plan of the hospital.) Now I just need an Arkham Deck...

  4. No. It teaches that Chaos is, in itself, neither evil nor inimical. It makes a person free from automatic fear of Chaos and the obsession to destroy it. (from Cults of Terror and The Lunar Way). One of the special abilities that some illuminates have, is that with a successful illumination skill roll they will not register with Sense Chaos.

    Otters ...

    Otter refs on the Well of Daliath: https://wellofdaliath.chaosium.com/?s=otter See also Heort and a salmon and otter ghost, page 123, Heortling Mythology. This explains why there are no otters in the Creekstream River or Choralinthor Bay Lutrai is pretty specific to Blood Over Gold (and hasn't appeared anywhere since - so giant intelligent otters is likely the best thing to search for
  6. The system is Arduin Grimoire: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arduin The original post is archived here: https://wellofdaliath.chaosium.com/notes-on-jar-eel-the-razoress-i/ "From Wyrm’s Footprints (1995) artist Dan Barker, and originally Wyrms Footnotes #02 (1977)"
  7. This is effectively Call Founder (RBM 21 and LB 147) where the emergency is so great an avatar or (as @Nick Brooke says) a khan heroforms Waha. This is mainly so he can appear on the board in the Hero Wars or other earlier event: Waha has no combat factor, a very high magic factor, a good move and disrupts chaos units automatically. (Disrupted units may not move nor attack)
  8. That's actually Jaldon!
  9. As movement points are based on the slowest member of the group. For heavily armed and armoured adventurers on foot we had a -1 penalty. We always assumed that no one wore a full helmet. As most groups moved at 8 (mules and guards), it was never an issue, as most were lightly armed and armoured.
  10. Matthew also takes it out to play. I suspect he will bring it again to Continuum 2024 (UK) with a virtual headset, so you can walk around inside the model.
  11. See Matthew Cole's 3D reproduction for his upcoming book Vistas of Pavis over on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/781629412619888/ Here are a few recent images (click to enlarge):

    Sun Temple

    It sounds like it's based on the Konark Sun temple with only 10 wheels instead of 24 (5 seasons, instead of 12 months) , so maybe it's smaller. It's easier to see in a 3d model: https://www.3ds.com/progress-is-human/heritage-and-future/konark-sun-temple this one doesn't have the larger tower at the back, but I like it better https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/konark-sun-temple-jagmohanaodisha-6a5493c95d1d462f9861d28f86b774ae The wikipedia article isn't that clear : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konark_Sun_Temple
  13. For the spreads I just extracted the pages from the pdf as images slid them together (removing the boarder and printed out at A3.
