It's been mentioned on Bluesky (by @brianduguid.bsky.social) that it'll be out in PoD too.

Those darn players, I'm doing so much homework! 😒 Seriously, though, where are these handouts?

And 👆this👆, too ! 😁 I consider these books mandatory for a Nochet and/or Esrolia campaign (unless you have a very-clear YGWV vision of your own); and at least very-strongly-recommended even if you are Varying. Oh I do intend to get these if my group is coming down from Alda-Chur to Esrolia! But at the moment I am just trying to get my bearings on the basics those characters will know.

Thank you for the advice! I'm reading through Arcane Lore at the moment and me and a friend are thoroughly interested in it. I've been reading around to make some little write-ups for my players, and as I started reading up on Esrolia I became curious about the Red Earth, Warm Earth and Old Earth Alliances. It's only mentioned briefly in R:RiG, and I've read the sections in both the Glorantha Sourcebook and the Lands of RuneQuest: Dragon Pass books. From what I gather, the Red Earth were pro-lunarisation? I assume this is the idea that Ernalda will wed the Red Moon, which they call Sedenya (at least, that is how someone in my other topic about favourite Cults put it)? And are they utterly gone now, or still a presence? Or, is this a YGMV/YGWV situation? (I suppose every situation is one, but you get what I mean!) I guess from the name that the Warm Earth Alliance are Caladralanders, and the Old Earth Alliance are Esrolians who refuse lunarisation. But then why the difference? Do these two come into conflict as well?

As I mentioned, I've been thinking about writing a short selection of adventures for people to do in Alda-Chur / Alone. I really like the social dynamics I can build in The Far Point, and I have so many ideas! Of course, this is only a jumping-off point. I'll check the guidelines, but from this (and WF15) I'd only want to take the list of tribes names and general vibe, the population figures, and the list of shrines. And thanks for pointing this out. I hadn't really considered if I'd get help. At the moment it only feels like it'd be a short write-up, but I suppose these things can grow! This is a problem for way later, but I may need to find people for that. I'm the local RQ fan in my friend group and they're yet to play. Thank you both for your help! I'll get cracking on an outline after I read the guidelindes, and then check out those groups.

The title says it all really. I've been tempted to write something for CoC for a long time, and as I'm planning my campaign (see the Starting my First game thread) I've been curious about maybe taking that creativity to the Jonstown Compedium instead. I'm only thinking small for the time being, and I'd probably have it centered around Alda-Chur.

Noted! I picked up: - The Glorious Reascent of Yelm - Arcane Lore (I know very little of Heroquests, only what King of Dragon Pass and Six Ages goes into. - The Middle Sea Empire (Curiousity) - Esrolia, The Land of Ten Thousand Goddesses (as two of my players are Esrolian and know little of it)

I understood they were pretty powerful, I just didn't understand what tied them to be loyal to Sartar. I suppose the 1625ST situation is that Kallyr needs to prove her legitimacy to them to reinstate the old allegiance? Ooh I'll look into that. I was mostly going cult-by-cult but I didn't really thumb through the bestiary. Thank you. On another note, I now have some rough plans for my story moving forwards, so I'm turning to read the King of Sartar. Would folks recommend any of the other 9 books in the Stafford Library?

Are all Hsunchen chaotic, or just Telmori? Either way, why? And why aren't Telmori targetted more often?

Do all of these tribes transform from human to animal form, or is that just Telmori? Also, do they have a hybrid form?

I love this.

This is not something I'd ever really want to run, more just a thought experiment. What would Glorantha be like in 5600ST, if we were to assume they progressed at a similar rate to Earth? What would Cults be like? How would Runes fit into a modern world? Would they progress differently to Earth due to these factors?

Still working away on the first few bits-and-peices and a thought arises. Is there a god of Badgers? Or is that just Flanar(?) God of Carnivores? Because I think badgers are adorable and may make a spirit cult.

I’m still working on the details of those Wyters for each military wing in the Lunar Barracks, and as a bit of a side-project whilst I mull that over I was designing a villain. What Cult would be best for a mesmerist villain?

Thanks for all the links there!
