  1. I voted softcover, as I don't really like hardcovers at all.
  2. In my Glorantha, Umath was born from the union of Earth and Sky and did lift the Shy from the Earth. My Glorantha is very mythical in nature and the myths are, more often than not, actual representations of what happened, rather than analogies.
  3. Glorantha Classics, in particular Cults Compendium, also Sartar and Sartar Companion.
  4. I saw a playtest version of RuneQuest at UKGE and it looks pretty good to me. With artwork and a nice cover it should look very good indeed.
  5. Hopefully you'll find this a very friendly forum. If you have the PDF then you might be able to extract the images from the PDF with some cheap software, or use the Snipping Toool to pull out artwork. Once you have it as a saved image then you can use a paint package to cut bits out, hide bits or amend it however you would like. That's what I try to do if I need player handouts from published supplements.
  6. From a personal point of view, I bought the RuneQuest Classics as PDFs and will buy the RQ3 supplements if they are brought out in a similar way. Why? Because I loved those supplements and would like to own them as PDFs, legally. So, if there are a thousand people like me then that would be a good business model. However, I do agree that there is not a need to produce a new set of rules for each setting. Having a core set of RuneQuest rules and then modifications for settings works best for me. As supplements for BRP/RQ/OpenQuest/Legend/Mythras/Revolution can be fairly easily used in any of the settings, we will end up with a lot of interoperable supplements, which is good for fans.
  7. Revolution D100 is a fine system. Advantages and Traits work really well, for example. I take what I like from various systems and use them in my RuneQuest rules. If I started a new campaign, I would definitely use Traits and Advantages from RD100, alongside hero Points, runes and various other rules from other systems. That's the best thing about D100 systems - You can mix and match rules and they normally work without a problem.
  8. I just assume that Bronze is the "normal" metal and leave it at that. Other metals are strange/magical, Iron is a military metal for Rune Lords (and Dwarves or Sorcerers but they aren't normal anyway), Lead is for trolls, Copper for elves and earthy folk, aluminium for water folk (and quicksilver if you want to be flashy), gold for Sky folk, Tin for Storm folk and Wind Children and Silver for Lunars. Players might want to think of them as their earthly analogues, in fact I often do. But, they are in essence magical metals.
  9. They are probably too busy gaming and circulating. Eternalcon is a great convention, but spare time to provide updates is very scarce indeed.
  10. Revolution D100 has an elegant way of doing this. You have core skills and than gain traits. So, you might have Stealth as a core skill but have the Traits of Move Quietly, Hide in Cover or Forest, giving you a bonus to your Strealtyh if you are trying to Move Silently or Hide in Cover, with a double bonus if doing so in a Forest. It works really well and immediately removes the need for multiple skill trees for different genres.
  11. I've backed it now, but only at PDF level - My wife won't let me buy new RPG books!

  13. I expected something completely different, based on the title. Whilst Historia Rodentia is not my cup of tea, it sounds perfect for what was described.
  14. Just been at Alephtar's stall at UK Games Expo and Merrie England:Robyn Hode looks very nice indeed. We are there all weekend, so pop in if you are passing.
  15. Wecome to the world of Gloranthan fandom!
  16. I have run SuperHeroQuest several times at conventions and I think it has gone really well. HeroQuest works well for Supers, especially HQ1.
  17. That's the idea - We improve yours, we look at yours and improve ours, repeat as aften as required.
  18. I had a look and can't find any spreadsheets or HTML regarding this, so probably gave up. I have some conversions of ILH2 and CoG Cults which show what I think the Associate Cults are, if that helps. Also, some Associate Cults are at My converted Hero Wars cults but they might be hard to extract. Let me know/PM me your email if you want the conversions.
  19. In my Balazar, Votank was the son of Durbaddath, but was Abandoned as a baby. Hearth Mother found Votank and raised him as Foundchild the Hunter. I like the Griffin Island version of Votank as a Hunter/Ancestor. Perhaps Votank was abandoned because he had no obvious lion/goat features.
  20. What if you want the Digital package and a T-Shirt? I have no interest in print books nowadays but might be interested in the T-Shirt as an add-on. Is this possible?
  21. Personally, no, as I cannot understand why you wouldn't want to use Hit Locations.
  22. I am running two sessions of Robyn Hode at UK Expo: Friday afternoon: The Morris Miners http://www.ukgamesexpo.co.uk/game.php?id=RPG3143 Saturday afternoon: Going A-Rescuing http://www.ukgamesexpo.co.uk/game.php?id=RPG3144 There's spaces available, so if you're in the area and free in those slots, come and game. Thanks to Dimbyd for pointing this out.
  23. Thanks, I haven't had notification of these and was going to check later today.
  24. Here's how I would do them: Black Sun - Darness and Solar Bloody Tusk - Darkness Caladra & Aurelion: Kethaelan? - Probably Solar and Earth Donandar - Solar (Also Storm, as Donandar is the father of Orlanth's Drummer) Dorasta - Earth and Chaos Frog Woman: Wastelands? - Water Golden Bow: Pure Horse? - Solar, specifically Pentian Solar Golden Eagle: Storm? - Solar and perhaps Praxian, definitely not Storm Golden Horse: Pure Horse? - Solar, specifically Pentian Solar River Horse: Praxian? - Water and perhaps Praxian
  25. I'd give Citadel dwellers the Light Rune and Votanki the Earth Rune as a default. Others would depend on individual variations. It might be nice to list the Balazar clans and put a recommended Rune against each. In my Glorantha, the Citadel dwellers worship Mralota as the Pig Goddess, who teaches them how to farm pigs, the other Votaki worship her as Boar Mother, who provides wild pigs for them to hunt.
