We’ll jest picked up my family’s tickets for GenCon we had a great time last year and are looking forward to this year. Will be running some games agin this year I was wondering if anyone had any requests for adventure they would like to see available? Classic fantasy always works out well as it is a name that People search for when they’re looking for a event to get a ticket for. When I ran classic fantasy all the slots were gone within the first 15 minutes so it is a wonderful product to use to introduce people to Mythras.

We’ll Jest purchased my family’s GenCon Bages we had a grate time as a family last year. My kids enjoyed GenCon more then DisneyWorld so if you never taken your family I would encourage you to do so. Looking forward to this year.

Excited but i must admit I been excited for all of TDM Products. Each has something great to add to my games. And there so well written, I have thoroughly enjoyed reading through each of TDMs products. Hopefully I’ll have more chance to play this year. I with my new job I’ve had very little opportunity do to excessive to travel and work hours.

Picked 2 up, thanks for getting it out before Christmas.

Yes it has much more of an old school feel.

So in implementing the forementioned ideas I was thinking A teem based scavenger hunt Would start with Dwarfen letter Describing how to find the parts and assemble the key to the world machine vault. Each part or clue for the key will be some fun activity, requiring multiple specialized skills to accomplish. So each of the kids would have a simplified Hero Quest like PC sheet describing your 4 or 5 special abilities. The activity set up so that each of kids abliitys become required at some point. I already have a zip line, Rope bridge, rope swing and three Fort on my property so I think will utilize those. Given each a neat Glorathan description or situation. Would probably set up balance beam. A Nerf crossbow station where some of the kids are undead with paper cups balanced on their heads. (if the cup Falls off or is shot off you lose) Moving towards the crossbow group all they have to do is touch the kids with the crossbow to win. The kids are the crossbows Are not allowed to move but win By shooting The cups off The undead heads. Once one of teams wins they switch sides.

I really do appreciate all the help and suggestions it has been vary helpful. And I'm sure will continue to be so i've gone from being a bit nervous about pulling this off to pretty excited. And as long as it's OK with the the peps at Chaosium any of you that helped out i'll be more than happy to 3D print out a coin or small prop you or I designed all you would I have to do send me a sketch of what you wanted. It Can't be anything that is copyrighted I.e. the coins in the books.

I was thinking of printing out A bunch of coins on the 3D printer. Giving them out to the kids as prizes for the different games, scavenger hunts. Which they can then use to buy, foam swords armor, etc. For the scavenger hunt have them find pieces to a large RunicKey that they can put together Open something haven't decided yet. Added some pictures I drew up of the key and coins below that I would make.

It was a fun session my girls where more interested in saving the cows then any of the fighting.

I would say 8 to 12 kids, 10 to 12 years old. Gloranthan cultism I would probably keep lite Khan of Khans lvl maybe a bit deeper keep it fun and light. My daughter wants to role play in the world larp style, I just want make sure everything is kept fun and light enough that the other kids enjoy it and she doesn't get teased about it later on. Have have 3D printers and boxes of scrap leather so making leather armor and printed prop pieces should be fairly easy. Maybe have the kids add runes to leather armor and make foam swords and Shields. I really like a lot of your ideas the troll food sounds great.

OK I know this is a bit of an unusual request. After having gone to Gen Con with my children and having a wonderful time there, two of my girls wanted to dress up during the convention as the Gloranthan PCs. They got to play the quick star rules at Gen Con as Vasana and Yanionth. It went over really well for them and the People at Chaosium were great and made it a neat experience for them. It was a fun experience for me as well! Greg Stafford was a old family friend that had given me a copy of RuneQuest back in the 1978 - 79 timeframe. It's was fun for me to explain how role-playing got started in our family. I can honestly say my kids had more fun at Gen Con than Disney World! I asked my daughter why and she said: "Because I get to be myself and imagine fun things, and nobody mocks me or bullies me for having an imagination!" So, naturally, Gen Con will become a tradition for us. Now, on to my main question...my youngest daughter really wants a Gloranthan themed birthday party. I'm talking she said she wanted Glorathan food, coins, swords (foam of course) a dungeon adventure like the larp dungeons at Gen Con and more. The coins I can 3-D print for her. The rest of the stuff I'm not quite sure if I'm thinking of getting some Renaissance actors or groups you can hire for parties and giving them enough information to make it more Glorathan. I have until May to pull this off, but any ideas would be very helpful as I've never done anything like this before. She is eager to have her entire grade attend, and I'd love to make her birthday party a huge success for all to remember forever. The more ideas the better.

Thanks for joining the game, and am glad you enjoyed it. I think that makes two years In a row now. I hope to see you again at a game next year. On a sad note the airport still has not found my luggage they lost going to GenCon so I will Most likely be buying Luther Arkwright as well.

There was a couple left on Saturday , I don't know if any made it to the end.

Sorry somehow Duplicated the post.

The new RuneQuest rules are heavily tied to Glorantha melding and changing the rule system and information to become Gloranthan. Now you still may get complaints about rules people like or dislike but this new version absolutely does Glorantha in all it glory. But it's done in a way that won't leave new players overwhelmed. I just took three of my kids through the character creation process. And they're already more attached to There PC then I've seen him with any other system. Character generation ties you into your community, Family history, enemies and allies In a personal way. The only thing my kids complained about during character creation was with some of the battles. Your parent or grandparent went through the result was simply survived. They wanted more, wanting to know how they servived did they hide, did some one save him exc exc. We ended up roll playing out story on how there ansester survived the particular battle. But I think in the future I'll probably come up with a 1d20 table of Battle survival possibilities. To add a bit more depth to any of the survived results. In the future I'll post some more about are experiences adventures with the new rules. Also at Gen Con I had a chance to see some the art that is going to be in the rule book. And I have to say is absolutely amazing. It is so uniquely Gloranthan I felt like I was looking at one of those ancient cultural documents with all the detail drawings of the people things they used there weapons lifestyle. Far surpassing even what you see in the guide of Glorantha. I have to say I'm a bit starstruck with the quality of work and effort that is being put into this.

Nice setup.

Well I had the pleasure of running two of the 4 GenCon sessions of Luthier Arkwright Silver Pictures Move So Slow. From the parallel lines book. The other players at the table seem to really have enjoyed themselves. I was a bit nervous as I don't run investigation type games very often. I don't think I built enough tension in the first session For the players, over the explosives they need find. The second one I did much better. The players there sweating bullets a couple times during critical dice rolls, the added tension was a lot of fun. I think by my 4th session of the Silver Pictures Move So Slow. I will be doing it justice.

Now on parallel 10-41-10 A parallel is defined as a bunch of lines that meet at the center with blobby circle things if Belgath Drew it.?

Just a map and notes for some of my Parallels

The Luther Arkwright is very versatile I use it for all my CoC, space and post apocalyptic games now.

My bases I added to the stories, is that the use of the fire frost is what created the parallels the first place. But this had The devastating effect on the greater entities in the universe. What we would consider Gods had trouble surviving in the multi-verse as they draw power from the very fabric of existence. With reality splintered into millions the multiple power parallels. There is less energy to draw from so that the more powerful beings started dying out, or had to flee to unoccupied paralleled to survive. More evil entities sought to destroy others due to the limited resources. The only way The One can ultimately survive. Is collapse enough of the parallels to ensure he has enough power to draw from. In his insanity Hopes to destroy all but one gaining ultimate power for himself.

Got a bit distracted with other projects so I didn't get very far with this one though it's something I do plan to come back to.
