Thank you! 🙈 It's become clear now that I only have the French version, he he. 😋

On the other hand, the art for the French edition of The Haunted Ruins had the most bad-ass looking trolls I have ever seen (except perhaps for the Orlanthi troll in 13th Age Glorantha).

The Orlanthi culture, you mean, yes. It is a great videogame. When you play it through, you'll want to play Six Ages: Ride Like the Wind. 😉

That's the depiction of the Durulz you need to show to people who hate the Durulz. 😁 When my friends and I saw it for the 1st time in the Spanish edition of HeroQuest (1.0), one of my friends said: "If someone had shown to me this picture years ago, I woud have been playing ducks since then." 😏 (deep breath) Images have such a big impact, particularly in fantasy, that sometimes it is even scary. On the one hand, they shouldn't have such a big impact, because we're talking about imagined worlds, so you can picture things whatever you like in your mind, but on the other, images do have that huge impact in our imaginations. It's like when you read The Lord of the Rings and then you watched the movies, and then all of a sudden you can't go back and read the book without seeing Viggo Mortensen as Aragorn, etc.

The other day I was browsing through some Casus Belli issues with RuneQuest content. The best scenario I found was "Anisha", in #77, set in Sun County. Although the background for the scenario was a bit convoluted. I guess some French authors must be already adapting old scenarios to publish them in the Jonstown Compendium. ☺️

I was going to ask exactly the same question as Puckohue, so thanks for that. I also thought of that villain to connect it to Ronegarth. 🙂

I don’t want to further derail the Wind Words thread with this, so I’ll post it here. Apart from the Japanese covers, I also tracked all the covers for the French edition of RQ3 and HeroWars. It might be of interest to some of you. https://elruneblog.blogspot.com/2019/08/runequest-y-heroquest-en-frances.html Any French members of this forum are more than welcome to correct any mistakes in my post. 🙏😁

Feel free to ask me any questions if the translation gadget on the right margin leaves you dumbfounded. 🙂 (Although surely one of the Japanese members of this forum would be the person to ask). I would love to publish all my posts in both languages BTW, but the amount of work would just be too much! 😇

I basically agree. Then you have heroes, who push the limits of a deity, and simultaneously, of their society.

For me, the best explanation about the ins and outs of HeroQuests so far is in the book Sartar: Kingdom of Heroes. (there's a review down that link)

I should have guessed that when I saw the Uleria initiate from Redfish city 😁 I also like very much how detailed is the armour in all your drawings. Keep drawing, please!

Thanks for your response. What system are you using for your game: RQ or HQ? And I'm curious about a small detail: the faces of your clan ring look very realistic. Have you taken real people as reference to draw them?

Welcome, Coffeemancer! ☺️ Please tell us more about these drawings, particularly the "Charg" 4 cool guys and the Orlanthi ring with Cloudpointer in it!

Question: Can this OGL be used to publish an D100 game in other languages other than English?

I'm amazed that the 3 book pack in PDF is "only" 30$ in DrivethruRPG. 🙂 But wait, perhaps we will get an official conversion document for M-Space soon... 😲

Pirates of Drinax for Traveller is one of the few classic sci-fi mega-campaigns. Pentallion converted most of it to M-Space. Now he’s collected his conversion advice in an article here: https://elruneblog.blogspot.com/2020/03/converting-pirates-of-drinax-to-m-space.html

Hi, Pentallion has agreed to summarise his experience and advice running The Pirates of Drinax with M-Space here: https://elruneblog.blogspot.com/2020/03/converting-pirates-of-drinax-to-m-space.html He also accepts questions! 😋

I used Dorastor's farm-managing rules in my Borderlands campaign. Man, they are harsh...

Here I mention some advice to start running Mythras without feeling overwhelmed by the rules: https://elruneblog.blogspot.com/2019/04/review-of-mythras-roleplaying-game.html 😉

Oh thank you, Sir! 🤭

I would go for the former, hands down. As for the lack of Ernaldans, if I'm not wrong, agriculture has not been introduced yet in the region (perhaps that was only in Griffin Island though), which would explain why there are no Ernaldans. But if one Ernaldan PC were to arrive there and start spreading agriculture and the cult of Ernalda, maybe awakening the local Earth goddess, that would make an epic campaign.

What if a character casts Protection-5 on his elemental before sending it against the other elemental? In spirit combat, Protection is of no use, but in physical combat it is.

I'd say either the Mountain or the Island are particularly good to spark your creativity. What things did you add to this campaign from your own imagination? For example, the 2nd time I ran the Island, I created pirate orcs, a race of intelligent fire-breathing wolves, a race of really tiny humans (think Willow) and the slarge city where the arrows are supposedly to be found. Oh, and 3 tests to get to the ring of Ockless.

HeroQuest would also work great with Shadowrun. This guy has some notes on how to do it with Eclipse Phase, for example: https://andrewjluther.com/2018/06/24/heroquest-rpg-and-eclipse-phase/

I'm currently playing a pirate campaign in the Edrenlin Islands, north of the coast of Elamle. 😄 (But I'd like to read the chronicle of your Pavis campaign)
