Or you could hunt down one of the rare copies of the BRP version of "After the Vampire Wars". 🙂

I have a shelf for HeroQuest, and one for RQG. The old version of "The Glorantha Sourcebook" will be displayed with the HeroQuest books (and the layout suggests, that that was the intended line it belongs to), and the new edition will complete the RQG shelf. Problem solved! 😉

Ist recht universell einsetzbar: Kann auch mit Meeros oder den Neuen Reichen gespielt werden.

The time and effort to spend on markteting (for emails, blogposts, forum postings, other Social Media, digital flyers, etc.) would be doubbled, but the sales wouldn´t. The PDF first and book later concept will work for REALLY important publications, but not for any single book.

1. Kepp the book available for new customers. 2. Bring the layout in line with the rest of the RQ line. 3. Make the title easier to find in online shops (i tried some online shops and searched for "RuneQuest" and this book didn´t came up... but they had it in their shop, it just wasn´t connected to "RuneQuest" et all).

As far as i understood it they simply don´t want to publish 10 Cults books in a row, but publish one cults book, the another book, then another cults book, and so forth. And they have stated that 4-8 books a year is the maximum they will publish, because their customers will have to be able to afford all that books.

Passend zum Ostermontag kommt die Ankündigung unserer neuesten Publikation: MYTHIC ANTARCTICA – Rollenspiel in den Weiten des ewigen Eises Antarktika, der unbewohnte große Südkontinent, und der ihn umgebende Antarktische Ozean bilden zusammen die Antarktis. Eisige Kälte, gewaltige Windgeschwindigkeiten, Eis, Schnee und Felsen, Pinguine, Robben, Seevögel und Wale... viel mehr gibt es hier nicht. Warum verschlägt es die Abenteurer in diese ungastlichste Region der Erde? Eine Rettungsmission, eine Schatzsuche, oder doch nur reiner Wissendurst? Was werden MYTHIC-Charaktere aus Konstantinopel, Venedig, Britannien, Logres, Rom, Griechenland, Karthago, Ägypten, Persien, Babylon oder Polynesien hier vorfinden? MYTHIC ANTACTICA enthält Informationen zu: Geographie, Entdeckung, Wetter (Sonnenstunden, Temperaturen, Niederschläge, Windgeschwindigkeiten), Gesundheitsgefahren und deren Behandlung, ein Glossar zu Begriffen von Schnee und Eis, MYTHRAS-Spielwerte für vier Pinguinarten, vier Robbenarten, vier Seevogelarten, vier Walarten und drei mythischen Kreaturen, neun Abenteuerideen und vier Landkarten.

McReady Jr. (ergänzendes Material von André Jarosch) DIN A 4 Heftung, 28 Seiten April 2024 € 9,95

I am uncertain where i am standing regarding AI images. I can see why some people see it as a tool that learns some ideas about drawing, rather than copy an artists work. I can also see why some people see this as a copyright violation. I also understand that the AI is merging different styles and images, like a human artist would do when he pays homage to an artist he admires, or pays homage to a specific picture in another style (how many artists have drawn their version of Frank Franzettas Death Dealer?). Where does a homage end, and a copyright lawsuite begin? I have two concerns about AI: 1. AI learns from images it finds on the internet. The pictures it finds define the norm for it. AI doesn´t has a clue what the real norm is. (Try creating an "ugly woman", and you will still get a Miss Universe girl, with a little dirt and maybe a scar.) 2. AI creates images, but as a machine it doesn´t has any copyright on the created image. As far as i understand the person requesting the AI to create a specific picture also has no copyright to that picture, because he isn´t the artist. As far as i understand, this means that anybody can use an AI generated picture for any means he pleases; AI images are free to grab and alter (Photoshop, etc.) and do whatever you want with it. Why should a company, like Chaosium, let AI create Cthulhuoid or Gloranthan pictures, which anyone else also can use?

There was a Tournament Scenario by Oliver Jovanovic & Michael McGloin in 1993 "The Seven Pillars of the World Machine" for RQ3 that did exactly this.

In my Glorantha Vingan Ducks dye only the feathers on upper half of their head. It is the same with humans. I don´t belive that a natural brown haired sartarite human will dye the hair in their arm pits, their eye lashes or their eyebrows. It is only the hair on the top of your head that needs to be dyed red.

This advertising confuses me. is it an adventure? A collection of of adventure ideas? A collection of NPCs?

A rogue dwarf (outcast from dwarfdom) might be able to become a shaman. Why not. If he wants to summon ancestors, does that mean HIS personal biological ancestors (maybe you can could the Mostali that made him ancestors... but they might still be around/alive)? Or Does this mean "the generation that came before us"? If the second one is true, then he could summon spirits of Mostali/Dwarfs that were generations before him, and are not alive anymore. I doubt that biological ancestry is required. What would happen if a (human) shaman tries to summon his dead grandfather, but the grandfather he thinks of his grandfather was only the husband of his granmother, and his real grandfather was a lad from one village over? In my Glorantha the person he recognizes as his grandfather would show up, not the unknown to him biological grandfather.

Nice choice for the names of the corporations!

IMHO these two shouldn´t be that hard to provide. I don´t think that Chaosium wants to see a professional business plan. EXAMPLE how this could look like: "A production budget for their game." - $ 1000 for art (cover and some maps; illustrations will be stock art) - $ 250 for editing and layout (two of my friends have a bachelor in this) - $ 250 for marketing (Facebook ads, and other social media) --------------- $ 1500 Total I estimate that by book will sell about 250 copies on Drivethru in the first 6 months, with a price tag for the PDF of $ 19.99, with 70% for me. Which would get me an income of $ 3498.25. $ 3498.25 Sales - $ 1500 Investment -------------- $ 1998.25 earnings "A competitor market analysis of their game, showcasing where it fits in the market as a product." A) The theme of my BRP based RPG is "XXX". I have searched on Drivethru, RPGnet, and Boardgamegeek etc. and found three good selling RPGs already with that theme "XXX". But there is no D100 game (or compatible) with that theme, so my game will be the first D100 game to get into that. OR B) The theme of my BRP based RPG is "XXX". I have searched on Drivethru, RPGnet, and Boardgamegeek etc. and found that there are no RPGs already with that theme "XXX". "XXX" is special interest, but with no compaditors on the RPG market with that theme, my game will be the first one to adress that theme. At least that would be what i would provide Chaosium with (with more details, of course).

NASA has published a Science-Fiction RPG-adventure as PDF! The adventure is system free, but uses character classes, levels, half orcs, dark elves, etc. Ideal to be used with CLASSIC FANTASY (in combination with M-SPACE?): - 44 pages adventure (33 pages without pictures, index, Credits, etc.) - for 7-10 characters of levels 4-7 (rank 2-3 in Classic Fantasy) - playable in two gaming sessions 3-4 hours each https://science.nasa.gov/mission/hubble/multimedia/online-activities/the-lost-universe/

15-90, since the stats are still rolled up using 3D6 (3-18) or 2D6+6 (8-18), and the outcome is then multiplied by 5.

An absolutely wonderful book.

Naming it "OFFICIAL Discord" assumes there is an "Unofficial Discord", too? 😉

Oh, you bad boys. You know i will buy this second printrun in addition to the book i already have, don´t you? 😉

We play it the way that i doesn´t make you in fact chaotic (a Storm Bulls Sense Chaos doesn´t detect you for that), but society sees them as acts of chaos, and since you commited them you must be chaos. A Storm Bull that hears about a person commiting such an act might kill the person on the spot, because he KNOWS that you are chaos, but you doesn´t detect as chaos. So you one of the rare cases his Sense Chaos malefunctions/fails... which is not possible to admit to society that it can fail... so he kills him on the spot nevertheless. The Storm Bull can´t be charged for murder/kinstrife because every Lhankor Mhy will agree that a person commiting such an act was in fact Chaos.

Just go with Affinity Publisher, it is WAY cheaper, and does (almost) everything InDesign can do.

Cthulhu Reborn does the same with their "Cthulhu Eternal" RPG SRDs.
