According to my notes 8570 was published in 1994 (month unknown to me) and 8595 in December 1994. But i am sure your notes are more accurate thahn mine, so i stand corrected.

The last book published for RQ3 by Avalon Hill.

My wife is currently playing a Green Elf from the Elder Wilds on a mission to search for remaining seeds of the burnt Rist forest. She teamed up with the human (and one uz) player group, because she was all alone, and this group told her that they wanted to go to Pavis (fleeing stress with the Lunar Empire in Sartar). They got her attention with the word "half-elf" and that in Pavis there is an ancient group of elves (in the Rubble). She is a very strange character, among all these humans. She is lucky that the Uz is also just an oddball travelling with the humans (because there is a troll population in the Rubble, and he can fight for food). A lot of jokes about tasty aldryami and threads about elven arrows spicking uz bellys.

There is a d100 Cthulhu in german language: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/348609/FHTAGN-Regelwerk

And by the way: Only 1 (ONE!) copy left of TRADETALK # 12, then it is gone!

CLEARANCE SALE 4 issues of "Tradetalk" Glorantha fanzine + 3 issues "Path of the Damned" Glorantha comics + "Eurhols Vale" Glorantha fiction --------------------------- € 39,99 ! https://www.ebay.de/itm/363605308853

And this is a good thing to be aware of. Child mortality in Glorantha is by FAR less than in real world. Ine of the reasons couples in the real world had so many children (except not having very efficient birth control) is that a couplbe needed at least 2 surviving children, so that they could be cared for in old age. Most poor families had 4 to 10 children, and with a child mortality of up to 60% it was nessessary to have so much children to make it more likely that 2 or more reach adulthood, can marry, and teir families take care of you. I Glorantha, with diseases not as contagious as in our world, and with healing magic widely available, there is no need to have so much children. That is the reason that all the NPCs described in the books have only a few children, and not a dozen or so. Totally makes sense!

The minimus STR of a man is 3, and the minimum STR of a woman is 4. 🙂

Nachdem "Die Geheimnisse von Blutfelsen - Ein Abenteuer in der GEGEND" auf der SPIEL 21 als Druckversion verfügbar war, ist nun (eine Woche später) die PDF-Version bei Drivethru erhältlich: https://tinyurl.com/3ps9xa4k

I wasn´t a backer of the Kickstarter, but i ordered the hardcover book (with the discount).

The second FGU RPG that is based upon BRP is "Other Suns".

Seen in the "The Glass Canon" Session 2: Map "TO MERNYR´S LANDING" shown: The location "Clay Man" on the map is west-south-west of Jonstown on the other side of the Boranini river. On the BIG map "Clay Man" is north of Jonstown on the same side of the river. I assume the BIG map is correct?

Bonsai dryad... nice!

But putting a dryad into a crystal instead of a part of her tree would mean to lose the genins loci connection, am i right?

So you are telling me that i could break a branch of a dryads tree, and then bind her into that branch, which will be part of her genius loci, so that i would have a transportable dryad with me all the time (with all "benefits" that this might get me)? Sounds to powerful to me. It SHOULD be possible to make, but IMHO it should not be easy to do this.

SPIEL 21, the Game Fair in Essen Germany, is taking place from 14th to 17th of october. It seems that the Starter Set will not be available there, which is a shame. 😞

The definition of "lance" was written by ME, and it´s not a quote from any RQ book.

Maybe it is needed in a country where it has to be stated on a take away coffee cup that coffee is hot. 😉 (This reminds me one one scene of "The Gamers" where a Balista is used in a bar. Powergamers will do that...)

IMHO this is clearly not a mistake by the rules, but by the players: The name of the weapon "lance" says it all: This is a weapon not intended to be used apart from the back of a mount*, that would be called a two handed spear. *show me a story where Lancelot of any Knight uses his lance in hand to hand combat.

We know that trolls are not longer around in Harshax realm, that doesn´t mean that they don´t exist anymore.

I have watched all three videos, and i am feeling quite different than you about it: Yes these GM and players are "professionals" and if the purpose of these videos would be to entertain us and show to us how smooth RQ is then yes, i would agree with you that the GM should have studied the rules much more closely, and that the players should have at least read the introductory part of the Glorantha booklet and all of the rules booklet. But IMHO these videos intention is not to entertain us or to show how smooth all the details of the rules work, but to show us how a group of D&D-players, all of which are totally new to RQ, would run this box. They would not "get" all the names, they would make mistakes by interpreting the rules wrong, because they haven´t read them not closely enough, etc. But if they have FUN playing in Glorantha, they might be intrigued to read more about Glorantha, and "get" more next time. If they have FUN playing with all the features RQ has, that are not present in D&D, they might actually read the rules booklet of the box. And if more than one person on the gaming table has read the rules booklet it is far more likely they catch any mistakes they had made playing the first adventure and continue with the new attained grasp of the rules. For me this videos was very nice, because all the players as well as the GM were enthusiastic in their roles. And i think they liked (parts of) the setting, and they seemed to like (parts of) the rules system. And having fun and being interested in the world you play in, as well in the game system you are using, counts for me as: goal archived.

Sometimes you DON´T Use all your Rune Points or even all your Magic Points for Spirit Magic. You never know what dangers might come right after you won THIS fight. Maybe you will need you Magic for an even greater thread?

Same here: MYTHRAS feels like it was DESIGNED to make the best locical use of the D100 System. RUNEQUEST feels like it has GROWN from edition to edition (RQ1, RQ2, RQ3 to RQG) into the D100 System that it is today.

I should join Yelorna??? I don´t think so.

Loz: Am i allowed to translate this for german language sites to explain to german Mythras and/or RQ gamers where the differences of the two systems are?
