If you played in my RQG game "The Diet of Wyrms" at Gen Con on Saturday night could you get in touch? I somehow lost the bit of paper where you all wrote down your email addresses. As we talked about, I'd like to send you the background stuff to the scenario, the tumultuous events leading up to the Second Battle of Moonbroth (in which you all served so admirably, if not gloriously...).

Chaosium will publish a second, updated edition of the critically acclaimed Harlem Unbound, it was announced at Gen Con today. Harlem Unbound is the creation of African-American game designer Chris Spivey. The first edition was published to critical acclaim by Spivey's indie studio Darker Hue Studios. Spivey's first release, Harlem Unbound won three Gold awards at the 2018 ENies Awards. The new edition of Harlem Unbound will feature additional scenarios, new maps and new art.

We've added a new 13th Age Glorantha Seminar to the Chaosium Gen Con schedule. It takes place on Sunday at 10:00 AM (Lucas Oil : Meeting Room 7). Join designer Rob Heinsoo and art director Michael O'Brien (me) for a jaunt through the many Gloranthas that helped create this labor of love. https://www.gencon.com/events/145574

We've just heard that 13th Age Glorantha and The Glorantha Sourcebook have arrived at our UK warehouse, so we now have copies in all three of our fulfilment locations, so we will commence distribution of the Kickstarter rewards from all three locations (Australia, USA, UK) later this week. More details at the update: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/416625372/13th-age-in-glorantha/posts/2250989

Blood, sex and Rock'n Roll! - a write-up of Claudia Loroff's Goddesses of the Earth seminar at the Continuum Convention last weekend.https://www.chaosium.com/blogthe-goddesses-of-the-earth-a-glorantha-seminar-writeup-from-continuum-convention-july-2018

The MASKS OF NYARLATHOTEP Gamer Prop Set from our friends the H P Lovecraft Historical Society starts shipping on August 1st. Here's a reason to order it NOW:"PRE-ORDER: Order yours now and we'll ship it to you as soon as it's ready to go (est. Aug 1). Why? Because this special pre-order price is only good until we begin shipping, at which time we can guarantee you the price of this collection will have to increase substantially."

Good move! The elevator pitch for SUN COUNTY is "Spartans in the Wild West". Friendly advice for all posters, especially Gloranthan scholars: let's keep threads where curious newcomers to Glorantha are seeking advice approachable, concise and easily digestable. There are plenty of other threads here to do deep diving into the weeds.

We're going to have these beauties at Gen Con, fresh from the presses and air-shipped direct from our printer in Hong Kong! —RQG leatherette edition, signed by the authors - $100 (20 copies only) —RQG hardback core rules - $55 (200 copies only) And if you've bought the RQG pdf already from Chaosium.com, we'll apply the coupon discount. These are sure to go fast, so if you're coming to Gen Con stop by the Chaosium booth as soon as you can!

Yes, this seems like a great approach to take!

There's a new adventure for CTHULHU CHRONICLES, the official Call of Cthulhu interactive fiction game. The seventh episode in the "Investigations in Lovecraft Country" series is an original scenario that takes you back to college! Cthulhu Chronicles is currently available on iOS devices. MetaArcade is working on an Android version. More details here: https://www.metaarcade.com/blogroll/2018/7/24/discover-the-secrets-of-miskatonic-university

Bear in mind this map only shows the extent of what the inundation would be like without any magical/divine/heroquesting/technological interventions, which might take place in various locations with varying degrees of success. I already have an idea what the Sun Domers of Prax might do to meet the peril. And remember, in the Cave of Serpents at Sacred Ezel the Enervi Sybil gave a prophesy, that one day "the dykes of Esrolia will save the Holy Country".

In an addendum to my recent Grognard Files interview, Dirk the Dice shows the astonishing "sun-chronicity" between where I lived for ten years in the Middle East, and RQ3's SUN COUNTY, the book I wrote ten years before I'd even heard of Abu Dhabi... https://thegrognardfiles.com/2018/07/23/nowthen-mobs-adventures-in-sun-county

Brought over the unofficial thread started earlier. We appreciate everyone's enthusiasm to help with tribal editing but for admin purposes we need the responses to be in a thread started by a moderator. ___ Page 13 To start the ball rolling Troll height page 73 (and SIZ page 75). Unless the Guide is no longer canon the males should be an average 10cm taller and their SIZ should be 3D6+8. Females should be 10cm taller too. This will keep the male SIZ as used in RQ3, their height consistent with both old and more recent depictions of trolls, it also will be consistent with the RQ:G size chart, and it won't rubish the GtG. Also Kyger Litor page 80 also has the Spirit Rune in the GtG. Seems she doesn't have three Runes whilst the tusker rider god does ___ Map key says "Ducks (Darulz)", should be Durulz ___ The duck distribution map only shows them in DP, not the Holy Country or southern Maniria. The GtG has respective pops of 10K, 20K, and an unspecified small number. ___ Page 28, Baboon characteristics: DEX is listed as 3D6+6 but the average is listed as 13. Page 57, Dwarf armor. "The dwarf has a 70% [chance] of being unaffected by any spell cast at them." The word 'chance' is missing. ___ Description of True Dragons on p117, "The best-known Kralorelan True Dragons are:" - Should there be spacing used to separate out the text from the section above on the Four true dragons of DragonPass? When you read/scan "The four True Dragons of Dragon Pass are", it looks as though there are many more then four types mentioned. Closer inspection reveals the division, but spacing would help.

With the release of the RuneQuest Glorantha Bestiary on PDF, this thread is to catch any typos or errors spotted. Please note them here, quoting the page number, the error, and the suggested correction. Many thanks.

It was a long, long time ago that I did the art direction for that cover. But I do remember stuffing a large envelope* with about 30 or more pages of photocopies and sketches and detailed commentary for the composition to send to Roger Raupp. *yes, kids, this was in the days before email. I think after the initial snail mail we then sent preliminary sketches and notes back and forth by fax - remember those?
