The list of Yelmalio gifts and geases is by no means definitive or limited to what is there. The way of the gods is ineffable. And so many times do those random gifts and geases accentuate and bring out MGF in play. Love it! PS BTW, the version of the Yelmalio cult in RQ3's Sun County lists Shield as one of the cult's divine spells.

They don't. Everything inside is the same as the normal hardback. We happen to have the softcover versions of the Keeper and Investigator Books, and Petersen Guide available for purchase now, and they are all on sale too. These are leftovers from the Kickstarter and will not be reprinted in softcover.

Character art by Eli Maffei from from the 'Renekot's Hope' chapter of The Pegasus Plateau. Here we have: Anla Renekot, proud Orlanthi Rune Lord, powerful and strong. Escatar Oval-Noova, a minor Lunar aristocrat (“Not all Lunars are decadent, immoral, backstabbing bastards. Just most of us.”) Kentin Haley, a know-it-all scholar who loves his cats. Dalathar Quickblade, a durulz Death-drake veteran of many battles.

"I wanted a diverse group of contributors, including people new to Glorantha, to best spotlight the many different approaches to playing #RuneQuest and in #Glorantha. I cast the net wide when it came to contributors: some people who I’d worked with on other game lines, some people who’d inquired about writing RuneQuest materials, and a few who submitted materials cold, with no query letter."

COVID-19 Shipping and Fulfilment Update - May 2nd We hope that you, your family, and your friends continue to be in good health. Chaosium has been fortunate that (so far) throughout the COVID-19 situation all our warehouses remain open and are able to ship product.

While delivery times may be slower than usual, the only country we currently cannot ship to is Norway. We will announce any changes to our shipping and fulfilment status as the situation continues to unfold. Buying electronic versions of our products from Chaosium.com or DriveThruRPG is of course, unaffected. Remember, if you buy a PDF direct from Chaosium, you get the full price of the PDF off the printed book if you decide to buy it later. The COVID-19 pandemic is impacting communities everywhere. We are all in this together, all over the world, and it's never been more urgent to support the global response.

Originally published in France, Nocturnal Media and Chaosium are proud to present Würm - The Ice Age Roleplaying Game to an English-speaking game audience. After Nocturnal Media's successful Kickstarter, Chaosium is distributing the game. This acclaimed game is a system-lite RPG set in the prehistory of humanity, deep in the ice age, thirty-five thousand years ago. In this long-forgotten time, many powerful creatures roamed a vast territory covered in steppes and taiga, reaching from the white mountains to the raging sea: mammoths, aurochs, bison, giant deer, cave bears and cave lions. Among these huge creatures, two species of humans live in small communities of hunter-gatherers: the robust Bear Men (Neanderthals) and the taller Long Men (Cro-Magnon, or Cavemen). The Würm core rule book is a full color hardcover. It contains all the rules you need to play the game, with four introductory scenarios, each one offering a specific atmosphere, including adventure, investigation, melancholy, or humor. One scenario is also designed to introduce younger players to the game. The Würm line also includes two "Voice of the Ancestors" adventure books, a further scenario booklet, the GM Screen, and the Würm Art Book, showcasing the distinctive art from the game. Würm is available now in physical and PDF formats. The physical books include the PDF in the purchase price. Physical books are available from our USA and UK warehouses. These books are currently in limited supply in the UK warehouse, but we will be shipping more there and to our warehouse in Poland soon. https://www.chaosium.com/wurm-the-ice-age-roleplaying-game
