Does that include Dead Light, Rick?

It's probably a licensing thing. Chaosium probably allow DTRPG to sell the PDF but don't allow them to do POD. Seems odd that a 7e scenario with good reviews is out of print with seemingly no news about a reprint. I'm hoping that it's one of the items that Rick Meints was referring to recently when he mentioned that a couple of CoC items were going to get updated to the new layout template.

Dead Light sounds like an interesting scenario. Just wondering why it's only available in PDF, especially since it seems to have been written for 7e - it looks like it used to be available as a hard copy too. Is this something that's being updated to the new publication template and will be back out in hard copy, or is it just PDF for the forseeable future and eBay (can't see any right now) for a hard copy version?

As expected, Q-Workshop confirmed that they don't have these dice and guessed that they may have been prototypes. They did try, even checking with their warehouse to see if there was any chance of them having a set. Shame because I'd buy them in a heartbeat. The ones in the rulebook (in my original post) are so much clearer and easier to read than the black and green set.

This is the kind of thing that I was getting at. For example, a while back there was a discussion here on "gravity" in Glorantha (see below). I feel it's more likely that there's something Gloranthan going on with the relative sizes that planets appear to be when viewed from the lozenge, compared to their actual size - something that doesn't completely correlate with that of objects of a similar size which are a similar distance away from an observer on the surface of the Earth. For mythical reasons,. obviously. For the "gravity" discussion, see:

The distance in the RW from the Earth to the Moon is approximately 250,000 miles. So if the Gloranthan planets are of the order of magnitude of 100 times closer than our own Moon, then how small must they be to appear as they do? Surely tiny? I would have thought that there must be some other mythical explanation for this. Something making the planets looking a lot smaller than RW physics would make them look.

The planets are on the Sky Dome, right? So are the planets tiny (compared to RW planets), or is there something else going on here in terms of how big things appear on the Sky Dome?

Just how high is the Sky Dome if the planets look pretty small (as shown in the Guide, Appendix A)? Or is there some sort of magical effect going on here to do with how far you can see up and how large objects appear? I'm aware that the usual laws of physics don't apply.

Oh. My. Goodness. Their stuff looks amazing!

Thanks @Augusto Antunes I see what you mean. That does look the the same design but in a different colour. As you say, perhaps those ones in the IH were just discontinued or were a prototype. Shame because I really like them. I'll poke about some more on Q-Workshop's site and elsewhere and decide whether I want them in a different colour. The black and green ones that you linked still do look quite nice. I've emailed Q-Workshop to ask them. I'll let you know what they say.

Thanks, but both of those are quite different from those in the Investigator Handbook photo, e.g for the D4:

This has been a popular request. I seem to remember that someone on G+ said they had a memory stick that they got from Ian that they hoped would have some useful information on, but I don't recall a definite conclusion to this.

The Blind King's Castle on the p.40 map (in 1500) does appear to have the same shape and be in a similar location to the Palace of the Demi-God Priest shown on the p.35 map (in 920). That doesn't prove things on its own, since on the p.38 map (in 1200) the Palace of the DGP is said to be in ruins. Separately, on p.34 of P:GtA it says that King Yanas Kyrem/Jhanas Kyree was known as the "Blind". Given that it also says that this same king "invited the demigod-priest Labyrgon" to Pavis and gave him Dragon's Hill, this would suggest to me that the "Blind King" and Labyrgon are two different people.

Does anyone know which dice set (e.g. who makes it) is pictured on p.16 of the Investigator Handbook? I assumed they would be Q-Workshop dice, but they don't match any of the sets that I can find. Normally I don't like dice sets with fancy patterns because I find them not immediately readable, but I like the look of the ones in the book.

Thread about Androgeous, including the suggestion about Sheng Seleris being Twisted Horse, at

I don't recall Jeff saying in this thread that "Yelm is the sun god of the Orlanth pantheon". Some Orlanthi calling the sun disk "Yelm" doesn't make that so. I don't see a retcon here, I see a useful clarification and more details.

Yep.

Is there a place to submit typos? I've found a few (trivial ones) in the PDFs.

Thanks. Though that additional bit isn't in the starter set. But I assumed that the full rulebook would have more in-depth combat rules, and that extra bit fits in nicely (and helps me with the starter set stuff).

While waiting for my Starter Set to arrive (an event about which I feel like a kid waiting for Xmas), I've been reading the rules in the second PDF booklet for that set. All seems very clear to me except for one thing. It's some wording in the Outnumbered rules on p.20 that are confusing me. It says: "A character outnumbered by the opposition is at a disadvantage. Once a character has either fought back or dodged in the present combat round, all subsequent melee attacks on them (in the same round) are made with one bonus die. This does not apply to attacks made using firearms. Example: the ghoul has 3 attacks, whereas Susan has just 1. On the ghoul’s first attack roll, Susan gets to fight back or dodge and the combat is normal. But, on the ghoul’s second and third attacks, it gets a bonus die to each of these attacks, as Susan is effectively outnumbered." Susan still gets to fight back or dodge those second and third attacks, right? Just with a bonus dice for the attacker? She does in the example on the previous page, so I guess I'm answering my own question. It's just a bit confusing when an example introduces extra rules that "should" have been used in a previous example (two different examples would have made it clearer to me, e.g. Susan fighting a cultist in the previous example). It's way that it says she gets to fight back or dodge for the first attack in the above example that makes me question things, almost implying that she doesn't for subsequent attacks in the same round.

Yes, it's easy to convert. There's a conversion guide in the RQG rulebook, p.423 (also available as a free download from the website).

So any Storm Bulls in Pavis will attack any Lunars walking around there? That's not how it appears to work.

Umm, why the rudeness? It's really not necessary. Your argument seems to be entirely based on the disadvantages of smaller size (e.g. strength, which is in any case highly debateable) ignoring any benefits of small size (e.g. speed and nimbleness).
