The Well of Daliath is your friend. See https://wellofdaliath.chaosium.com/home/catalogue/publishers/chaosium/runequest-roleplaying-in-glorantha/cha4028-runequest-roleplaying-in-glorantha-qa-by-chapter/cha4028-runequest-roleplaying-in-glorantha-chapter-07-skills/#ib-toc-anchor-27 "Can an initiate perform a Worship ritual? All initiates have the worship (their deity) skill. It takes a day to perform and costs initiates 2mps to perform, and must be done at a sacred or sanctified place. See page 184. rather than Worship being a function reserved for priests? If you imagine a priest as a master of ceremonies or ritual choreographer, they allow for more complex ceremonies, reenactions, ritual preparations or heroquests. Worship is personal, ritual is communal. So can an initiate worship on his own, say if he is alone on a desert island? Yes, providing there is a sacred or sanctified place. Can an initiate lead a Worship ritual? If ten initiates are without a priest can one of them step up, or not? Yes and the likely the most experienced would likely be expected to. An excellent role playing opportunity. They would not receive any of the benefits that a priest would though."

Thanks for the clarification. However, sorry to be a pain but that's not what the rules wording actually says. It doesn't say that they can sense whether the POW is above or below their range. It says they can sense it within that range (possibly sensing exact POW) and nothing about what happens if it's outside that range (I would have extrapolated that they sense "outside your range", not "above" or "below"). Taking the existing rules wording and your example, POW 7 and 25 both return nothing (or perhaps "outside your range"). What POW 14 returns with the RAW is debatable. Taking the "within 10 points", that sounds like a range of POW that is 10 points wide, containing the actual POW (e.g. 8 to 18). The "5 points above or below their own" bit is confusing because it's not clear if "their" refers to the target or shaman - and even if that was specified as the shaman, that doesn't really go together with the "within 10 points wording" since the latter reads as the spirit's POW and not the shaman's. I suspect that it might be hard to understand where I'm coming from for anyone who knows the intention extremely well, as opposed to just trying to figure it out from the wording as I was doing. IMHO it would be a lot clearer to say something like this: "The shaman can sense which of the following three categories the target's POW falls into: within 5 points above or below their own; more than 5 points above their own; more than 5 points below their own". Sorry for going on about this, but I feel the current wording is very unclear.

The effects of the spell are in the final paragraph of the description: "After the ritual, any defensive spirit or Rune magic spell that the caster casts on the target has its effects extended to last one full day or until the effects of Bless Champion end".

Which must be a loooooooooonnnnggggg way in fair weather, right? Though of course above ground, not inside with no windows in the right direction, etc.

Yes, according to what's been said in various places (e.g. Impromptu Con and Facebook) there's supposed to be a GM's book coming at some point.

When you cast an associated cult's Rune spell, which god do you start to heroform? You're using Rune points from your own god, so if that Eiritha initiate casts Shield do they not heroform Eiritha as with their other Rune magic, given that they're using their connection with Eiritha to do so? Do they still heroform Eiritha but you're saying they use Waha's runes? That seems odd. Or they heroform Waha for this spell while using Eiritha's Rune points?

Spot the problem here: Two versions of the Weapons & Equipment PDF, one I downloaded in December, and another one that I downloaded today. It seems it was updated during January, but my order details at chaosium.com label the last update to my order as 10 Dec 2021. Yet when I download the PDF now it's the new January 2022 version. Page 61 of the December version used to show a "Spiked Staff" above the Maul, as posted out by someone else here in a now-hidden post in the Q&A thread. In the January version, the title of this item has been corrected to "Two-handed mace", as well as the "Troll maul" changing to "Troll-made maul". Just pointing out that there seems to be a version numbering issue here, and possibly an issue updating the orders list (the date normally changes when a newer PDF is uploaded IIRC). Some people here might be lacking this latest update.

Creating a useful index is a specialised and highly underestimated skill in itself. There are plenty of professional indexers that Chaosium could engage for this purpose. https://www.indexers.org.uk/

I take this point. But it seems to be slightly undermined by the missile weapon rates of fire table in the WoD at https://wellofdaliath.chaosium.com/home/catalogue/publishers/chaosium/runequest-roleplaying-in-glorantha-players-book-print/cha4028-runequest-roleplaying-in-glorantha-qa-by-chapter/cha4028-runequest-roleplaying-in-glorantha-chapter-08-combat-qa-part-2/#S/MR-rates-of-fire which to all intents and purposes looks like a second-by-second list of activities. Perhaps the key difference pertains to engaged vs unengaged participants, the missile firers being unengaged? I'm looking for a slightly clearer way to explain things to people who can be confused by the whole Strike Ranks concept.

Mid-2022 according to MOB's post here:

A miniatures company called Mad Knight is making a Glorantha skirmish game.

Core Rulebook Q&A, the Shield Attacks (p.219) entry, the Shield & Weapon attack Q&A is there twice.

More likely it's not available yet from that retailer. It's a Kickstarter which is still under way.

The Q&A entry for the core rulebook p.197, (Chapter 7) says that the rules on p.218 for which hit location takes excess damage in a shield parry should really say that it's the shield arm (not the originally rolled location). This needs to be duplicated in a Q&A entry specifically for p.218 in its own section (currently missing). Otherwise someone looking at the rulebook p.218 and then cross-referencing the Q&A for anything relating to this page is unlikely to find this entry.

In the corrections themselves, Book 1, "Page 6, 1st column, 2nd paragraph" should be "Page 6, 2nd column, 2nd paragraph"

In this corrections PDF, the first sentence says "beeb made" rather than "been made".

I've now changed my opinion based on what I quoted from the Well Of Daliath.

The Well Of Daliath appears to cover this in the Magic section, e.g. with a Dullblade example: Broo is in front of an adventurer The Broo casts dullblade on the adventurer’s sword (no spirit, nothing else than a sword) Is there a Broo POW versus adventurer’s POW roll? Unless the adventurer has some form of magic up that the GM interprets as includes the sword (Shield for example) No. This the whole point of Dullblade.

And the magic is on the person, and part of that person.

It's back in stock at the UK warehouse now.

The Q&A entry (core rulebook, Chapter 5) on Thunder Lung at the Well of Daliath appears to be incorrect. It says that the stages of Thunder Lung (p.155) should be changed from mild/chronic/acute/terminal to mild/chronic/serious/terminal, whereas it should be mild/acute/serious/terminal in order to match the Degrees of Illness table on p.154.

See:

What makes you think that the GM's guide isn't coming? It still is, as far as I'm aware.

The thread title seems to be wrong. This doesn't seem to be "new projects revealed". But it's a great video. I could listen to Jeff talk about mythology all day.

Book 4, p.16, second set of bullets, 3rd bullet, last sentence, "Some of the food ... are missing" -> "Some of the food ... is missing".
