Thanks Rick for doing this. Many points made me smile for different reasons, and in particular this one. Truly from the dawn of the RPG era.

Thanks Nick. The correction was a placeholder for me until the official thread came along. Then transfer corrections (if no-one else picks them up) across.

Book 2 has more pages on Jonstown than a Gloranthan overview. It is a colourful city overview with RQG stats for its personalities. It's the Apple Lane (on steroids) for RQG. Book 3 is a Soloquest, but still worth mining for how an important event translates to actual play.

I really hope that Jeff et al, does only give a skeletal outline of the Hero Wars. The bulk of the book should be about how to flesh out a campaign that will inevitably deviate from official KoS propaganda. No more 'huge amounts of text about background and whatnot' is a great step forwards.

Looks very nice. Thanks for the labour of love gone into this.

Same method used in the rules book. Let's stick with that.
