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.

It does look lovely but as an established GM I am not sure I will bother. Books 1-3 would see little use. Book 4 might be more useful but our game has us about a year on from the standard 1625 start and these scenarios may be a little too basic (or in the past) for us. The pre-gens would see little use and I have more than enough dice.
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.

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.
