Page 82 Spell Trading. This spell allows the caster to trade a single use of any Rune spell (except this one) in exchange for a single use of any Rune spell known by another Rune master of any cult.

-- Clarity & ease of reading: the spell description talks about "one use" and "one-use", but these have different meanings.

This is actually how the Cults Book entry for Issaries reads:
RUNIC ASSOCIATIONS
The Runes of Issaries are Movement and Harmony. Together these are often expressed as “Issaries” or “Communication,” a Rune unknown or unused except in trade functions. Other than Issaries, few spirits have it, save those who took or otherwise obtained it from him.
Argan Argar has Mastery, Darkness, and Communication Runes in the GtG, but Darkness and Harmony in RQG. What is Argan Argar's association with Communication?

Page 51. Fearless...or to the typical fear resulting from battle, Chaos, or Terrors (see the Glorantha Bestiary, page 188).
Page 69. Power Drain
-- Should the first one read: Power Drain ([deity] variant)?
Page 70. Example: Loronaga has performed the Meld Form ritual three times and can turn into a cat, a bison, and a sea serpent. If she casts 3 points of Proteus, she can switch back and forth between her own shape, the cat’s, the bison’s, and the sea serpent’s. Thus, she could become a cat, then a bison, then herself, then a sea serpent, then a cat again, if she wished.

Page 56. Harmony. The caster makes a single roll on the resistance table. All others whose POW would be overcome are affected.
Example: Fildarus has POW 14 and rolls a 42. Everyone within range with a POW of 15 or less is affected.-- Fildarus is actively trying to overcome everyone, therefore Fildarus is the active factor (page 145 RQG).
Page 61. Inviolable...own POW, as if the caster were the active characteristic, following the results until a value lower than the roll is reached.
Page 61. Example:...Her POW is 15. She rolls a 42 on D100. Consulting the resistance table as if she were engaging in a POW vs. POW struggle[comma] with herself as the active force, Yanioth’s result puts her lower than 45 (POW 16), but above 40 (POW 17). This means that the spell affects anyone in range with POW 16 or lower.
--The caster is the active factor.
----In both cases it follows the caster has better results from making a lower roll, the standard for RQG.

The cover art is quite possibly the best representation of Gloranthan magic I have seen.

It was probably asked before but for someone who has the Glorantha Classics on his shelves, is there any reasons to buy these books (aside from completionism)?
The RuneQuest Companion was not part of the Glorantha Classics line.
The ease of handling is the main thing, that and the original iconic cover art.

Will there be a Secrets of Dorastor POD option soon? Cheers

The book has a nice physical quality to it, sturdy and a clean printing. Well worth it.

This one-time postal delivery came via Mastakos. The leatherette is coming by more mundane means.
Anyway, no doubt the official announcement is coming but looks like the gates are open to order the physical copy of PP.

But the Orlanthi are supposed to be the Orlanthi, not the Celts, not the ancient Germans, not someone else.
I guess (and hope) that is true for the overwhelming majority of people's take on it.

Is that ironic emancipation? (Like Jar-Eel's (or Lincoln's!)) What kind of emancipation is on offer? And is anyone consciously fighting for it?
And ultimately... does it perhaps look too much like our world for us to get excited about it?
So a compromise with the Gods - a kind of constitutional theocracy - or a flipping of the master-slave relationship where the God's work man desires?
These are genuine questions. Like Jenh I'm troubled by Glorantha's pessimism (while relishing it's tragedy). Ultimately - we may want other options than: "Do you want to play the taliban or the evil empire they are fighting? It really doesn't matter which. It will all go wrong whatever...."
Ironic emancipation based on in- and real-world conscious and sub-conscious human action. And yes, very much something to get excited about.
Gods are sacrificed, sentient races gone, landscape blasted and yet still the Devil returns. The optimistic answer to prevent this is to conclude King of Sartar 's last sentence an Age early.

In a way, the Third Age is another step on the way to emancipation of mortal humans and deities. The God Learner experiment of the Second Age was an earlier try, Lunar ascension a different method, and Argrath's ascension and the botching of the Ritual of the Net hinted at in the Argrath Book of King of Sartar may be another one.
The Third Age is also another step on the way to emancipation of mortal humans and other species.
But the optimistic outlook would be the realisation that humans may need more than just themselves to defeat the Devil in the Fourth Age. In which case hopefully the PCs can preserve enough of Glorantha for there to be hope for the future.

nb while these products are for HeroQuest Glorantha, they can be easily adapted to RuneQuest as well:
Excellent products. Adaptable for RQ, but a tad odd that Chaosium blocks RQG stats being created for the Jonstown Compendium.
