  1. Sun County as well as River of Cradles are RuneQuest 3 modules, which are not available except on ebay or similar platforms - which is the case for all RuneQuest 3 publications. The old modules still (or better again) available are RuneQuest 2 modules, which have been made available again through a Kickstarter several years ago.
  2. Found the following entry in this forum: Guide to Glorantha, Vol. I, p.38: The term 'Lod-plow' is not mentioned explicitly in the Guide to Glorantha, but the connection made in above comment seems to make sense. So 'Lod' in Lod-plow is a name (short for Lodril)?
  3. Currently I'm working through Jalk's Book in King of Sartar (2nd edition). On p. 169 the following sentence appears: I have not the slightest idea, what a Lod-plow might be (except for being a kind of plow more efficient than previously used types). So if anybody could give any hint or description, I would be very grateful.
  4. Stats for both can be found in the new RuneQuest - Glorantha Bestiary.
  5. Just in case you do not own the German edition of RQG: the translation of God Learner used is 'Gottlerner'. So that's the same translation, that has been used in the former translation of RQ3. But see Jörg's comment about this translation nearly 5 years ago:
  6. see above: I think, that's all, what we got as an explanation.
  7. My understanding so far was, that simultaneous release of book and PDF will only happen for boxes like the RuneQuest Starter Set, but I may be wrong ...
  8. I guess, you mean this one:
  9. Oops. Just saw, that @Erol of Backford provided a similar map excerpt already ...
  10. Ah, no, just saw, that you've found it already ...:
  11. Are you talking about this one? Not so much about Heortland, to tell the truth. But anyway, this is from Wyrms Footnotes #15.
  12. As far as I know, the Gloranthan Bestiary (AH85711) is not available similar to the Creatures Book in the RuneQuest Deluxe Edition (AH857), or do I miss something here? Also, in addition to the Creatures from Book 4 (Creatures) Book 5 (Glorantha Book) lists Glorantha specific Chaos Creatures and Elder Races (without stats except for Dragonewts).
  13. Currently the (more or less) official answer to this question is When this will happen, is not clear. But the corrected map is available already in the Well of Daliath.
  14. Nope. According to King of Sartar, 2.ed., p.131 Halifitoor is the son of Argrath and Sorana Tor.
  15. As already shown above this will not happen probably before the second printing is out ...
  16. That's the PDF download area, if you buy directly from the Chaosium site (yes, I bought two boxes): So obviously the Map_Pack zip file is missing in the Bits and Mortar download. No idea, if this is intentional or something missing ...
  17. for the latest information regarding this topic see In my Starter Set download the Northern Sartar map is also available as stand-alone PDF file in the Map Pack ... The Jonstown area map at the end of Book 2 is just a zoom-in on this map. But I'm not sure, if this is the resolution, you're looking for ...
  18. I don't think so. According to the text description Lo-metal is the metal of Lodril, and its red in color, like fire. So this description matches perfectly the display of Lo-metal, that's circled in the illustration. And according to the text description Hu-metal is a cross between Gata’s and Zrethus’, i.e. between Ga-metal (copper) and Ze-metal (tin). The color of the Hu-metal sword matches this description from my point of view. But you're right, Lo-metal appears two times in this illustration, but I'm more inclined to say the circlet in the lower right corner is in fact Ul-metal (silver), which according to the text description is white in color, whereas the illustration titled Ul-metal is Ur-metal (Iron) in fact. But the coins displayed in the illustration (if these are coins in all cases) again do not match these descriptions ...
  19. No need to push this into hard copy as hard copy is already guaranteed. It's just a matter of time until the necessary preparation for the hard copy version is completed.
  20. The RuneQuest Quickstart (similar to the Call of Cthulhu Quickstart) The RuneQuest Starter Set including Pregen Character Sheets prepared NPC sheets for all NPCs from the included adventures (grouped by adventures) Tokens for the Pregen Characters and all NPCs (the latter grouped by adventures) VTT maps for the included adventures Spell descriptions for Pregen Character Rune and Spirit magic Rule and adventure descriptions in the Journal part A Compendium for the RuneQuest:Roleplaying in Glorantha rules A Compendium for the RuneQuest:Roleplaying in Glorantha occupations A Compendium for the RuneQuest:Roleplaying in Glorantha cults A Compendium for the Family History A Compendium for the Glorantha Bestiary A Compendium for the Red Book of Magic A Compendium for Weapons and Equipment The Gamemaster Screen Pack Pegasus Plateau Smoking Ruins and other Stories VTT version of published maps Yes, I can use Roll20 without all of this, but it would be great to see the same support for RuneQuest:Roleplaying in Glorantha similar to the already existing support for Call of Cthulhu.
  21. Really? I know, that the Spike was huge, but 6000 km? or is that 6000 m?
  22. As this question has not yet been answered: As far as I can say, there is no description of Kuschile horse archery available for RuneQuest: Roleplaying in Glorantha - at least not yet. It seems, that this skill will be part of the upcoming cult's book (but that's just me guessing from the statements in this thread), as this skill will be provided (at least) by the Yelmalio cult. The only rule mechanic for mounted archery so far is on p. 213/214: So it seems (again my guess), that the skill reducing of archery depending on the Ride skill will be removed, if the Kuschile horse archery is used successfully. Starting value for Kuschile horse archery seems to be 25%, and you get another Geas with this skill. All this is me deducing from the statement in this thread. Could well be, that I've missed something ...
