I thought so, but that's the point: Neither do I understand the puns nor do I see the Easter Eggs ... which tells me, that there are still a lot of holes in my Gloranthan lore ...

Not sure, but I think, I do not understand, how this is related to the OP ... 🤔

I'm aware, that Belintar is not called Pharaoh anymore, but God-King, but anyway in the Adventure Book of the Gamemaster Screen Pack, p.6, it says: I have seen this title (Pharoah) as well as its alternate form Pharaoh in several older publications. But from my perspective - being a non-native English speaker - the latter is the correct form, whereas the former looks like a typo. Another example supporting the assumption, that Pharoah is a typo, is Thunder Rebels. In its index you can find but if you look at the respective pages the title Pharaoh is used! An Internet search showed something similar: even if searching for Pharoah most results were about Pharaoh. The only real hit was Pharoah Sanders, a Jazz musician, who used Pharoah as a part of his artist's name. So is my assumption correct, that Pharoah is a typo, or do I miss something here?

I think the Jonstown Compendium does a lot in this direction ...

And ordered ...

I thought always, that the Pavis and Big Rubble book (by Robin Laws) is a Runequest source book (it's listed this way in the OP). And I think Jeff mentioned in one of his latest video interviews for Chaosium, that its still in the works, but I may be wrong here ...

Argh, albeit just a typo probably, I really need to see now the publication of this new magic book by chaosium ... containing all the magic provided by Uleria?

Really? Most of the discussion on the previous page was about attacking Ernaldan priestesses, and if it's allowed or not. Looking at this thread on the main page, I was surprised, that it run already over three pages. I thought, the OP topic wouldn't raise such an strong reaction in these times. So I had a look, and in fact my assumption was proved right in fact. Most of the discussion in the thread was not about the OP topic. Ok, knowing the forum and its members for awhile now, I shouldn't have been surprised ... But I will stop here, because otherwise I will hijack this thread for a third topic ...

Are you sure, you're talking still about the OP's topic? To tell the truth, I think not ... Get me right, the discussion is quite interesting, but deserves it's own thread clearly.

My guess would be, that Sartar:Kingdom of Heroes has been removed from Lulu, as it has been published under the HeroQuest brand, which is no longer owned by Moon Design. If you look at the Chaosium web site, you will see, that the only hard cover books still available for HeroQuest are HeroQuest Glorantha and The Coming Storm, and these are on sale, because (from the brand change announcement referenced above) So neither Sartar:Kingdom of Heroes nor the Sartar Companion will be available in print or as POD as long as no new version under the QuestWorlds brand has been produced. As far as I know, currently there exist no plans to do so in the near future. I'm pretty sure also, that The Missing Lands will not be made available as PDF or POD, because (From the comments section of the Stafford Library entry in the Well of Daliath.)

If: yes, I still believe that. When: I have no idea.

Yes, I think too, that it is Poland, but anyway, it doesn't make a difference, if you have to wait for a container ship coming from China to arrive in Europe, or if you have to wait for a container ship coming from Europe to arrive in Australia (which is the location of one Chaosium's warehouses), as the Starter Set will not be officially released until it is available in all Chaosium warehouses.

That's really a funny idea! As much as this is a great April Fools' joke, I would really like to see this for real (at least for the Quickstarter rules) 😉.

The Guide to Glorantha covers much than the Glorantha Sourcebook, because it covers Glorantha as a whole world including history from the God Time until 1621, including the Sky, including all the Pantheoi, but all this in a more high level view, whereas the Glorantha Sourcebook covers mainly the Dragon Pass area and the Lunar Empire, the history of these areas after the Dawn, the main Pantheoi worshipped in these areas, and all this in more detail than the Guide. I would strongly recommend to follow Andrew's advice above: start with the Sourcebook and let the Guide follow later.

Sadly no. It has been made clear at the last Impromptu Con, that the Starter Set will be available in PDF at the same time as the print version ...

You tease me with all this fantastic stuff, and then you tell me I have to wait until summer? (Which means June at least.) Shame on you! 😉

I've bought The Company of the Dragon on the first day, that it was available, and have completed my first (cursory) read ... and what shall I say ... it's awesome. And seeing this is a fan publication, makes me wimp out of the idea to create my own publication at some time ... but maybe I will recover. Anyway it's a truly great story, and I cannot wait to really play this fantastic campaign.

Yes, but Ronegarth is not Sun County, right?

As far as I know, not (yet?) ...

Done. Bullet titles (e.g. Episode 1 or Episode 14, etc.) are now direct links to the respective YouTube video. I thought about doing this myself already, and with this thread being pinned now, this is definitely a useful enhancement.

While being a player in @jajagappa's PbF game I've never had an issue with using them as personality trait as well as a magical base. And this makes sense with respect to, how Glorantha is defined: Everything is based on the Runes. Runes are for Glorantha, what atoms are for our world. So they influence everything, regardless if it is magic or a personality trait.

A Rune Master was not a Rune Master since his Initiation into the respective cult. So he has learned the respective spirit spell sometime on his way to becoming a Rune Master from another Rune Master - maybe at a different temple, and maybe even after he has become a Rune Master. That a Rune Master was not available over all this time is quite improbable. And if it was the case indeed, than he was not able to learn that spell, and therefore he is not able to teach it.

Ok, so how can I participate?

Patience is a virtue - and it seems to be the most important geas for all Runequest addicts ...
