Ah, I see. But if you look at the picture on page 40, you can see two dragonewt plinths in the background. I'm not sure, if these are the same as on p.38, but at least I would expect, that the picture on p.38 shows a similar pair of dragonewt plinths. So I guess the plinth obscured by the tables is carved with mysterious Auld Wyrmish symbols similar (but not identical) to the visible one.

Thanks for the pointer. It's not obscured by the location table on my PDF.... what are you reading this on? Or is that the physical book? It's also not obscured in my print version of the Gamemaster Adventures book. So I can assume only, that @Bren refers to an older version of the PDF ...

Wyrms Footnotes 15 contains a section about travelling in the Marsh:

Thanks for this really helpful description! But I have an additional question: What does 'will appear' mean? Is it just the top of the "stake" jutting out of the earth? Or more like a magical glowing appearing out of nowhere? Anything else?

Regarding Trollpak: I've did a fast (and not too detailed) comparison between the RuneQuest Classic Trollpak PDF (which is the electronic version of the respective POD) and my RQ3 version of Trollpak and related supplements. My main impression is, that the RQ3 Trollpak box contains mainly the same information as the RuneQuest Classic Trollpak. The differences I could make out: The Sazdorf clan information (history and genealogy) has been moved into the RQ3 supplement The Haunted Ruins. The history in the RQ3 supplment ends in the year 1562, whereas in the RuneQuest Classic Trollpak it goes until 1617 (including the infiltration by Londra and the Wooden Sword). The genealogy in the RuneQuest Classic Trollpak contains some more details. Similar the Sazdorf adventure and the descriptions of the ruins has been moved into the RQ3 supplement The Haunted Ruins. Several of the sections and adventures from the RuneQuest Classic Trollpak have been moved for RQ3 into the supplement Into the Troll Realms (The Caravans, The Moth-Riders, Skyfall Lake, Grubfarm and Flying Trollkin). So besides getting the information in electronic format it seems, you need the RuneQuest Classic Trollpak POD only, if you want to get the extended history and genealogy of the Sazdorf clan ...

Wrong movie ... 😉

I know, that @jajagappatoo uses Powerpoint for creating his maps, which sometimes leads to very impressive results (e.g. his Nochet map). I've tried to play around a bit with Campaign Cartographer, which has led to good results indeed - if you invest a certain amount of time.

"We are on a mission from the Goddess!"

Just realised, that the RuneQuest logo with the new typography was used already with the virtual backgrounds provided for online gaming: So it is longer in the world already ... I just didn't realised it ...

But isn't HeroQuest Glorantha already/now a Chaosium setting used with the QuestWorlds SRD?

Yes, really a good catch. I didn't even realised it with the last two books side by side: And in fact I like the new Runequest logo better ...

This appeared yesterday (Wednesday) on my door. Order previous week on Thursday. So less than a week between ordering and receiving these wonderful books 😲. Fastest delivery every for any Gloranthan product! That can mean only, that Mastakos must have been involved here too! Living in Munich, Germany this order was handled by the new European warehouse (located in Poland, I think). Obviously this new warehouse is a real win (at least for me ...)

So if I read this correctly, HeroQuest Glorantha will be republished (and possibly re-worked) as QuestWorld Glorantha? Similar approach for The Coming Storm and The Eleven Lights? What about Sartar:Kingdom of Heroes, the Sartar Companion and Pavis:Gateway to Adventure? Or is it more likely, that the PDFs of these product will be moved the HeroQuest and Glorantha Vault, and only new Glorantha products for QuestWorlds will get the new brand?

I will heed the warning ... (I'm one of the players ...)

I guess, all three parts of the whole Sandheart campaign ...

So to answer the OP's question: Yes, I am frustrated, because I would like to have a look at these documents. On the other hand: even if I wouldn't have missed the Guide to Glorantha Kickstarter (I've entered the tribe around 2015 with HeroQuest Glorantha), I wouldn't have gone up to that backer level ...

Please bear with me, but I do not even understand, what you are talking about. This sounds, as if there exists a series of publications (Roots of Glorantha), of which I've never heard before. So could you please elaborate a bit, what this is?

Ah, I knew I had heard of them (I'm one of the players, who's character(s) are currently looking for them ...)

@Minlister Can you reveal the source of the pictures?

As far as I know the latter is already in the works (by David Scott for Prax and by Robin Laws for the Rubble). See

Dorastor: Land of Doom is a Runequest 3 supplement, and so far I'm not aware of any legal PDF versions of Runequest 3 modules. So, no, there is no legitimate way to purchase this PDF. But anyway: welcome to the tribe!

From King of Sartar (2015 edition), The Argrath Book, p.157: Which map is your reference? If it's the map on p.11 of the Smoking Ruins adventure module, then yes, the ruins on top of the printed word 'Ruins' south of Centaur Ford should be Voss Varainu, and the ruins below the same word mark the remains of the Zoo, which - according to King of Sartar (2015 edition), The Argrath Book, p.157 again - was near the southern gate of Voss Varainu.

I think one of the important points regarding the Glorantha Sourcebook and the Guide to Glorantha is the respective year of reference. Guide to Glorantha: 1621 ST Glorantha Sourcebook: 1625 ST This means, that the Glorantha Sourcebook contains information about four years, which never made it into the Guide to Glorantha. But even information about years covered by both books is much more detailed in the Sourcebook.

Have been? Does that mean, the books are done basically? Or does it mean, work is on hold, because other projects became more important?

Ok, so there is no 'canonical' explanation, just the usual speculation ... 😉
