  1. Glorantha First! Make Glorantha Great Again! Glorantha ΓΌber alles! 😜 To answer @Shawn Carpenter's question if not questionnaire, what I would want from a QW fantasy world is... Glorantha! πŸ˜‡
  2. Fire, Mastery, Spirit or something like that?!? I see also the Horse (Beast) Rune. What? No Rune of Power, tsk, tsk, tsk... πŸ˜‡ I like that drawing a lot. It is very evocative. Thank you very much!
  3. Well, I guess @Jeff was still under the spell of RQ:AiG1, i.e. the RQIV that never was, where Elmal does have Fire powers (Fireblade & Firearrow at least if I remember correctly)!?!
  4. Ork & porks... with CHA even lower than trollkins, urgh!
  5. Considering that you live in The Underworld, that makes sense! 😜 Kidding aside, @Vile, did you see that both are available not only from the USA but also from the UK? Maybe one of the warehouse locations is cheaper than the other for shipping to HK?
  6. I was quite suprised to find this a few days ago while wandering on Lulu.com ... Sartar: Kingdom of Heroes (2009) Sartar Companion (2010) That's great, but of course it is also quite puzzling. Why isn't it mentioned on the Chaosium page for the PDF of each of these products? Why aren't these also available in hardcover? Why Lulu & why not (also?) DTRPG? Will Pavis: Gateway to Adventure (2012) also be available as it is also out-of-print? What about HeroQuest: Core Rules (2009) later on?

  8. Yes, he is!?! HeroQuest: Roleplaying in Glorantha (2003) is available on pdf in the HQ & Glorantha Vault but Hero Wars: Roleplaying in Glorantha (2000) isn't. Hero's Book: Playing HeroQuest {2003) is also missing, by the way.
  9. Make doubly sure that the discount code you received by e-mail once the Glorantha Sourcebook hardover was published is the right one, @Joerg! I have never had any problem.
  10. By "shop" Joerg means the Chaosium online store, Scott.
  11. In fact it is even cheaper now! There is a lot of stuff on sale on Chaosium.com including both Magic World & Advanced Sorcery. Both of them for 10 bucks each, it's a steal!
  12. To be an initiate of Humakt you must have the Death Rune. Whether you have the Truth Rune or not is up to you. So, yes, having a Humakt intitiate with Darkeness, Death & Mastery is perfectly OK. S:KoH (2009) had a "godless" sample character, Orlmakt Braveheart the Vengeful Thane, who wasn't initiated to any god. That's also a possibility.
  13. Makes sense. Thank you for the quick answer! (But, how many Lightbringers are there... really & who broke the Ginna jar?!! Wondering Lankohrings still puzzle over that... )
  14. Yummy! The core quadrilogy! HQ:G to understand HQ:CR better & HQ:CR to understand HQ:G better!?! Besides, the QuestWorlds (HQ2.2) SRD is out now so that's further help... Finally, @Ian Cooper's magnificent Red Cow campaign volume 1 & 2 for years of play. Very tempting, even if I already own all of those already... @MOB, what about Pavis:Gateway to Adventure, shouldn't it also be on sale?!?
  15. All your questions & more have been gloriously answered long ago in part 48 of the (Argrath the) Gwandor Saga!
  16. Yeah, just like "fighting fire with fire!"
  17. Klosters! (Sorry, couldn't resist... )
  18. ... yeah, Maboder annihilation ! Apparently, 1602 (Fall of Sartar)-1655 (Moonfall) with a lot of details -season by season- between 1625-1628, less between 1629-1655 (yearly basis) & even less for the recent past, 1602-1624, but still more than we've ever had!?! Quite a tantalizing program... wait & see.
  19. ... he was murdered by Humakti assassins in 1624 shortly before the Dragonrise.
  20. You got that right, @Steve! @Newt Newport's Glorantha Aventures: New Beginnings, Issue 1 (2001) is indeed a scenario for HQ:CR (2009) & as we all know & as Newt repeats on p. 7: NPCs do not have any stats in HQ2 (HQ:CR/ HQ:G)! But the indomitable @soltakss also has an answer for this one!
  21. The Chaosium's own John Wick has some very nice things to say about game balance as well, but the short of it is: "In a roleplaying game, game balance does not matter. Let me say that again: In a roleplaying game, game balance does not matter. What matters is spotlight. Making sure each player feels their character had a significant role in the story. They had their moment in the spotlight. Or, they helped someone else have their significant moment in the spotlight."
  22. We've known for some time now that YGWV also means Your Game Will Vary, but I guess it also means Your Gini (coefficient) Will Vary!
  23. I thought just like you, but now @Jeff has released a sketch of Jonstown for a forthcoming product & it includes a temple to Yelmalio. He has also hinted that each major city of Sartar has got one.
