If you already own the RQG core rulebook you will be able to buy an empty slipcase and also order the Bestiary and GM Pack to complete the set. For a limited time this will be available at a special bundled price.

If you have purchased the PDFs of the Bestiary and the GM Pack, you will receive coupons for the full price of these PDFs off the cost of the printed books.

The first printing of the core rulebook is sold out. The second printing of the rulebook features many corrections as well as brighter artwork.

The Leatherette bound version of the Rulebook and the Bestiary, sold separately, or in a slipcase, will be sold at the same time as the regular hardcover books and slipcase set.

Please NOTE: Empty slipcases and partial slipcase sets (Bestiary and GM Screen pack with a slipcase) will not be sold through distribution. Those items will only be available on Chaosium.com. Retail stores will have the full slipcase set, plus the rulebook, bestiary, and GM screen pack for individual purchase.

these two posts from an older thread make it sound like you will be able to use the coupons on both books and also they will have a partial slipcase set available online. 

He can't attack her until she is in range. His statement of Intent is to wait until she is in range. So he had to wait to to attack until she had moved. So her spell happens prior to her moving while he is waiting. He is delaying his action. 

Should go spell then his attack then her attack

Pg.83 chart for heirlooms. The entry for awakened small animal. the last sentence refers to the Bestiary. there are no references for either small animals or awakened animals in the Bestiary. this sentence should probably be removed. it would be nice also to have a reference somewhere for small animals since it says to use normal stats but those are not anywhere to be found.

This is on page 73 and seems to be the way RQG is intended, based on every NPC in the GM screen adventures being initiates:

"Nearly every adult is initiated into the cult of a specific deity."

I think these are two different initiations this article by Greg Stafford clears it up for me. http://www.glorantha.com/docs/orlanthi-initiation-rites/

I look at the fully initiated status as being an initiate level in the cult and obtaining rune points prior to that they would still be lay members

I don't get why some people keep on insisting that most people in Glorantha are lay members instead of initiates, nothing in Runequest books support this.

For me it is this quote from page 269 in the RQG book

"Most who belong to a cult are lay members, without any authority or position within the cult."

Discrepancy between GM screen and RQG rule book.

GM screen:
'Summary of Combat Results' box says "A critical success ignores armor and does maximum special damage plus damage bonus."
Attack/Parry and Dodge tables show the same

But the RQG rule book (page 206) says
"A critical hit ignores the effects of armor or any other protection, and does impaling, slashing, or crushing damage (depending on weapon type), as described above."

So, just plain special damage ignoring armor, not max special damage ignoring armor.

 

However if you read the damage sections of the special damage types other than crushing they say that a critical does max damage. 

Adventure book pg 4 last paragraph of scenarios section should be "gamemaster may need to adjust" rather than adjustment

Pg 269 somewhat contradicts that and says that most members of the cult are lay members. Most people will not have access to rune magic just those who are in the cult hierarchy.

There is a download link for it in the RQG book page.

As someone who suffers from moderate color blindness the brown elf and green elf distribution map on page 12 is difficult to differentiate.
