Soon after the release of the Starter Set, we will be releasing a new adventures set in Jonstown and the surrounding area and requiring nothing else other than the materials in the Starter Set to play. 

Nice 🙂 !

Same as for The Smoking Ruin, players' maps would be welcomed...

You want to take at look at previous Chalana Arroy thread:

I thought it was Poland?

As said, China printer is indicated on the box picture:

Most likely (my guessings):
. because it is a box, with dices
. it will be printed a lot, both to lower costs and because it will sell like hot cakes 🙂 !

It has been announced more for the summer as it has to arrive from printer (China according to box picture) to all warehouses.
With a pdf version but only when physical version is available.

I am curious to know why it is deemed beneficial to time the PDF with the physical publication. Was it discussed? 

Bigger buzz / awareness for the D Day to attract new players?

So I have the QuickStart, but would we be better of waiting for the Starter set (not sure how long a wait)?

Yesterday, Jason mentioned on FB that the SS should be sent to the printer by the end of the week. So possibly available in (late) May, depending of COVID impacts. With pdf release the same day physical product is available.

Still think "en Glorantha" makes more sense than "dans Glorantha" -- but this is a great result, and no doubt this release was helped by material similarity with the old Oriflam RQ3 hardcover.

I see "dans Glorantha" as a contraction of "dans le monde de Glorantha".

Although in 1625, isn't the whole thing just academic anyway? The Shiprise broke the Closing, so Open Seas serves no purpose any longer? 

Sure, but sailors do not know that...

It is also worth checking which Conan stories are written by Howard, and which by others, since not all the authors have the same prejudice.

Too bad, as Howard's stories are by far the best.

But I would say that applying (or not applying) modern sensibilities to other time writings are not the subject of this thread and would be better in a separate thread.

About recommendations, for adults only, in webcomic form, the Nart sagas are a series of tales originating from the North Caucasus. They form much of the basic mythology of the ethnic groups in the area, including Abazin, Abkhaz, Circassian, Ossetian, Karachay-Balkar, and to some extent Chechen-Ingush folklore.

Quote

The Narts are a mythic tribe of ancient heroes who appear in legends that date back to classical times.
These tales are full of absurd humor, outrageous stunts, bawdy sorceresses, weird gay stuff, talking horses, and so much more.

Created in collaboration with neuroscientists and people who experience psychosis, Hell blade: Senua’s Sacrifice will pull you deep into Senua’s mind.

as well as the soundtrack

Thanks a lot Jim, but, @Jason D, still no official player handout please?

I used to be able to get it to work reasonably with certain browsers.  Unfortunately, Chrome is not one of them as it doesn't like to run Java code.

What browser are you using to run it?  Or are you running within some other Java development environment?

Using Windows, Chrome is fine using IE Tab extension AND authorizing https://wellofdaliath.chaosium.com/site-apps/ephemeris/EphemerisII.html url in Java security tab in "Configure Java" control panel.

Just in case for buyers: if you see several files for download, latest file is
Armies_and_Enemies_of_Dragon_Pass.pdf
not old
Armies_and_Enemies_of_Dragon_Pass_plus_covers.pdf
(DTRPG glitch)

As far as we know, all of RQG spirit & runic spells from publications up to Cults of Glorantha. "Plus some more things" according to Jason Durall.

A much better necklace to illustrate than a babeester gori's one 😁 !

There was one map from the Sazdorf ruins missing in the original Classic Trollpak books, which finally appeared in the Haunted Ruins.  I don't recall checking to see if it got added when Chaosium republished Trollpak - @Rick Meints can probably comment on that.

 

I believe it was the other way around:; in tHR for RQ3, plan was missing for rooms 62 to 77.
Map OK in RQ2 Classic Trollpak page 177.

Before or after recycling 😀 ?

Well, it IS most likely Elric. I was just crediting the artist 🙂 .
