 "we don't have print-quality PDFs to use"

Hum, for B&W books, I'm not sure HQ pdf are really needed. Lulu printing is not HQ anyway: useful and enough to play, but definitively not HQ...

On a  side note, the RuneQuest Bestiary mentions a slew of other Umbroli with interesting abilities (Knifewind, Breathtaker etc) . However the Windhags, pale maidens, bridgekeepers and well spirits are given no descriptions beyond their names.

Look here for Windhags, pale maidens, bridgekeepers and well spirits descriptions (still not fixed in Bestiary pdf by the way...) :

Did you check Simon's article on the subject?

Hi,

I just stumbled on a full colour Furthest City Map that we were going to publish many years ago. I will clean it up, pops some labels on and PDF it if people are interested.

Is it true that it requires Windows 10? GOG says Win 10 only, but is it a requirement or just a sales condition?

It is unfortunately a requirement.

And if maps are needed, you can check Glorantha map (1.5 Mo) and Genertela map (14,5 Mo) on good old

Community, a 2 points divine spell, was already available and described in Gods of Glorantha (Avalon Hill)
"This spell guarantees rapid and easy communication of ideas, and facilitates the sharing of new or troubled thoughts." i.e. basically, communication skill rolls are always successful.

Let's hope mods will be allowed in future and enigmatic Black Shamrock Official Runequest PC game...

For info,  Edan Jone wrote a nice in world Underworld summary on his blog:

This text comes from a God Learner treatise on the Underworld, found in a Lhankor Mhy knowledge temple.
It represents one school of thought during the time, and is a useful illustration of the God Learner's attempts to apply logic to the illogical.
Scholia from an unknown third age commentator has been reproduced as footnotes.

A separate list or table compiling races that can be used as PC can also be useful.

Back cover page:

Inside, you’ll find:
• Guidance for non-human adventurer creation, covering the many types of elves and dwarfs, centaurs, dark trolls, great trolls, trollkin, Telmori werewolves, Men-and-a-half, and ducks.

+ baboons, minotaurs, morokanths.

Dancers in Darkness are cool. Great for giving the Humakti a "D&D cleric moment" showing them the holy symbol. Where can I read more about their association with Delecti?

RQC=> simply the RuneQuest Campaign book (previous GameMaster book)...

First I've heard of something called the Starter Set.  What's that?

It is described in the above video: basic rules, 1 short adventure to learn rules, 3 new small aventures + maps + pregens + simplified version to generate PCs.

There is still http://web.archive.org/web/20190314115751/http://www.gspendragon.com/ to access it.

I'm confused by the fact that looking at illustrations for HQ books is ok, but learning about the designer notes that were given to artists to come up with said illustrations is not.

But thanks for the links

Here is another one with designer notes: how the Guide to Glorantha Ralios illustration was realized, by Jan Pospíšil

Well, for my side, about the rules, given than RQ6/Mythras has been available for a while, I can't see many reason to use MRQ I & II or refer to it.

About Glorantha content, I have no issue taking ideas in the best books, S&P issues or Living Glorantha scenarios, as I do with every other fan material.

By the way, about Living Glorantha scenarios, as they are still available via web.archive, I'm wondering if we are allowed to link to them, or if there is a licence / ownership issue?

It was in Strangers in Prax

I own both and I can confirm what Pete Nash said:

Its a straight conversion from Paolo's excellent BRP version to Mythras.
So other than rules changes there's no new information... but it does come as a hardback and the pdf is fully indexed and hyperlinked.

Outside new art, new editing, new layout, new proofing, Mythic Rome book is at 97% the same than BRP book...

I guess it is:

a Heal 3 potion would cost 300L, and be worth five times the income of an entire Free household's yearly income!

I would say that almost nobody has that kind of available money in cash. I guess bill would have to be paid in services (ex: healer protection while searching for components).
