    Hello!

    Thanks for this.  I want to second the fanship of the Yes/No/Maybe summary at the end.  It's really helpful and useful.  It pretty much perfectly got what were we about and distilled it down to short sentences.

    Thanks. The format is designed to help the reader decide fairly quickly (as well give another format for me to write to).

    Also in need of a once through edit...

    "What do you get?
    Rubble Runners - A collection of Pavis Characters is a collection of fifteen NPCs, each of which is accompanied by five or six associates and contacts—their supporting cast and five and five or six encounter and plot hooks. l

    Thank you. Fixed now.

    I not only like those summaries, I also like the broken down content in smaller sections. In the past, my #1 criticism of your (otherwise very good) articles was that it was often a big uniform block of text without any separate sections or structure. Often there would be some implied structure (like a few paragraphs on the physical aspect of a book) but it was indistinguishable from the rest at first glance. Thanks again!

    I will bear that it mind. I do have a structure to my reviews and yes, my paragraphs can be lengthy. That though often comes from longer books.

    Thank you for doing these!

    I'm particularly appreciating your "Yes/No/Maybe" elements at the end.

    That is okay. Glad to review these and the 'Yes/No/Maybe' summation is a nice change of format and a bit punchier in style.

    Glorantha Games 2020: #WeAreAllUs!

    We did it in 2019, so on Saturday, April 25th, 2020, Darren Happens and Pookie will be hosting Glorantha Games 2020, a one-day roleplaying convention dedicated to the world of Glorantha. Games will include HeroQuest Glorantha, 13th Age Glorantha, and of course, RuneQuest: Roleplaying in Glorantha, all set in the fantastical, myth-infused world created by Greg Stafford. Many of the games will be run by the RuneMasters, the team of Game masters who debuted at Continuum 2018.

    Held at the Geek Retreat cafe in Birmingham city centre, less than ten minutes’ walk from each of Birmingham’s three train stations, the event starts at 10 am and finishes at 8:00 pm and will include two four-hour gaming sessions, a charity raffle with some great prizes, and good company.

    Attackers for Gringle's Pawnshop

    I have been giving this more thought and perhaps there is scope here for a versions of the stats for both versions of Apple Lane—RuneQuest Classic and RuneQuest III—updated to RuneQuest: Roleplaying in Glorantha, and then a third version actually written based on the RuneQuest Bestiary.

    I had a quick look at the first one (Khochaz) to see how conversions would work, since I never tried it myself, and I have some questions:

    • Why did you lower his Protection 2 down to a Protection 1?
    • I believe the 1H heavy mace damage would be 1D8+2+1D4 (not 1D6)?
    • How did you get SR 9 for the sling? It's SR 2 from DEX (there's no SR modifier from SIZ for thrown weapons I think), so it should be SR 2 if the sling is loaded, SR 7 if it's unloaded?
    • Shield damage is, I think, missing the damage modifier? It should be 1D4+1D4?

    Kochaz had no number given for Protection in Apple Lane (original). Since the others have Protection 2, I have since bumped it.
    As for the sling, I simply added the base SR given in the Bestiary. Essentially this is a quick and adaptation.

    The missing shield damage is my error. I have added that and made sure that the skills are correct as best I can. This includes making sure that they have the correct Devise, Move Quietly, Scan, and Search skills.
