  1. Thank you - that's a very speedy and generous reply. I'll follow your lead on this. Only minor tweaking required to the PC's family tree required.
  2. Hi there, I'm starting up an RQ campaign (after 25+ years...) and doing some reading of recent publications. Baranthos is stated as being the son of Estavos in the Broken Tower scenario and the Glorantha wiki (citing the Sartar Companion as source). However, the Gamemaster Adventures pack in the GM Screen shows him as being the son of Dunorl (p.21) and on p.18 states "Baranthos son of Dunorl the Old has been chief since 1602)." Which I guess then brings up the question of whether his wife is Kendestra (Glorantha wiki) or Zara (Broken Tower). Grateful if someone could shed some light on this for me? Thanks,
  3. OK, well that's a lot of exciting content to look forward to!
  4. I'm with you on this. I believe that even for the old hands (or les grognards) there will be some useful material too. I see a glimpse of a couple of nice maps and a "strike rank tracker" which may prove of value.
  5. Hi there, I'm exploring the rather wonderful GM pack and taking a (long...) run up to starting a Roll20 RQ campaign. Could anyone please tell me the scale to the printed Colymar Tribes map please? Apologies in advance if this is not the sort of question one is supposed to ask 😟 Many thanks,
  6. @Smokebadger - thank you for these. I have just started experimenting with Roll20 and was somewhat dismayed by the lack of support for RQ. Your content is very welcome as I am preparing to start an RQ campaign (after a 30 year hiatus).
  7. OK then... Great sales pitch. Bought it. Looking forward to reading it.
  8. Hi there, I discovered RQ when I tired of AD&D and saved up my pocket money to buy GW's RQ2 in 1980. My friends and I played RQ through Balazar and the Elder Wilds, Pavis and the Borderlands up to and through the AH RQ3 period and the wonderful RQ Renaissance of the early 90's - Sun County, Strangers in Prax, Dorastor. I went to Convulsion several times, met Greg and even landed up with a copy of Sandy Petersen's campaign notes from the Convulsion auction in 1994 (?). Great memories. Then I guess life got in the way. I moved to Australia in 2005 and all my RQ stuff has sat in boxes in the loft for at least 15 years; I haven't played a game of RQ in at least 20. Keeping track of RQ and Glorantha became tiresome as it branched in so many different directions. Every now and again I would buy an RQ or Glorantha product mostly as a homage to my teens. I would leaf through the product and then consign it to the back of a cupboard. With the COVID19 lockdown in hand, I pulled out my copy of latest RQ Rules on a whim and gave it a good read. The years have fallen away and I'm a teenager again! The production quality is magnificent and the rules and the setting have been honoured admirably. I realise too that I now have potentially captive players - two children the age I was when I first lifted the lid on RQ2 and rejoiced at the lack of character classes and alignments. So... there's real no point or question to this post. I simply felt moved to offer my thanks to those who kept the spirit of RQ and Glorantha alive during a fallow period and have engineered such a magnificent rebirth. Thank you
  9. RQ defined my gaming experiences in the 80's and early 90's. I met Greg at Convulsion and had the honour of sharing a pint with him when we were in the same team for a Gloranthan trivia quiz. We didn't score so well and he marvelled impishly at the scarily encyclopaedic knowledge of fellow Convulsion attendees. I was always more of a fan of RQ than Glorantha but the latter provided many rich adventures and epic tales for my RQ campaign. My gaming friends then are my best friends now - 30 years on and without a diet of gaming weekends and pizza to sustain us. I owe much to Greg and Glorantha and will remember him. Farewell.
