Thanks everyone. I grabbed the Witchcraft pdf and Sorandib. I've not gone into the Thennla material before so wasn't aware of the contents of Sorandib. Between the two i should have what I need.
Is there any comprehensive alchemy rules for creating an alchemist type character in any D100 based games, any of Chaosium's products, MGP Legend line or Mythras or anything else?
Round here (UK South Coast) it's usually mud that get's people and animals. The Emergency services are always having to rescue someone or something that wandered onto coastal mud flats and got stuck waist-deep or more.
Not as far as I know, mostly as Mongoose no longer has a licence to print anything related to Glorantha. You should be able to find either/both as second hand as that's where I got mine (at Continuum convention IIRC).
There's two versions of Empire. One (I have a softbound copy for MRQi) and one for MRQII (I have the hardback version) they are IIRC slightly different in content.
PDF's aren't transferrable. Your only hope is to pick up a copy on an auction site or from somewhere like Noble Knight Games which specialises in second hand printed material.
Considering that the contract was signed in December and writing probably hasn't even started I'd suggest you are a bit premature. I'd expect the game in 2021 or 2022.
Note that a sort of third party (Credit Manager) is holding those funds (he's also part of SF which seems to imply that there might have been some suggestions/complaints of co-mingling of funds from different KS projects as SF have struggled to both get stuff out on time (down to illness and poor project management) and ship printed versions. I got my Contemporary Magical Places last week after SF sent the files to DTRPG about 2 months back.
New Tales is being offered through DTRPG but the notice says expect printed copies being dispatched late Feb/March by SF after they've sold enough through DTRPG to pay for printing and shipping to backers.
Err Mike M is the Chaosium Line Editor for Call of Cthulhu and can be considered the official authority. Examples are only that and cannot be expected to cover every situation that might arise and the Keeper is the only arbiter that matters in his or her game.
