Finally in my very very long march to the end of the wondeful Guide of Glorantha I reached the God Learners Maps. Having Just purchased the Mythology book I have read it in parallel with the Mythic Map Section of the Mythology book. The two sections are similar but more different than I would have expected. In short the Mythology book has less infos about the est, the south and the west and some more infos about the north. Very few Thinobutu, almost no Loper People, no six original people of Danmalastan, storm ages became lesser darkness, some events changed era. Why? Is the guide out of official canon or they will be explored further in the future in other supplements? Thanks.

Mastakos is the Orlanthi God of movement and the actual keeper of the movement rune, so he is an "important" God. Why is he rarely worshiped alone? He neither appears in RQ:G rulebook. Thanks.

Mechanically is simple, a bonus / malus can be additive or multiplicative. If we have two or more modifiers of the same type there is no problem, but if they are of different type has to be decided if first apply additive then multiplicative modifier or first multiplicative then additive.

I have added this to the RQ Starter Set errata thread.

Book 3, section 112 (and maybe others) As stated in thread shield absorbing damage question on starter set solo quest shields in soloquest have a strange behaviour, absorbing damage on selected locations even after a failed parry.

But in the solo adventure you are alone confronting a charging rider, not in tight formation.

Sould I halve the bonus or not? I.e. i have 50 long bow skill augmented by 20. If I halve it by long range should I roll under 35 or under 45? Thanks.

I'm trying to avoid spoilers. On point 112: "Decide which location shield is protecting. Once you’ve done so, roll the lance attack (70%), and your own parry or dodge. Determine hit location, then apply damage if the attacker overwhelms the combined value of any shield or armor." I thought shields absorbed the damage on selected hit locations only with missile weapons where you can't parry. Does this happens on melee combat too where you can parry? And in this last case it does absorbs damage on the selected hit locations even if you fail the parryng roll as it seems from soloquest? Thanks.

I have some questions regarding NPC in Starter Set book 2: Orngerin Holdfast has Spirit Rune at 60%. In RQG I haven't found the possibility to have spirit rune, perhaps I have missed something? Erryn Mercy Is a chalana Arroy Priestess an has access to Sorcery spells, but Chalana Arroy does not give access to sorcery ans she does not seems coming from the west or having a Lunar past. How can she access sorcery? Thanks.

A reply on the recent discussion thread on fb about starter set unboxing.

It is a quote from Rick Meints, I think he is an important person here.

I think I have read on fb that Starter set will come out with some VTT integration ... I hope so.

Wonderful reference!

In particular playing KoDP you have a very strong Elmal Cult, then reading the new books you see that Elmal is, at best, of irrelevant importance, if ever existed as a standalone God. Is this only due to the different time perod or KoDB is strongly based on "now non canon" sources? Are there other big differencies? Thanks

Reading various sources I tought ducks were brave amd successfull respected warriors, then I found in RQ:G Bestiary: "Most ducks have a special Passion of Cowardly 60%, which acts in a similar fashion to Honor but enforces craven behavior." How this is possible? Are ducks cowards or fierce warriors? Thanks

After one and a half years of study I'm starting my RQ:G campaign. I was thinking to create the PC with the players ... but then I discovered RQ Starter Set is coming out. I think it will be better to use one of the pregenerated characters, to avoid to overwhelm the players with the complexity of the (beautiful) character creation process. When will it be published approximately? Will it have a pdf version too? Thanks.

I often asked myself a thing that like most other in Gloranta, is for me very fascinating and confusing. What is the connection (that seems very "dynamic" depending the time) betweek the poor Elmal loyal thane horse's and Yelmalio. Now they seem to be the same thing and the cult of Elmal has almost disappeared as "Elmal" and survivies only under Yelmalio. But I am among these who discovered Glorantha through KoDP, and betweeen early sartarites it appeared to be an important deity. I wondered very much to discovered it was wiped away. Now I see that the KoDP repreentation is considered a little "out of canon" ... where is the truth? (I understand that is a totally absurd question ... ) Thanks

Reading RQG I have not well understood how many adults are Initiates or only lay members to gods, it seems that almost everyone is Initiate to some God ..how much Lay members between adults, especially in Dragon Pass Area? Thank you.

Yes, now that I looked to the Guide I have seen there are a lot of deities using runes non existing in RQG ...

The fact is that runes does not seem a game mechanics element but an essential Glorantha world element, like to say that Orlanth exists only in RQG and not in HQG.

One is trade, movement, trade, the other is harmony, movement. And trade rune is missing from RQG, as some other do. And perhaps there are more "glorantha" differences between the two systems, apart the game system. And this make me ask another question: are the Glorantha depicted by RQG and the Glorantha depicted by HQG really the same? Thanks

I forgot quoting this ...

Why Discord and not Zoom to chat (or vice versa) ? Discord to write and zoom to talk? Thanks.

I'd like to use some virtual tabletop to starting play RQ:G. What do you use? RollD20? Are there around some resources? I have seen there is a very good character set for RQ:G but I can't find it. Sorry but I'm newbie to RollD20 (and to RQ:G too, being expert on Glorantha will be much more difficult I thnk) Thank you very much.
