Not sure if Jeff announces two new books in the stream: Dragon Pass Atlas Boldhome Guide Is he talking about previous stuff or future releases in production? Also, he mentions that Cults of Glorantha is relatively soon to be released, great news!

Nope, current releases from RQ have great quality, imho, RQG is an outstanding stuff, translation is also ok

This post comes from the chat about TTRPGs news at Games On online convention with some representatives from Edge Entertaiment. They didnt speak about RuneQuest, but they replied to a message in the chat: Translation (more or less): It is open to interpretation, but I fear, they will announce they will be not releasing any more titles for RQ. Also, note that the presence of Edge in their own forums is sporadic, they do not usually interact with users and frequently they let spammers to send their stuff, leaving messages there for weeks. As a proof, currently in the RQ forums the first post is a spam message. I'd honestly wish Chaosium IP's local publishers have a clause concerning minimum yearly releases to retain the license. I think currently Edge owns the license for 5 more years.

Yes, that's what I was exactly questioning, but I think Scotty undestood me right, since he says "Yes they can attack the spirit in spirit combat on SR12", he is speaking about the full party, not only the one being assaulted by the spirit. Isnt it?

Ops, interesting, I thought they cant since they were not spirit-wise specialists, so to speak. Well, I think it is ok since it opens up a chance for the rest of the party to help their mate in case he is attacked and they have no means of hurting it. Undestood! Thanks!

I think you meant No, isnt it? The question was about a random character using Spirit Combat directly to attack other than the one engaged with the Spirit that has no other magical means of hurting the Spirit. Later on, I asked about Shamans having to send their fetch or discoporate themselves to engage the Spirit, and you replied So if a shaman cant use Spirit Combat directly on a Spirit attacking his mate, then another mate shouldnt be allowed to, I guess. Rest of questions was due to my lack of knowledge of the spirit rules. I think I mostly got it Thanks for all clarifications!

I’ve been reading through all the thread and has clarified me a lot of rules about Spirit Combat, but I still have some questions Suppose a spirit corporates to attack a character, he is with his two other teammates. The spirit combat goes at SR12, using spirit combat skill, and if the character wants, can make any offensive action at the normal SR (for spell, attack), with the exception that the resolution of attacks is based on spirit combat, players’ attack Vs spirit’s spirit combat (in that case two resolutions are made at that round) If their mates want to jump in the fight, they can use spells or attacks with magical stuff (not spirit magic boosted weapons, since do not affect most spirits) [Question 1] most here say that the other guys must be able to see the spirit, what does this exactly mean? Don’t they see it once it has corporated? If attacking, the other characters can use their magical infused attacks, but [Question 2] Can they use their spirit combat in case they do not have any other means of attacking the spirit? (in this case the spirit can use his own spirit combat to counter) [Question 3] What can a shaman do with this situation if he is not the one attacked? I understand he can send his fetch to attack the spirit, right? But he cannot attack directly with spirit combat, thou he can use infused weapons/spells, [Question 4] And, finally, if the character wants to use spirit dance to retire from combat and has sucess, what are the options of the spirit? Can he attack another character? Can he attack again the same character? Does the spirit return to the spirit world? [Question 5] If more than one character is in combat with a spirit, can any of them retire from spirit combat? Is so, the spirit return to the spirit world even if it is still engaged with other characters? [Question 6] If retirement from combat is as easy as rolling spirit dance, how can shamans capture spirits or steal their spells, they only need to have sucess in a roll (spirit dance uncontested or spirit combat vs spirit combat) when its mps are low they will try to disengange and the combat will end with no option to the shaman. The same for a character, if you only need to pass a spirit combat confrontation to avoid a spirit, then the chances of being possesed are quite low, imho. In fact, this is what I, as a character would try once and again when a spirit materializes. Chances are on my side to success in one confrontantion before my mps runs out

Great to hear that! By now, this is the kind of art i'm using for my games of CoC:

Maybe it's still coming, its a long way from Chaosium depths to brp forums...

Yep, we dont even have an "official" logo for Chaosium!!!! A dark and ligth version with transparent background. Not to speak about Call of Cthulhu or Runequest!!! Or even about a Cult of Chaos logo, or an "official" font to be used. Please, think on a corporative look for the CoC events!

Hi: Does it exist a zip file with official logos to be used for poster to announce official Cult of Chaos events? It would be great to have an official Chaosium, a Call of Cthulhu and a Cult of Chaos high resolution logos to create posters.
