Soccercalle Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 I wonder when we can expect new scenarios and campaign books for RQG? When the new rules where announced to come out we heard talk about a plan for releasing new content every other month. It now feels like we have the most beautiful rule books in history (I really love them) but very little content to play with. If Chaosium have to choose between high quantity with good quality or low quantity with excellent quality I really prefer the former. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 There's plenty of content you can play with - all the RQ2 (Classic) material, for example. The RQ Classic reprints give you years' worth of playing material on their own. At the Dragonmeet seminar last weekend, Jeff and Jason made it clear that there's absolutely tons of new stuff in the pipeline. But they're working on getting all the main rules and background stuff (e.g. GM Sourcebook, Cults of Glorantha and Red Book of Magic) in place before they un-stop the dam and let the flood forth.

Sumath Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 (edited) The next three products for release contain playable content: The Smoking Ruins (scenarios and sand box), Pegasus Plateau (mini-scenarios/encounters) and the Runequest Starter Set, which will contain a write-up of Jonstown. I'd guess we'll see the first of these as a PDF release in early 2020. Edited December 2, 2019 by Sumath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soccercalle Posted December 2, 2019 Author Share Posted December 2, 2019 Thanks for the replies and I hope that you all are right. I know that there is a lot of old material. But at the same time I really like the new way of creating characters for a later year in Dragon Pass. I think that most new players are hesitant to rework old scenarios. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soltakss Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 They also said that they want to be where Call of Cthulhu is now, with a release every 2 months, and think they can achieve this by mid-next year. In the meantime, the Jonstown Compendium should have lots of goodies. Quote Simon Phipp - Caldmore Chameleon - Wallowing in my elitism since 1982. Many Systems, One Family.

g33k Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Something that would be a worthwhile endeavor (Jonstown Compendium, maybe? Or just a fan collaboration here...) would be to extend Family-Background Tables in several ways... Go 25-30 years back, making Background Tables to create RQG PC's for play in RQ2/RQClassic era of Glorantha. Create other-culture backgrounds (I know these are coming, but they look to be quite a ways out...). Create Elder-Race Background tables (with similar detail to the humans (also likely to be coming; but AIUI even further out)). 1 Quote C'es ne pas un .sig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akhôrahil Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 We really need the GM book and the Cults book in order to make the rules-set complete (as well as the long-awaited rule-book errata). The rest is gravy. Nice gravy probably, but even so... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the second, I assume you're talking about new Homelands? For the third one, yes, Jason confirmed there will be full elder race character creation in an upcoming book. 1 Quote Ludovic aka Lordabdul -- read and listen to The God Learners , the Gloranthan podcast, newsletter, & blog !

That's a daft policy, quite frankly. Playable scenarios are much more useful, and additional rules material can be incorporated (as they did in the scenarios from the 80s with write-ups of cults and so on in the back). And because the Classic stuff is so old, a lot of people have played it already a long time ago - suggesting people play a 30 year old scenario while the developers fiddle with rules content (slowly) many may not use is bonkers. I appreciate that RQ isn't like other games, what with the history and so on, but you still need scenarios.

Austin Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 17 minutes ago, Aubrey the Malformed said: So is there any word on what might be next, and when? As far as I'm aware, scenarios are next. Two scenario packs have been discussed around here and elsewhere, "Smoking Ruins" and "Pegasus Plateau & Other Stories." The free adventure, "The Rattling Wind," is excerpted from the latter. I agree it's frustrating that in terms of official RQG releases this year, we've had one scenario. If you're looking for new content, at this time I'd suggest checking out the Jonstown Compendium (Tales of the Sun County Militia looks to me the strongest of the fan-created scenarios due to its new setting and backdrop in Sun County—but yes, there's a full scenario in it, and one I quite like—and could combine with some of that old Prax material somewhat well). I can't recall where this was, but I seem to remember some months back a comment by one of the devs hoping for a PDF release by Christmas. Now, if that was gonna happen I imagine we'd hear about it by now... Still, I suspect that we're sitting right on the edge of new scenarios. 1 Quote Jonstown Compendium author.
