Rojo Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Ok, one question. The pdf costs 18’99 $, but later is added 1’66 $ as taxes? I don’t remember paying taxes for pdfs before. Is there something new? Will that 1’66 $ be included in the coupon for the printed version? I will buy the pdf one way or the other, but I like to know what’s happening in this kind of situations. Thanks a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldenwheeldancer Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 (edited) Is the preview "map" of the ruins the only map of them in the book? Or is there a more detailed top-down map? Edit: Just to clarify I do LOVE that map but just wondered if there was a more detailed map.

Dragonsnail Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Great, new RQG material! Perfect as a present to myself. : ) The maps again looks fantastic, kudos to Olivier. You can preview the South Wilds area map in the "See 11 more pictures" slideshow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should we follow this up, being Canadian I acrtually like to pay taes, but I would much prefer to pay Canadian taxes. Any idea where which Caesar is getting out shekels for their nations taxes/pockets? Can we get them back please? Should we be following this up with @Dustin O'Chaosium intead of bothering you good sir? Thank you very much in advance MOB!

I wouldn't worry about it, Bill. Haven't we already annexed you guys? If we haven't annexed the Northern Territories yet, we prob'ly will after the next election cycle... your boy Trudeau isn't very good at brown-nosing Herr Drumpf.

goldenwheeldancer Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 So I will assume that that is the only map of the Smoking Ruin. I'm envisioning a "Big Rubble Treatment" to the ruins? So a broad stroke overview with focuses on specific locations through scenarios? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zagmuk Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Very nice supplement. Love the maps. A request: It would be nice to have the hand-out maps without annotations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jps Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 (edited) I'm still reading it but I'm amazed at how you captured the mood of Glorantha. Each time you put an emphasis on Gloranthan specificities and we lean new ways to bring this world to life the way Greg envisonned it.

Greetings and welcome to BRP Zagmuk, good call! Having seen the maps of The One Ring all being done twice (as far as I call tell, all not an orlanthi all), once as Players and once as lore masters.

So even if Headquarters has moved (though what an "Headquarters" even IS, in a distributed operation like the Chaosium now is seems a bit... abstract...) there's still some legalities to be observed.

Thanks MOB a little more digging shows the error as occurring after the Chaosium. I appreciate the speed of your answer! Cheers 1 Quote ... remember, with a TARDIS, one is never late for breakfast!
