I have a lot of the Oriflam licensed product, including both Wargames and their RQ3 line. Some are in the shrink still. I can't read French so I can't say I've done more than look at all of the cool art they did for the books, which is mostly different from the art used in the US, UK, etc. Quote Hope that Helps,Rick Meints - Chaosium, Inc.

I have the French Hero Wars hardcovers (I'm missing a couple but currently hunting them down on eBay). It's interesting how different they are from the original books. I also backed the upcoming French RQG, so hopefully I'll be able to review the new material they're writing.

You cant download pdf's of the boards or counters lol. Buy as much in print official stuff from Multi man publishing, once it goes out of print the secondary market is brutal IE super expensive.

Back in the day it was a rite of passage to have to work the hot shrink-wrap machine in the Chaosium warehouse. Chaosium collated their boxed sets in house too. I do have a number of Call of Cthulhu boxed sets in the shrink, plus a number of other titles, but the only RQ boxed set I have in the shrink is the first printing of the RQ thick box. I can still remember taking the shrink wrap off of the RQ boxed supplements when I bought them in the 1980s... 1 Quote Hope that Helps,Rick Meints - Chaosium, Inc.

I have three of the titles they published back in the early 1990s. The only titles I know they did are: 3001 1991 RuneQuest Collector’s Edition (HC)3002 1991 RuneQuest 1992 Das Kreaturenbuch 3040 1993 Die Gotter 3050 1993 Apfelallee 1000 1994 Schatten in den Hugeln I'd love to know if they did more books.

Welkin Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 (edited) In my experience, Chaosium’s books are competitively priced for the quality. I was surprised to find they are $5-$10 lower than my mental model of how much they should cost. My favorite features are the lay-flat binding and bookmark ribbon, which I hope will remain regardless of the printer. I am wary of printers in Lithuania since my experience with another company who prints there (Fria Ligan) has been abysmal. Extreme off-gassing enough to force me to discard the books, and rough, uncomfortable paper and covers.

They also had a 4-panel, A4 portrait format GM screen (6 pages of rules, 2 cover pages w/ artwork). Article #3010, ISBN 3-927903-08-6. Made from thin plastic. It served as a cover for the 32-page b/w booklet of „RuneQuest Freunde und Feinde — Das Kreaturenbuch II“ (lit.trans.: RuneQuest Friends and Foes — The Creatures Book II), which came enclosed within. Article #3032, ISBN 3-927903-32-9; (c) of the translation and German edition 1992 by Welt der Spiele. This was a translation of „Monster Coliseum: Monster Book“, by Steve Perrin and Sandy Petersen. Translated by our own magister ludi Lutz Reimers, of course. Edited March 7, 2020 by foolcat Made a photo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
