Rick Meints Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 We haven't decided on the exact number of books the Gods of Glorantha manuscript will be divided into, but it could end up being two or three books, each around 200-350 pages each. We try to keep book page counts to 256 pages or less. Very large books suffer from spine fatigue/failure. We tend to price a 256 page book at $45. As for having it all in a slipcase, that is the general intent, although the GoG volumes will almost certainly be sold separately too. They will be divided thematically. 7 4 Quote Hope that Helps,Rick Meints - Chaosium, Inc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Living up to your .sig (as usual). Vol's I & II (and III if it rolls out at part of the 100-Gods list Jeff has previously presented) will certainly be must-buy volumes for me!

Back in the ancient days when Form/Set was a wondrous sorcery, I saw someone form a volcanic flame into a sword and set it for a vast period using all the Extension points he could muster.

Rick Meints Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 We almost always sell the PDF version of a printed book about 3 months before the printed version is available. Gods of Glorantha will not be an exception to that approach. 4 Quote Hope that Helps,Rick Meints - Chaosium, Inc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holy good gods! That's almost absurd overkill......or completionist! Sometimes I forget that this is a setting as much as a game background. However all the various cults will help tons Gm'ing areas other than Sartar and Pavis/Prax. Just be sure to include some type of regionality and popularity as a guide. Sheesh!

GAZZA Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 I dunno, I'm wondering how many extra mortgages I'm going to have to take on the house to buy 3 volumes of gods when all I really want is Hero Quest rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
