Gamesmeister Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Can I also say just how much I love the cover artwork of this book. In fact, the quality of artwork in the RiG books in general has been outstanding, hat's off to you guys for this. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordabdul Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 @Jason Durall are there going to be updates to both books to have more detailed credits? I think this is often useful for following authors, doing Gloranthan archeology, etc. Thanks!

The Red Cow Campaign is a current HQG campaign, published after the G2G. I would assume that the first book, The Coming Storm, is part of the contemporary canon for Glorantha... Some of the artwork (not all) in the second book, The Elven Lights, looks more consistent with the previous Saxon-like depictions of Orlanthi (like in the KoDP computer game), rather than the more contemporary Thracian look, but that's about it. YGWV and all that. I would be surprised if the content is not current canon.

YGWV and all that. I would be surprised if the content is not current canon. It's absolutely Canon for HQG. However RQG is not HQC and the two are not in sync. It's been explicitly stated that the sources for RQG are published RQG works plus the Sourcebook and Guide Slipcase. The events and runes and cults described for HQG/HW/HQ are not for RQG. RQG does not pickup from where HQG left off not least because HQG aint done yet and will progress. Kallyr dies at the Battle of the Queens, in RQG unless you wanna change that in your game. A whole bunch of runes dont exist in RQG unless you wanna change that in your game. A whole bunch of towns and cities mapped in HQ/HW/HQG will have be different in RQG unless you wanna change that in your game. Gunda the Guilty is different in RQG unless you wanna change that in your game. I mean your free to use those sources and YGMV. But dont expect The Coming Storm or Thunder Rebels et al to be used as canon in RQG. At least that's how I understand it. I speak now as a fellow fan. I have written for but am not of Chaosium. However Jason and Jeff have been pretty clear on this "RQG is its own line, a new interpretation of the setting based on prior versions but also incorporating previous unpublished materials from Greg and based on lengthy discussions with Greg and Jeff. Anyone expecting RQG and HQG to be completely synchronous will be sorely disappointed. " on t'other thread from Jason 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been waiting for the printing, to do a re-read, and to play at least one adventure before a full review. The time between publication and printing is why I just started off with a first impressions article for The Pegasus Plateau. Quote Jonstown Compendium author. Find my publications here.

It's The Guide, The Sourcebook set and whats been published for RQG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
