AndreJarosch Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 (edited) Inspired by the map in "The Pegasus Plateau", and with the kind permission of Chaosium Inc., i made my own "Adventure Locations" maps. Map I. Adventure Locations in official RQG publications: Map II. Adventure Locations in Jonstown Compendium publications: Map III. Adventure Locations in official RuneQuest 2 and RuneQuest 3 publications (medium blue = RQ2 / dark blue = new in RQ3): Map IV. Adventure Locations in official HeroWars, HeroQuest, HeroQuest 2 and HeroQuest Glorantha publications (medium green = HW/HQ1 / light green = HQ2 / dark green = HQG): Edited November 12, 2021 by AndreJarosch 20 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsanford Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Absolutely beautiful. One of the nicest maps I have ever seen! Quote Check out our homebrew rules for freeform magic in BRP -> No reason for Ars Magica players to have all the fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sid Vicarious Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Great work, and very helpful. With 3 offical scenario products now published for RQG, what is the concensus regarding the chronology of the adventures in terms of running them all as a campaign? This excellent map certainly shows locations. Some scenarios have specific dates (The Smoking Ruin and The Pegasus Plateau scenarios occur within days of each other), but others do not. Taking difficulty into consideration, I wonder if the first scenario published, Defending Apple Lane, should be run third, after Cattle Raid and The Grey Crane. Then what? Not to mention the one-adventure-per-season idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndreJarosch Posted May 16, 2020 Author Share Posted May 16, 2020 (edited) I merged the maps of the official RQG adventures and the map of the JC adventures, so that you can make out easily which adventures of the official line are located near to the JC ones.

It's a useful illustration. I'd suggest a distinct background color to separate the official and the JC entries. Also the Quickstart blue type on red background is extremely difficult to read. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blindhamster Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 perhaps different colour circles and consistent white text would be better 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffilz Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Oh, gosh, this is what I was asking for a few weeks ago. Now would you consider adding the RQ Classic adventures? The RQ3 adventures? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreJarosch Posted May 19, 2020 Author Share Posted May 19, 2020 A third map with the locations of all official RQ2 and RQ3 adventures has been added. NO, i will not merge this with the RQG/JC maps. 3 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really shows how much the old RQ2/RQ3 worked at the fringes of civilization! Very focused on the River of Cradles. What I like with the recent releases is the expansion into Beast Valley, the Grazelands, and south of the Stream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My campaign kicked off at the start of 1626. I ran the Smoking Ruin in Sea Season (three sessions), the Dragon of Thunder Hills in Fire Season (three sessions), some one-session playtest adventures in Earth Season (a Praxian HeroQuest called The Flowers of Ronance by Doyle Wayne Ramos-Taverner) and Dark Season (a Namolding clan story called The Fainting Spirit by Jean-Christophe Cubertafon), and The Duel at Dangerford in Storm Season, followed by The Rattling Wind. We started Sea Season 1627 with another playtest (The Jonstown Palimpsest by David Larkins), and were one session into playtesting my next epic Hero Wars scenario, code named Black Spear, when the lockdown hit. Published scenario names are in bold; my Duel at Dangerford includes notes that might help you run the Smoking Ruin and Dragon... adventures.

Thanks for that map. 2 minutes ago, jajagappa said: Really shows how much the old RQ2/RQ3 worked at the fringes of civilization! Very focused on the River of Cradles. There is one scenario set in the Praxian Chaparral, at Horn Gate, and there are Apple Lane, the Rainbow Mounds, the Sazdorf Ruins and Snake Pipe Hollow in or near Sartar. Unless you count some of the encounters in Borderlands, which may be counted as mini-scenarios. The only other published RQ scenarios set in Sartar or the Chaparral themselves were from fanzines like RuneQuest Adventures, Tales, or Tradetalk/Free INT, or other such fan productions. There weren't that many, IIRC. I'm aware of one Sandy Petersen RQ3 scenario set in Sarro in Afadjann, in the AH house magazine Heroes, which might be regarded as semi-official, and which probably wins as the most distant RQ scenario from Pavis. We did get a few minor sandbox descriptions of places, like the Lismelder Lands, descriptions of the Jonstown confederation, or the oases of Prax distributed over various publications as system-less material. And of course Tarsh War. Quote Telling how it is excessive verbis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndreJarosch Posted May 19, 2020 Author Share Posted May 19, 2020 (edited) A fourth map with the locations of all official HeroWars, HQ1, HQ2 and HQG adventures has been added. Again: NO, i will not merge this with the other maps. I have no clue if i will make a "fan publication map". A lot of stuff published by fans is "off the map", and a lot of stuff has been published so close to each other that you wouldn´t be able to see anything on the map.

AndreJarosch Posted May 19, 2020 Author Share Posted May 19, 2020 (edited) With four maps up now i see a pattern: RQ1 to 3 was mostly about the River of Cradles region (1614-1622). HQ to HQG was/is mostly about Sartar (1618-1625). RQG is now takiing over Sartar from HQ, but moves it forward (1625-...).

ffilz Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Thanks for all of these. Very cool and helpful to understand where adventures are set. Locating all the pre-RQG fan scenarios would be cool, but clearly a lot of work and many of them aren't reasonably available. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g33k Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 (edited) <weeps quietly> So many amazing adventures that I clearly will never get to play... as I'm the only GM I know actually running RQ / Glorantha... (n.b. may possibly try to get into a VTT or similar game; but... there are separate logistical challenges with that, such that I don't think it would work.) edit: oh, by the way -- fabulous piece of work, TYVM @AndreJarosch!!!
