The fact it was initially based on Glorantha makes me want to read it. The fact it has moved away from Glorantha makes me hesitate. Is it any good. I found it readable if a little formulaic. From memory it's structurally a travelogue, once you get past the first chapter or two. And as I said, the setting is very obviously Glorantha, specifically Prax, you get to visit all of the major sites, and it's very obvious which is which. In fact I was so distracted by this element that I did largely forget to pay attention to the narrative! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The devs, Black Shamrock, website is just as tight lipped. WHAT? That's amazing! Can you please indicate where can I get some info on it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have missed that.... Can you tell me more about it? Is it a future Chaosium product? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, a future product that Jeff has noted. I don't have more details to share though. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I had a lot of fun reading The Widow's Tale. 👈 Sadly, it is out of print. I bought the last copy the author had at RQ Con DU in 2018. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But I'm not sure the Guide is the right product, for the details they want to see... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dissolv 357 Posted September 12 Report Share Posted September 12 For day to day life sorts of things, I would recommend the comic: Age of Bronze, by Eric Shanower. It is the Trojan war, and is unfinished (after a decade!), but the first volume or two will accomplish the task of understanding life in a Bronze age world, complete with rituals, kings, passions, and trials. http://www.age-of-bronze.com/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
