Runeblogger Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 So this weekend an improvised virtual con consisting of panels to talk about Gloranthan and non-Gloranthan topics was advertised and organised on Facebook and conducted on Discord. And I missed it completely 😫 even though I had been forewarned! So, if you managed to attend, would you mind sharing what interestings bits you learned from it? ☺️ (pretty please?) 3 Quote Read my Runeblog about RuneQuest and Glorantha at: http://elruneblog.blogspot.com.es/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psullie Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 It was a fun post-con bar chat event so topics ran wild. From a RQ view there are lots of books and box sets in the pipe inc the Starter Box Set, the Sartar Box set (yes that is confusing), plus the gods book and GMs guide. There are also a bunch of scenario packs but these won't see print until 2022 (manuscripts are mostly done it's just about prioritising the core set first). White Bear Red Moon and Nomad Gods are to get a re-release too! And there was this: I'll let Jeff explain... 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormwalker Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 (edited) I don't know what's already known, but what I learned (and I could be wrong, because JD and coke) ... Sartar is a Box Set Jason ran off a list of things being worked on and I didn't catch them all Dragon Pass and Nomad Gods update/reissue confirmed. Some interesting Malkioni stuff such as the lower castes don't actually use sorcery - Spirit/Rune is fine, hence the reason Sorcery is the way it is (I think I kind of knew this but this was a good clarification). Rick has waaaay too many full bookshelves of stuff. Like all the stuff. Edited January 10, 2021 by Stormwalker 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormwalker Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 From what was said it's basically the same game, with some rules clean-up and great art - hexes are not going anywhere. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beoferret Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Did anyone catch how far along (roughly) various RQ projects are in the pipeline? Any art previews available for us to salivate over? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any art previews available for us to salivate over? I respect and understand that people are often super duper keen to know WHEN stuff is likely to be published, but we have tried to very much not yield to that temptation any more in regards to providing "guesstimates" for when things will be up for sale. To cut to the chase, even saying that a manuscript is 90% complete can be very misleading. We are happy to talk about things that are being worked on, and happy to show off recent progress or confess to delays, but we are largely out of the business of answering "when" questions until a product has gone to final layout and an actual realistic and fairly estimable release date is in sight. I apologize for sounding insensitive to anyone's desires, but "how far along" a project is is not something that we can quantify and assign a date for completion. Even if you think we should, could, or would be able to do that, that's just not the case. As for art previews, we regularly post those on Facebook, often on a weekly or more frequent basis. 5 2 Quote Hope that Helps,Rick Meints - Chaosium, Inc.

Totally understood, Rick. Not trying to be a pain in the ass (honestly.) It is exciting to know that there are a bunch of products in the official pipeline; it also has the nice corollary that RQG must be doing well product-wise or else so much new material wouldn't be in production. I have seen some of the GoG art previews and maps that Jeff has shared, I'm just pretty dang eager to get a taste of some of the other stuff. I will indeed happily cop to being "super duper keen" 😁!

Yes, and this was confirmed at Impromptu Con, the grand old Chaosium tradition of "Coming next year..." is no more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psullie Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 From what I gathered there is a desire to have some additional core books out this year; the God's book for example. Only once we see these are we likely to see any expansion to other areas. Think of it like Strike Ranks and you'll be okay 😄 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having lived in Jasper (read: goddess's country) for half my adult life and only having a few pics (how, what, why... man why) I like the transience of the experience of life. Even then I suppose I know why some want the pics... 1 Quote ... remember, with a TARDIS, one is never late for breakfast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
