Rick Meints Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 FedEx delivered two boxes an hour or so ago. Please note that some of these items are the final printed versions, like the box itself, while others are printed on simpler paper, sometimes untrimmed with color matching swatches on the edges, and sometimes they have printer proof comments written on them. Everything is looking lovely and of high quality. The set will weigh over 3lbs. 8 oz. (about 1.5 kg). Please, no "what's with the weird white border" comments. That's what "untrimmed" means... 19 5 Quote Hope that Helps,Rick Meints - Chaosium, Inc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda reminds me of the pictures of the gods in the Cults part of the rulebook and on the Sourcebook but also to Kleios Canvas' style. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psullie Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 I love the 'What's not in the box' panel on the back of the box. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That art is by the brilliant Katrin Dirim, whose ID on DeviantArt and Twitter is KleiosCanvas. It’s all kinds of wonderful that her work will be published by Chaosium. 5 1 Quote Community Ambassador - Jonstown Compendium, Chaosium, Inc.

Runeblogger Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Do the 3 dragon-like monsters next to the Myth & History section represent the Unholy Trio? Is the guy on a skeletal steed Jaldon? Are the two defeated gods next to Castle Blue on the opposite piece of art Yelm and Kyger Litor?

Look more like the Red, Blue, and Black Dragons, perhaps coming to defend their nest site in Dragon Pass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The middle dragon appears to be the Sun Dragon - look at all the regalia it is wearing. The main color is golden, and the blue matches that of the Dara Happan forces in the True Golden Horde. I like the depiction of the Obsidian Palace in that image. 1 Quote Telling how it is excessive verbis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadDomain Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Looking good. It is shaping up to be an even better starter set than CoC! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brionl Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 If I buy a copy from my FLN Game Store, is there a coupon for a discount on the PDF or anything like that? Looks good though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As with all Chaosium books, if you buy it from a friendly local game store that participates in the Bits and Mortar scheme, the store will send you a free PDF of your purchase on request. 1 Quote Community Ambassador - Jonstown Compendium, Chaosium, Inc.

Well, according to the Website, Black Diamond Games in Concord, CA is a participant. I'll have to check back with them when it comes out. I've been accumulating game stuff for 45+ years now. Almost all of my purchases are ebooks these days because I don't have much room for anything else. I'll make room for this one though. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid a bod yn dwp Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 I just love the look of this Starter set. Cover choice for the box is just gorgeous! That’s a lovely painting. Really captures and updates the vibe of RQ2. You’ve absolutely nailed it! 👏 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
