Burning Engines — Monster of the Month #23

[Austin]

November's issue of #MOTM is now available!

Maybe check it out if you're taking advantage of Black Friday discounts? 🤔

Burning Engines are a rare and dangerous protector of dwarven catacombs. Mostali technicians bind spirits of fire within lifeless hulks of metal, creating immortal guardians capable of roasting pesky adventurers. This RuneQuest supplement describes three "species" of burning engine, new sorcery spells for Lhankor Mhy adventurers to command a burning engine of their own, and an adventure seed which pits players against a fallen star driven mad by The Dwarf with the pain of its binding.

About this Series: Monster of the Month is a series of new bestiary entries for Chaosium's RuneQuest: Roleplaying in Glorantha. In addition to statblocks and behavior, most entries will include supplemental detail and advice for gamemasters and/or new adventurer options for players.

This one's a little on the lighter side, because my co-conspirators and I are hard at work on producing an extra-large series finale next month. It's gonna include a longform cult, the description of the Temple of the Bones within the Old Woods north of Esrolia, and a full-length adventure using that setting. I plan to share more - and hopefully some art, too! - next Friday.
