TrvShane Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 This is my favourite of the covers so far. It's nicely grounded in the world and really pulls me in. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you got it from DriveThru, it’s automatically updated at the server end, either in your onebookshelf app (get it, it’s great!) and synching, or by downloading it again from the store.

Steve Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 (edited) Spot the problem here: Two versions of the Weapons & Equipment PDF, one I downloaded in December, and another one that I downloaded today. It seems it was updated during January, but my order details at chaosium.com label the last update to my order as 10 Dec 2021. Yet when I download the PDF now it's the new January 2022 version. Page 61 of the December version used to show a "Spiked Staff" above the Maul, as posted out by someone else here in a now-hidden post in the Q&A thread. In the January version, the title of this item has been corrected to "Two-handed mace", as well as the "Troll maul" changing to "Troll-made maul". Just pointing out that there seems to be a version numbering issue here, and possibly an issue updating the orders list (the date normally changes when a newer PDF is uploaded IIRC). Some people here might be lacking this latest update. Edited February 28, 2022 by Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlantean Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Finally had my copy printed out with high quality glossy print and bound at the printers. Absolutely fantastic addition to the rules set! Filled some large gaps in game mechanics and now I won’t have to sift through multiple versions during games anymore. Well done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOB Posted May 14, 2022 Author Share Posted May 14, 2022 Our Polish printer has sent over an advance copy of RuneQuest: Weapons & Equipment — looking good! Remember, the PDF version is available now; get the cost of the PDF off your purchase of the 128 page full color hardback when it is out, mid year! 3 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svensson Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Looking very forward to my dead tree version. RQWE has been a very valuable addition to my game group even as a pdf, but I've found that most gamers at the table still prefer physical references to hand around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squaredeal Sten Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 I wonder how printing is going. Or whether that proof copy was acceptable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soccercalle Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 This means a lag of 7 months between pdf and physical copy. Does that mean that none of the products that were promised in January will be released thias year? (Based on the new policy on no more pdf-first releases.)

While I am interested by the answer, please keep in mind that Chaosium has not promised anything, nor could they since they do not control all the variables. They gave us vague ETAs that I am sure they would like to meet as much as we do. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurking Grue Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 There was some errata back in the day regarding the Metals of Acos (p. 13), as far as I know. However, at least the v1.01 (Jan 2022) PDF I downloaded yesterday still has some errors, IMHO. In the illustrations, "lo-metal" is mentioned twice and there is no "ur-metal" at all. I suspect, the metals I've circled in the attached image, the orange-brown ones, are in fact bronze, i.e. hu-metal, and the sword isn't bronze/hu-metal but iron/ur-metal instead. At least that's how I'm interpreting the illustrations. If this is in fact a correct interpretation, then note this for future errata.

The circled illustrations on the left include clacks (square coins) so seem to be copper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least that's how I'm interpreting the illustrations. If this is in fact a correct interpretation, then note this for future errata. I don't think so. According to the text description Lo-metal is the metal of Lodril, and its red in color, like fire. So this description matches perfectly the display of Lo-metal, that's circled in the illustration. And according to the text description Hu-metal is a cross between Gata’s and Zrethus’, i.e. between Ga-metal (copper) and Ze-metal (tin). The color of the Hu-metal sword matches this description from my point of view. But you're right, Lo-metal appears two times in this illustration, but I'm more inclined to say the circlet in the lower right corner is in fact Ul-metal (silver), which according to the text description is white in color, whereas the illustration titled Ul-metal is Ur-metal (Iron) in fact. But the coins displayed in the illustration (if these are coins in all cases) again do not match these descriptions ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jajagappa Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 24 minutes ago, Oracle said: Lo-metal appears two times in this illustration Remember that Lo-metal has two forms: quicksilver and aluminum. (And the item to lower right would fit the latter.) It is possible though that the red metal called lo-metal should really be ga-metal (hence the clacks).
