jajagappa Posted December 27, 2022 Author Share Posted December 27, 2022 I've written other works both for real-life and for Glorantha. This one, though, felt like a true heroquest (labors of Hercules, ...). The stars aligned , the Red Moon provided illumination , the creative stuff was gathered from the Chaosium , the dwarfs adjusted the World Machine , Lhankor Mhy and Irrippi Onto added their guidance , and the Gates of Dawn were at last opened to release Edge of Empire to the larger Gloranthan community . It's not all, but it's the foundation. Hopefully those who have a chance to read will enjoy it. 🙂 Any errors or issues are my own - for those of you who add it to your libraries, please let me know if you have any comments or feedback. Ratings and reviews on DTRPG are appreciated! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Farrell Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 I just bought and flipped through this and it looks like everything I could have hoped for. This book is absolutely bursting with flavorful details. I love books that blend mechanical additions (like the in-depth character backgrounds and new spells) with information about Glorantha, from the broadly historical to the fascinatingly specfic (there are a good 3 pages on cheeses!). The visual presentation is very pleasing as well. I would buy a virtually unlimited number of books of this kind of breadth, depth, quality and care. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Ratings and/or Reviews at DTRPG are greatly appreciated, too. 🙂 ) I'm glad to hear you like the mix and the presentation. My hope is that the little details will help players and GMs give the setting a "life" beyond just the mechanical stats. And I hope you enjoy as you explore further! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jajagappa Posted January 9, 2023 Author Share Posted January 9, 2023 (edited) If you've not yet had an opportunity to pick up Edge of Empire, a completely new Homeland set in the Lunar Provincial Kingdom of Imther, check it out! (And you might be the one to push it into Silver Bestseller status, too, triggering some planned bonus content!) https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/421314/Edge-of-Empire?affiliate_id=281511 Edge of Empire is a complete 200+ page Homeland set in the Lunar Provincial Kingdom of Imther now available in the Jonstown Compendium. For Players: full character background, clan creation, new local cults and spells, customs and common knowledge, plus myths and tales to immerse you in this land of herders, hunters, cheesemakers who readily blend Lunar, Solar, Storm, and Earth together. For GMs: background on the kingdom and clans, trade, flora and fauna, recent history, events and encounters (including dwarfs!), rumors and legends, the citadel of Hilltown, and an in-world Lunar survey of the land. Immediately adjacent to Balazar for those looking to extend campaigns to or from there. Copper Bestseller, ten 5-Star ratings "A highly useful source of a new area for gaming. Now debating how to get my gaming crew up there. Be sure to get this one!" (Sven L) "This book is bursting with life. A fantastic resource … it rips away the glossy veneer and exposes the messy reality of people, clans and tribes and the bickering, politicking and warring within." (Rob N) "This book is one I've been anticipating for years, and I was not disappointed...."

For the most part, I see the various cheese secrets as craft-related (skills passed down through the clan over the ages), or based on specific spirits which the clan has allied. Doesn't exclude the possibility of additional magics (particularly enchantments), though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jajagappa Posted January 14, 2023 Author Share Posted January 14, 2023 2 hours ago, Qizilbashwoman said: Is the cheese god part of the Wind pantheon Well, as the story goes, it's the Goat Mother who largely gifted humans with cheese, though somewhat courtesy of a failed Trickster spell. So, no, not directly tied to the Wind pantheon. But Orlantio the Trickster Wind certainly causes other problems! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jajagappa Posted January 14, 2023 Author Share Posted January 14, 2023 Also, for those who've already acquired Edge of Empire (as well as those of you who might!) you should now find a Silver Bonus file in your DTRPG library - 18 pages on the Earthwielder and his companions providing additional encounters for GM's or an alternate patron for adventurers drawn from my original Imther campaign. Hope you enjoy! 🙂 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did a song called Wet Cheese Delirium, for years I've thought it should be turned into some kind of spell 😄 Anyway enough with the cheese derailment of the thread, I'll let things return to their proper place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowglass Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 I finally finished reading it, it’s amazingly good! If I had to sum it all up in a sentence, it would be- “This kingdom has a lot of problems, but at least we can all agree that we hate the Vanchites.” 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's well known throughout the Lunar Provinces, so everyone can find at least one common thread (except, of course, for the Vanchites themselves, but it is what it is).
