SDLeary Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 ARGH! 10 different volumes?! Perhaps I'll stick with CoP and the Guide and roll my own. Why can they spend that kind effort on the faiths, and not actually introduce us to the cultures that embrace those faiths? In fact, I'd much rather have rich regional guidebooks that talk about the culture, faiths they worship, and how they vary from other areas if they are the same or similar deity.

Joerg Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Slightly unexpected name, though: "Cults of RuneQuest" rather than "Cults of Glorantha". 5 hours ago, SDLeary said: ARGH! 10 different volumes?! Perhaps I'll stick with CoP and the Guide and roll my own. The Red Book of Magic gives you most (possibly all) of the spells, so no biggie in terms of game design. 5 hours ago, SDLeary said: Why can they spend that kind effort on the faiths, and not actually introduce us to the cultures that embrace those faiths?

I want those as well, and I can live with scenario books providing some local information to satisfy people's cries for scenarios (in print, rather than in pdf). However, the rather tight focus on greater Dragon Pass and maybe Saird for the forseeable future (before my pension age, in slightly less than nine years) makes books on other regions rather unlikely within that time-frame. I'd also love to see Pedro Ziviani's Mythic Iceland for RuneQuest and its continental corrolaries kick off. 1 Quote Telling how it is excessive verbis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are of an age, and have the same concerns sir! SDLeary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that as well, but as it's game-system specific it makes sense to highlight that. I think it works for brand identity as well. More people know what "RuneQuest" is than "Glorantha".
