AlHazred Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Has anyone made a list of all the various cults and subcults published for Hero Wars/HeroQuest/QuestWorlds, and where they were published?

JonL Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 I believe the latest Meints Index edition contains a master list of cults etc that cites where they're published. It has both RQ & HQ references, but it's probably your best bet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed that it doesn't have any of the stuff from TradeTalk or Ye Booke of Tentacles or most other 'zines, though.

Were there any HW/HQ cults in any other zines? I can't remember Tradetalk having any, but I haven't read them for a long time. Ye Book of Tentacles had the Pavis cults, I think so they might be there. 1 Quote Simon Phipp - Caldmore Chameleon - Wallowing in my elitism since 1982. Many Systems, One Family.

I initially asked my question because I came across the Uleria HW/HQ cult in (I think) #16 and it occurred to me to see if I could find a listing.

JonL Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 (edited) Note that Simon's reference doesn't go as far forward as the HQ2/G era works. Nonetheless, the earlier era is a much bigger job, and awesome that he did it. If you're open to fan works as well, search for The Brown Book of Zzabur. That blog has got a lot of great HQG style write ups for cults that Chaosium & Moon Design never got around to before their focus pivoted to RQ. Also, the Carpenters' Valley of Plenty on the JC has some sweet regional variations on Elmal, Redalda, and allied figures that are worth a look. Any other late HQ resources I'm missing?
