Thunder Brother Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 (edited) p127 "The Earthshaker provides her niece with Blast Earth." "niece" should be "aunt", yes? As it's referring to Ty Kora Tek. Also a possible discrepancy between The Light Bringers and the Earth Goddesses: is Voria the daughter of Ernalda and Orlanth or Ernalda and Yelm, or is it up for interpretation?

peterb Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Earth Goddesses On page 30 (Aldrya). Second column: "This time, though, the native Aldryami were under the protection of the local humans. Examples of this phenomena are the Gardens of Carresh, in the Lunar Empire, and in Old Prax, where the garden eventually outgrew its old beds when the city fell to ruin." Old Prax? Shouldn't it be "Old Pavis"? 1 Quote Peter Brink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akhôrahil Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 (edited) Does the ”Mineral Lore” box serve a purpose, given that the skill is already in the Core rules? Was it supposed to update it in some way, or was it just something that slipped through editing?

brionl Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Not a typo, but meta-data errors. The title field in the PDF for both of them has "Cults of Glorantha [2 or 3]", and has "The Lightbringers" or "The Earth Goddesses" in the author field. It would be nice to have the ISBN, and publisher info too, but I don't know if those are standard fields or something that Calibre adds in. The Prosopaedia has sort of the same error. The title is correct, but it says "The Prosopaedia" in the author field. Also, The Prosopaedia isn't listed in the RuneQuest:RPiG sub-section on the DriveThruRPG website. But that's probably a site configuration problem, not a problem with the actual file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metcalph Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Quote Major temples are hard to find. Normally only regions of dense population and indolent peace can afford the number of initiates willing to put their primary belief into the Love Goddess. Almost all in existence are in large cities or similar centers of population, although a few unusual exceptions exist, such as in the rural hamlet of Dragon Pass or the famed temple deep in the Rockwoods. p130 Suggest replacing Dragon Pass with Apple Lane. Dunno where the Rockwoods Temple is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Mohrfield Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Page 37: “Special Notes: When checking for divine intervention, a Gardener rolls 1D10 instead of 1D100” should appear after the Requirements for Acceptance section, assuming this has not changed from the RQ Bestiary.

Mark Mohrfield Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Page 37: the first sentence under Requirements for acceptance for Gardeners reads “Candidates for the Council of Gardeners may be an awakened tree, Elder Sister, or Wood Lord and must have served in that function for at least twenty years.” The last sentence in the same section reads “The candidate must be a known leader and able to pass an extremely difficult test, abstracted as POW+ number of years spent as an awakened tree, shaman, Elder Sister, or Wood Lord on D100.” Are shamans eligible to become Garderners, or are they not?

Mark Mohrfield Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 (edited) O Pages 35-36: It seems unclear as to whether the Elder Sister subculture meant to correspond to the status of Initiate, God-Talker, or Rune Priest. P.S. The same also applies to Shamans of Aldrya. Edited August 21, 2023 by Mark Mohrfield Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metcalph Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 On page 40, the Elf Story has two subheadings "The First Plantings" and "The Second Plantings". On page 41, it's just "The Third Planting". Consider making the third heading a plural. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scornado Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Caladra and Aurelion - p59 - Lay Membership. Should the Requirements to Join as a Lay member be sacrifice of Magic Points rather than Power on holy days? Requiring POW of lay members seems a bit extreme.
