2023 was a huge year for the Jonstown Compendium!

Congratulations Jonstown Compendium creators for RuneQuest and Greg Stafford's world of Glorantha!

Since the program commenced in December 2019 there have been some 349 independently-created titles added at DriveThruRPG, or an average of seven new titles every month!

And in October 2023 a highly significant milestone was achieved, with over 50,000 titles sold! This year alone, more than 80 new titles have been added!

Highlights of this extraordinary program include:

• regularly topping the best seller lists at DriveThruRPG;
• received critical praise from reviewers and customers alike;
• winning several ENNIE and other awards;
• the creation of a dedicated Storytelling Collective stream for first-time RuneQuest creators;
• promoting new releases in the Chaosium blog's regular Journey to Jonstown series, as well as promotion on BRP Central, EN World and RPGNet;
• selling out at pop-up stores at conventions Chaosium attends including UK Games Expo, Dragonmeet, PAX Australia, and of course, Chaosium Con;
• serving as a stepping stone to further work as a professional in the TTRPG industry, a prime example being Greg Stafford Memorial Award winner Katrin Dirim whose art graces the 2023 RuneQuest release The Prosopaedia;
• and, most importantly of all, helping foster a growing and dynamic community of independent creators, each exploring Greg Stafford's mythic universe in their own way, yet strongly supportive of each other in such groups as the Jonstown Compendium Creative Circle.

Here's to 2024: we can't wait to see what you create!

— from all the team at Chaosium.

The Jonstown Compendium is where you can find —and create —self-published material for your roleplaying in Glorantha with content for RuneQuest, along with the QuestWorlds, and 13th Age Glorantha systems.

Remember you like what you see in the Jonstown Compendium, remember to give the creators a star rating or even a review!
