TrvShane Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Hey folks, Has anyone had any experience using a Cortex Prime build for playing Glorantha? Specifically any conversion work of the RQG stuff? I'm currently running a RQ game and the system just isn't doing what I want it to in terms of showcasing the setting and character elements I enjoy, so I am looking for other options. I am new to but like what I have played of Cortex (the way it handles distinctions could really do what i want out of a Glorantha game), so was wondering if anyone lese has trodden the path and has any advice? Thanks, Shane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mugen Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 It seems the answer is no. 😞 You could perhaps find answers on a forum with less focus on Basic Roleplaying and more experience on Cortex. I have very little experience with Cortex myself, so I can't really help you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrvShane Posted January 29 Author Share Posted January 29 Yep, I get the same impression. I’ve taken the question to the Cortex Reddit so far with some engagement. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g33k Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I guess it's also worth checking if you have tried the game formerly called "Hero Wars" & "HeroQuest" ... it's more narratively focused, less crunchy/simulationist, than the RQ ruleset. It had 2 Gloranthan editions, and a general-use / non-setting-specific one. It's out of print, as Chaosium sold the name (but not the RPG) to AvalonHill/Hasbro (and the "Heroquest" boardgame is now available from them). Chaosium's HW/HQ ruleset has been renamed QuestWorld, and is available as a free SRD (on github, I think). Chaosium is working on the print edition; an announcement is coming soon. The used aftermarket still has the older print copied showing up, occasionally; and of course you can grab the SRD right away... AIUI, the SRD is going setting-agnostic again, with a Gloranthan resource-pack / expansion planned to follow shortly; the fan community should be able to help you with any needed Gloranthafications of the generic rules from the SRD.

TrvShane Posted January 29 Author Share Posted January 29 Hi G33k, I have, thank you. In fact, I have just recently sold my hardcopy as part of a hard copy downsize. I really liked the way it was presented, but part of the reason I’m looking at cortex is that it is a really interesting mix of narrative and tactical. HeroQuest is just not tactical enough. I guess I am looking for my Goldilocks sweet spot. I appreciate your input, thank you. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
