Old school adventuring at its best. Plus it uses the original RuneQuest 2 rules, i.e., pretty much compatible with the BGB.

Or, indeed, 100% compatible with the D100II SRD!

I've got to admit that reading this book was a real nostalgia trip for me - it reminds me of why Glorantha was one of the best examples of a coherent campaign world in the early days of the hobby. Pavis has many of the hallmarks of old-school play, but it also maintains a sense of internal logic that many contemporary products could not beat. The whole thing feels very "grounded" compared to other products of a similar nature and a similar age.

[Guest Vile Traveller]

The Griselda stories by Oliver Dickinson did a lot to develop my view of Pavis. Probably my favourite published fantasy town in any setting.

Probably my favourite published fantasy town in any setting.

Ditto.
