metcalph Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Looking through the Book The genealogical tables for many of the ruling houses have been changed from a powerpoint presentation to actual coins of the rulers. There's a piccie in the Xeotam dialogues. The sketch map of the Gloranthan Underworld has been replaced by the Cosmology of Glorantha that was in Cults of RuneQuest: Mythology. A map of Golden Age Glorantha has been replaced by a Map of the same period from the Guide to Glorantha. The same is true for the maps of the Storm Age and Great Darkness. 8 5 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moragion Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Thanks for the info! I bought the sourcebook last year, so... Will probably buy the pdf at some point in the future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Thanks Metcalph, this is helpful. Looks like I probably don't need a copy of the new edition. Still, I'm glad Chaosium's making sure it's available in print for new customers. 4 Quote Jonstown Compendium author. Find my publications here. Disclaimer: affiliate link.

Make the title easier to find in online shops (i tried some online shops and searched for "RuneQuest" and this book didn´t came up... but they had it in their shop, it just wasn´t connected to "RuneQuest" et all).

Nick Brooke Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 I ran a PDF comparison and found just ten "significant" textual edits in the first forty or so pages. One was a new typo, one was an odd edit, two changed name-forms, and six reordered or tightened-up existing wording. Spoiler The Beastmen => The Beast Men (passim) The crippled Pure Horse Tribe => The crippled Pure Horse Tribe0 [typo] ...his uncle, the Great Horse. => the Great Horse, his uncle.

Tatterdemalion Fox Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 (edited) Quick question for anyone who has the new printing. Gods of the Lunar Way, list of the Seven Mothers, pg. 148-149 in the first printing: which lunar phases are Deezola and Jakaleel associated with?

Note that in contradiction to the above, The Lunar Way has Jakaleel as Crescent-Go Moon, and Deezola as Dying Moon, both in the Seven Mothers write-up, and in their own chapters. 1 1 Quote -- The Winter King | An Unofficial Buyer's Guide to RuneQuest and Glorantha | The Voralans | The Children of Hykim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatterdemalion Fox Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 You successfully puzzled out my motive in asking! I was discussing Deezola last night and had a moment where I pulled out both Sourcebook and the Lunar Way to cross-reference. 1 Quote YGWV The Mianmo Archives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfbrandi Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 12 hours ago, metcalph said: Jakaleel is the Dying Moon and Deezola is the Crescent Go Moon And this agrees with the Prosopaedia and with the old (non-canon ILH #2) HeroQuest glyphs linking Deezola with Lesilla (crescent-go) and Jakaleel with Gerra (dying). Maybe it is some kind of spindle/knitting mix-up. Perhaps it is a new heresy — a new goddess swap! Quote NOTORIOUS VØID CULTIST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metcalph Posted April 27 Author Share Posted April 27 When I was spitballing some ideas for Lunar Magic for HeroQuest, I did have the idea that a Lunar would be defined by the cult *and* the phase of the Moon. Thus a Dying Yanafali would look very different to a Full Half Yanafali. Nothing much came of it. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Brooke Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 (edited) I think this change (and it was a conscious change, before the typo-theorists start up) was motivated by (a) the desire to have Queen Deezola more strongly associated with Gerra, the ancient Black Moon goddess of suffering, (b) the obvious associations between Jakaleel the Witch, the troll-haunted Blue Moon Plateau, the lost city of Mernita, and therefore Lesilla/Cerullia, the ancient Blue Moon Goddess who is linked to the Crescent-Going phase of the moon, and (c) the common-sense association between Jakaleeli Witches, the horns of the crescent moon, and sickles used to slice bits off naughty children who ask irritating questions.

Nick Brooke Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 In my Glorantha (and Your Glorantha Will Vary), the Seven Mothers can sometimes be associated with transitions between phase-states, rather than the phases themselves. Teelo Norri is Full => Full Half (Verithurusa), Jakaleel is Full Half => Crescent Going (Lesilla), Deezola is Crescent Going => Dying (Gerra), and so on and so forth.

I think the map in question (showing Eronela) has been eliminated, and replace with the map from page 22 of Mythology. 1 1 Quote -- The Winter King | An Unofficial Buyer's Guide to RuneQuest and Glorantha | The Voralans | The Children of Hykim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oracle Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 There is kind of an editorial glitch in the new version of the Sourcebook. Aldryami picture p.50 (old version)/p.52 (new version): The picture in the old version of the Sourcebook has been replaced in the new version, but the caption has not. Which I think is an editorial mistake, as both pictures are also in the Guide, and according to the Guide the new picture displays: Forest Gardener Dryad Great Tree High King Elf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Green Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 Just a little heads-up, to save anyone else going through the same hoops. I'd bought the Sourcebook PDF a couple of years ago. I'm putting together an order today to get The Lunar Way and decided I needed the Sourcebook hardback in my life (it's the only other physical modern Chaosium-published Gloranthan rulebook/source I don't have), so I asked Support for a discount code for the "upgrade" to dead tree edition. Turns out, because it's now in its Second Edition, First Edition PDF purchases don't qualify for the hardback upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
