metcalph Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 Quote Which homeland are you most excited to read about? Confining oneself to the human lands of Dragon Pass, the choices are: Grazelands Lunar Tarsh Old Tarsh (Exiles and Far Place - judging by the Mythology mao) Sartar Minor homelands might include: Black Horse County Sun Dome County Red Dragon Valley Sufficient information exists for Stinking Forest Tusk Riders Durulz Dwarf Mine Dagori Inkarth Telmori More information is needed for Beast Valley Dragonewts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KungFuFenris Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 (edited) I mean.... All of them. But especially Black Horse County. Is this what turned into the Sartar Sourcebook? Also, did we go back to having release dates again? Cool 😎 Edited June 21 by KungFuFenris Quote Søren A.

brionl Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 So what is in a "Lands of Runequest" book? More family backgrounds? Gazetteer? Small bag of dirt? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the publisher's blurb on the pre-release sites: Quote Enter the Domain of Magic and Myth!

Speaking of art, the front cover: I can't see if the Orlanthi/Vingan is Vasana and the Earth Priestess could be Yanioth but who are the other two? Chances are it could be four completely new characters! Does anyone know for sure who the characters depicted are? 1 Quote Tusk Riders Need Blood - out now on the JC!

I'd guess the Earth Priestess is Yanioth and the Orlanthi is Vasana. The hunter on the left is probably Nathem. The warrior might be a Yelmalion given the spear and appears to be bearded (maybe it's Rurik from RQ Classic 🙂 ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molok Medramerek Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 There appear to be five characters, not four. If you look closely, one is hiding behind a tree on the far left. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KungFuFenris Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Quote new occupations and backgrounds What could those be? I also kinda want to know what "The Wilds" entail. 1 Quote Søren A.

Sir Erwin Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 I really like the cover art! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mao Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 6 hours ago, Sir Erwin said: I really like the cover art! Yeah I was thinking the cover is maybe the first piece of art in RQ:G that gets across that Genertela is kind of American looking/climate in places, it's cool. Feels very real. I'm not sure how you describe them, but the like banded sediment rocks/cliffs and the sparse evergreen trees always make me think of America. I'm not sure why, maybe westerns (especially Red Dead Redemption) and looney tunes backgrounds that are lodged in memory from when I was young. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd guess that would include: Beast Valley, Black Horse County, Forest of Fabulous Beasts, parts of Dagori Inkarth, and whatever other marginal lands exist within. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which homeland are you most excited to read about? The Holy Country is my preference for the next Lands book. Especially Heortland. After that, the "West" Makionist lands in general. Perhaps working from east to west. And Pamaltela ought not to be forgotten. Since it is a whole 2d continent, how about an overview and then regional books? As the timeline advances it is getting to be time for Peloria. We need it to work through Argrath crashing the Red Moon.

We need it to work through Argrath crashing the Red Moon. The next "Lands of" book will be Prax. I have zero doubt of that. Prax has always received a lot of attention, and the opportunity to cut/paste most of the book will be too tempting. The Holy Country is a solid choice for the next one, if there is a next one. My money would be on the Lunar Heartlands, though. They don't really expect people to center their games in Pamaltela, so I doubt we'll get even one regional book. I'm sure it won't receive multiple. I would love to see a regional book and a cults book for the unloved second continent. Lots of potential there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jens Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 Given that Prax was back from editing in November 2022, it seems likely to be next; the interesting question is if the Paris and Prax volume(s) (which it looks like Jeff is working on based on his Facebook posts) will be given the Lands of RuneQuest branding, or something else.

I'm pretty sure there's a "Kingdom of Sartar" book coming before Prax; don't know if it's coming out under the "Lands of..." sub-branding. I dunno if you're aware, but Prax has been getting a lot of time & effort from David. He's posted a bunch of maps, Great-Flood &c; his "The Praxian Tradition" graphic is stunningly full of info! And the "Prax and the thousand questions of the place" thread has a bunch of info from him (and others). I believe he's the primary author of the "Praxpak" manuscript; dunno how much of any prior text is being re-used. 2 Quote C'es ne pas un .sig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jape_Vicho Posted Thursday at 09:37 PM Share Posted Thursday at 09:37 PM (edited) Really cool. I expected we would only have cult books until all were released, I'm pleased that you are going to intercalate some others. BTW, I love the serialized branding, IDK why, but it feels nice. Will we see a "Races of RuneQuest: Trolls"? 😄 I imagine the next one on this line will be Prax, as that and DP are the most worked settings. Next I bet on Kethaela, then Lunar Provinces, then who knows. I'd love to see the mysterious West Reaches, but we will have to wait for the "Cults of RuneQuest: The Invisible God" book before that.
