Different Games Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 (edited) at https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/316797/valley-of-plenty?affiliate_id=392988 there's text that claims to be a link to the quest worlds SRD. But it isn't. Is it actually available anywhere? Oh and I also see that Valley of Plenty is listed under the RuneQuest system, even though it isn't. Ouch. Seems like there's no category for QW at all! Edited August 23 by Different Games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PackardMoose Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 (edited) The SRD is on Github here: https://github.com/ChaosiumInc/QuestWorlds I'm not surprised that QW has no category on DTRPG, because it's not really a published system yet (unfortunately).

The Jonstown Compendium supports Glorantha works - primarily RuneQuest (current edition) since that is the flagship product, but also QuestWorlds and 13th Age Glorantha. Most sourcebooks could be used equally well in any of the three (scenarios less so). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Different Games Posted August 24 Author Share Posted August 24 I was aware QW was on Github, but I have to say I'm disappointed we can't get it in some sort of simply usable format. I know there's a cumbersome process to consolidate the .md files, but... ugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDLeary Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 There was a pdf on GitHub when I downloaded my copy. Take another look! SDLeary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SDLeary There are a number of formats in the /docs folder (including pdf), and the /markdown folder has a consolidated .md file containing everything as well.\ Also the pinned post the top of this forum has a link to the pdf on the Chaosium site: https://www.chaosium.com/questworlds-system-reference-document/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ouch. Seems like there's no category for QW at all! I think that's a side-effect of how Jonstown Compendium (and other community content programmes?) is set up - the content creator doesn't get to choose which rule system the content is tagged under, and the system has been set to default to RQ (presumably as it's by far the most popular for this particular programme). You'll see that the new Red Moon and Warring Kingdoms supplement is also tagged as RQ, even though it very clearly is not.

But I'm guessing that DTRPG have set things up so that each Community Content Programme can only be tagged against one ruleset category.

Different Games Posted September 18 Author Share Posted September 18 Rather than open a new topic, I thought I'd mention here that it sure seems like the GitHub document is being ignored. Issues raised three weeks ago still haven't even gotten categorized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess one can either take that as a sign that QW on the whole is being ignored, or that the focus is largely on publishing right now rather than updating the SRD. Hopefully it's the latter.

Agree: the git repository is likely being ignored for a while, if the project has advanced to the art/layout stage.

Issues raised three weeks ago still haven't even gotten categorized. I went ahead and dusted off my outside contributor hat and sent Chaosium a PR addressing most of your issues, along with a couple of older ones. The remainder struck me as more as style/taste matters rather than errors as such, so I let them be. In either case, thanks for caring enough to raise them. When I get a chance, I'll rebuild the output artifacts in my repos to reflect the changes, in case Chaosium may not get around to it for a bit. I'll need to get the tooling installed. I've gotten a new computer since the last time I built them myself. lol Edited September 24 by JonL 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Issues raised three weeks ago still haven't even gotten categorized. Alright, the docs folder in my fork has files with the various typo fixes incorporated. I couldn't use the chaosium.latex template with my TeX tooling for some reason (details here), so the styling in the PDF is slightly different than in Chaosium's reference version. Still readable though. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
