Newt Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Hi all, I'm putting together a new Gloranthan fanzine called 'Hearts in Glorantha' and I'm looking for articles and art work. Article wise I'm looking for a diverse selection of topics that are light and fun. Background, homelands, GM/Narrator advice, Fiction, NPCs, scenario seeds and full adventure write ups, all these things will be considered. What system you use is up to you. The license that Greg and Jeff Richards have kindly sorted out for me, covers HeroQuest, old RuneQuest and Mongoose RuneQuest in the 2nd Age. If you don't use one of the 'official' systems, you can even be a heretic and send in your ideas and rules conversions. As long as its set in Glorantha I don't care. Contributors as well as having the pleasure of seeing their work in print, will also receive the issue of fanzine their work appears in. I'm aiming to get the first issue out by the beginining of August, just in time for the mighty Continuum convention. The second issue will then hopefully emerge just before the end of the year. The fanzine will be available in both print and Pdf formats. If you are interested in contributing or helping out in any way please email me off list, at mrnewt AT gmail DOT com. 1 Quote Head Honcho of D101 GamesPublisher of Crypts and Things/Monkey/OpenQuest/River of HeavenThe Sorcerer Under the Mountain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newt Posted April 8, 2008 Author Share Posted April 8, 2008 Hi Adrian I've asked all those people who've contacted me with ideas for articles to give me a title and a short abstract. Hopefully I'll be in the position to post this information later in the week.

frogspawner Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 I'm putting together a new Gloranthan fanzine called 'Hearts in Glorantha' and I'm looking for articles and art work. I have a bit of a problem here, in that I think I've gone off Glorantha a bit recently. Not more barbarian culture articles, please! I'd prefer a BRP fanzine. But if BRP stuff is allowed, it's probably worth supporting. (Rules for converting HeroQuest to BRP? >:-> No, I don't have the HQ knowledge to do any, just exploring the limits of heresy... ) Quote Britain has been infiltrated by soviet agents to the highest levels. They control the BBC, the main political party leaderships, NHS & local council executives, much of the police, most newspapers and the utility companies. Of course the EU is theirs, through-and-through. And they are among us - a pervasive evil, like Stasi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Rules for converting HeroQuest to BRP? >:-> No, I don't have the HQ knowledge to do any, just exploring the limits of heresy... ) I'll be leaving the job of doing a dedicated BRP fanzine to someone else Saying that I've already got a few offers of some BRP stuff in its RQ version for issue 1. As for endless Barbarian-loving articles, HiG won't be delivering that since I want to make each issue diverse. Besides as a Lunar-lover there's only so much I can take of those Sartarite skumbags As for HQ -> BRP thats more a system issue, rather than a Gloranthan one. My personal opinion is while you could graft on various bits of HQ onto BRP, they are such different systems in terms of scale and scope that its better to use each for where its good. In terms of systems heresy I was thinking using Burning Wheel for Sun County, Savage Worlds for Prax and Unknown Armies for Lunar Intrigue.

GerallKahla Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 In terms of systems heresy I was thinking using Burning Wheel for Sun County, Savage Worlds for Prax and Unknown Armies for Lunar Intrigue. This is an excellent break-down of the tone each of these parts of Glorantha has. The systems you map to each culture/area definitely give a different "feel" to what goes on in each place. The system support for the setting's tone is one of the most overlooked aspects of modern game design, IMO. On the other side of the argument, I do believe there are ways to use BRP to support non-adventure games. Very much looking forward to HiG, despite being somewhat disenchanted with the setting. Please let me know if we on the other side of the pond might get our hands on your 'zine! Regards - Quote Emerging from my Dark Age... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darran Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 So this is the cover I have done for Newt for the first issue of 'Hearts In Glorantha'. I am pleased with it, especially the letters in the main title as they are my own design from many years ago. I hope to make them into a proper font once I have found a font making software package for the mac. I am by the way the un-official Art Director for HiG so I will be producing more artwork and trying to source new artists for the future issues. Quote Cheers, Darran Continuum 2014.

Extra points for an enthusiastic LBQ! Hey @Newt, In Wind Words a couple of episodes ago I got all excited about your announcement of an issue planned for summer of 2020. Any news?

And it's not as if Newt has abandoned all HiG plans... The new offer may be newly relevant! 🙂 Quote C'es ne pas un .sig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
