This 105 page book provides a full overview of the empire, it people, customs, religion and more. Character creation rules for Taskan characters are provided as are rules for cults, new spells and the way Taskan religion is indelibly bound into the lives of all who live in the Simulacrum's shadow.

It's nice to see a publisher using innovative methods to avoid high shipping costs. The Lulu thing is great. I got  a copy of Essentials via that route and had it in my hands in the UK three or four days after i placed the order. The quality of the hard copy is perfectly fine, although I haven't used it at the table (it's a player backup for my HC RQ6). Bundling the PDF is definitely the way forward as it is so easy to produce player handouts using copy and paste or printing a couple of pages.

 

Kudos to DM for being there for the fans.

Shores and Korantia and The Taskan Empire are so incredibly well done! My fantasy group is switching back over to RuneQuest using this setting. So much detail, well thought out, lots of opportunity for adventure and intrigue. I was super impressed with the first book for that other system, but the combination of the polish of RQ6 and these two is something special. All I can say is - six thumbs up, 27 stars, highly recommend.

Word!

For polish, forethought, solid supplements and interesting settings, nothing beats RQ6 in my opinion! Unfortunately, it's just not the game for the tastes of my crew and considering wonderful publications like The Book of Quests, Monster Island, The Shores of Korantia, and Mythic Britain,--all of which I own--such a state of affairs makes me very sad. 

Having consequently switched over to MW as a happy compromise, it makes The Co.’s present stance on MW even more poignant.

Cheers!
