Is it an online resource or does it have tables that could be published in the Jonstown Compendium? Currently it is a desktop app, but the thought is to either make iOS app or a web app. It is just a app to create a sequence of suggested stations with runic associations drawn from a database of archetypes. With some advice about how to elaborate and interpret and modify for different uses, secrets, shortcuts and general shenanigans. For local versions of greater quests, initiation quest, local heroquests for communing with the history of places to appease or strengthen local spirits and gods aspects etc etc. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We have numerous books in the writing or editing stage, but we don't like to say "when" they will be done. We used to estimate "when" and ultimately ended up disappointing people when inevitable delays happened. We also spent a lot of effort providing "no update" on the status of these future publications, which then led to lots of "why" questions. Please use the following table to understand why Chaosium isn't telling you when a future book will be ready:1D10 Result 01 Author is late on finishing the manuscript 02 Editor is late on editing the manuscript 03 Artist(s) are late on delivering art 04 Art direction is taking longer than expected 05 Manuscript requires extensive rewrites 06 Art requires extensive revision or was rejected 07 Author gives up and a new author must be found 08 Artist disappears and art must be reassigned 09 Roll twice on table and combine delays sequentially 10 Roll thrice on table and combine delays sequentially 1/ It should be a 1d100 table surely? 2/ The entry for, 'A Meldik set fire to it' is missing. 3/ The entry for, 'My Dragon Snail ate it.' is missing. 4/ The entry for, 'Zorak Zoran whapped it.' is missing.

Orlanthatemyhamster 39 Posted November 12, 2020 Report Share Posted November 12, 2020 As far as we know, is the Cults Book going to include the spells for each cult, or are they going to be separate in 'The Big Red Book of spells.'? Is the second volume of The Cults Book, the Big Red Book of Spells? Thanks in advance! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The two volumes of the Cults book will be about 400 pages each, and just contain cults and related material. Edited November 12, 2020 by Rick Meints 9 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

UrHighLord 4 Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 Would really like to see an expanded equipment list. The one in the main RQ book is rather short. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's been noted over on FB that the Starter Set is almost ready for the printers. Also noted here: Jeff has also noted the Sartar book on FB and that seems to be coming along well, too. Lots of art postings for the Cults of Glorantha 2 volume set on FB, and shown here: I believe art/layout are the main items for completing that. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mal 9 Posted April 19 Report Share Posted April 19 Hey guys - anyone know if the HeroQuest supplement Dragonrise is still coming? I know we've moved on to post Dragonrise in RQ, but I'm still hoping this is still in the pipeline. I do kind of doubt it though as we'd probably have to wait for HQ to be redone as QuestWorld and then a Glorantha supplement for that which i kind of doubt is going to happen. I do have Andrew Montgomery's excellent Company of the Dragon which covers similar territory but I've been waiting an awfully long time for an official Dragonrise, and if it's not coming I'll be sad...

The most recent thing that I can recall on this is the following post, which I can only assume (though I could be wrong) was referring to the book that you mention. This may of course have changed since then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thoror 68 Posted April 26 Report Share Posted April 26 About HeroQuest, I'm guessing the Big Rubble book was definitely cancelled. Somebody correct me if I'm mistaken, because I would like that book very much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I thought always, that the Pavis and Big Rubble book (by Robin Laws) is a Runequest source book (it's listed this way in the OP). And I think Jeff mentioned in one of his latest video interviews for Chaosium, that its still in the works, but I may be wrong here ...

They are in the works. There are no plans at this point that I'm aware of for a QuestWorlds version. Whatever had been originally thought of or planned for that got shifted to RuneQuest.
