Steve Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 (edited) Has anyone got any news on this (i.e. new product for HQG, not the old boxed set or the Moon Design reissue)? I've put it in my post about upcoming Gloranthan products as something that hasn't been heard of in a while. But maybe something has been said more recently (e.g. at a convention?).Just wondering if it is a planned product, and if so who is working on it. Not expecting a timescale, of course.It would be wonderful to have it to put alongside Pavis: GTA.

Runeblogger Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 I'd love to buy a new Big Rubble book with new scenarios, or better yet: a campaign! 1 Quote Read my Runeblog about RuneQuest and Glorantha at: http://elruneblog.blogspot.com.es/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baulderstone Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 It does feel strange to have a Pavis book and then not make the Big Rubble a priority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noita Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 The Prax book is next I believe, though I agree not making the Big Rubble a priority is odd. Far more interesting to me than another Sartar clan righting wrongs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted October 30, 2015 Author Share Posted October 30, 2015 The Prax book is next I believe, though I agree not making the Big Rubble a priority is odd. The Coming Storm is next, surely? And I thought Trollpak Vol 1 was after that.The lack of news on The Big Rubble is a bit sad. But then again, with so much good stuff in the pipeline, it's difficult to be sad for long. Still, I'd love to see an updated Big Rubble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noita Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 I meant next in the line of Prax related books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vile Traveller Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Only vaguely related, but does anyone remember an online fan version of the Big Tblle that increased its size by a factor of about 10? New Pavis was just a little pimple on its periphery. I really liked the epic atmosphere that one change engendered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Questbird Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 I'd love to buy a new Big Rubble book with new scenarios, or better yet: a campaign!I really enjoyed playing the River of Cradles campaign (the RQ 3 version). Its conclusion took place in the Big Rubble, but I remember being disappointed that it didn't have more detail about the rest of the area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted October 31, 2015 Author Share Posted October 31, 2015 I meant next in the line of Prax related books.Ah, sorry, I see what you mean. Yes, we seem to have heard more about the Prax book recently, and nothing about The Big Rubble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Meints Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Steve: We haven't forgotten about it. We have a lot going on right now. It's not dead, just pushed down the production schedule.

bturner Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 I admit that my interest in CoC 7th ed has strengthened not least in part due to the fact that its publication will give the new Chaosium crew more time to work on other projects. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles VA Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 I love searching the 'Rubble as well but, The rest of the Praxian/Genert Wastes include an immense variety of hot spots to explore/plunder. I would like to see details on these areas with an internally consistent history and description. Don't get me wrong. I ran more than one campaign in the rubble, with the best of them ending with the prophesied "Axe wielding warrior chopping down the pillars of the Lunar temple". One of my players had actually managed to find the fabled Axe and with it's blessing became the first of Pavis' Champions. With several Heroquests and numerous beatings, managed to become Argrath Pavis. Fantastic stuff. BTW: All in Chaosium 2nd ed. 4 Quote If it takes more than 5 minutes to understand, it's not basic.

Mankcam Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 (edited) I think most Gloranthan fans have a few good memories of The Rubble from the old RQ2 box (although I played it with RQ3 at the time). However I agree that perhaps going over old ground so to speak, is not the best way to proceed when there is so many other regions to explore as well. If Prax is to be further developed, then beyond Pavis is definitely the way to go.The Sun Domers are a major presence of the region; the Animal Nomads roam the plains like Huns or Bedouin, in conflict with each other and the Poljoni Horse Barbarians; the Lunar Redlanders are trying to etch out their existence; and the Oasis People and the Riverfolk try and avoid the conflicts where they can.We have The Long Dry, The Dead Place, Eirthia Hills, The Block, The Paps, and the various oasis settlements and ancient ruins scattered throughout the region. Then there is the mighty Zola Fel itself, with Corflu and Feroda at the river delta, and the Lunar presence there, claiming it in the name of The Red Emperor.The Rubble is a great concept, but there is plenty of other places as well.The Big Rubble would make an excellent location to set a computer game however, and I'ld really love to see it developed in that medium.One can only dream :-) Edited November 1, 2015 by Mankcam 2 Quote " Sure it's fun, but it is also well known that a D20 roll and an AC is no match against a hefty swing of a D100% and a D20 Hit Location Table!"

Guest Vile Traveller Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 The Big Rubble was one of the stretch goals funded in the Kickstarter, so it's definitely on the list. Mind you, having just looked at that list again - it's a loooong one ... https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/224590870/runequest-classic-edition/description Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metcalph Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 The Kickstarter Big Rubble you refer to is a reprint of the RQ2 publication. The Big Rubble that is the subject of this thread is a HeroQuest version and a companion to Pavis: Gateway to Adventure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7Tigers Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 (edited) Yes, the new version is for HQ with an updated (and playable dixit Rick in Gencon 2013 video) craddle scenario and a lot more details on Big Rubble different parts.
