MOB Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Exciting news - the Glorantha Sourcebook manuscript is finished, and we'll have it and the draft 13th Age in Glorantha Rulesbook at Gen Con! So if you're coming to Gen Con, come see Rob Heinsoo at the Pelgrane booth (#419), and Jeff and Chaosium at booth 423 - these are next door to each other - so if you find one of us you may have found us all. We’d love to talk about 13th Age in Glorantha.

g33k Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 <drools quietly> Didn't KS this 13G (RQ is my Gloranthan drug of choice), but for sure I plan to get the Sourcebook! To be clear: this is the bare MS. (without art/layout/etc), correct? Will there be a non-backers "Pre-Order" option through Backerkit, the way there was for RQ:Classic?

Mankcam Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 (edited) I actually thought this may have been a 'KS-exclusive' book which is to arrive alongside the 13th Age Glorantha book. Considering I'm not a D20 player, this book as a stretch goal was my main incentive for backing the 13th Age Glorantha project in the first place.... :-( Edited August 2, 2016 by Mankcam 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!"

Steve Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Ever since Jeff told us that this book is myth-centric, I've really been looking forward to it. Can't wait to get my hands on it (shame I missed the Kickstarter). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numtini Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Please do a pre-order. I think you're going to be surprised at how many people missed the 13G and want in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pentallion Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 (edited) This is the book I want. Not interested in the 13G, no offense to those guys and their great game, but I'm really wanting the sourcebook for it's mythology.

Mankcam Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 (edited) Perhaps more Gloranthan products can be made like this in future, just narrative content, no game stats at all - this way it appeals to players of RQ, HQ, OQ, Mythras, 13G, or whatever takes your fancy. Also I think there is a growing number of people who are interested in the setting of Glorantha who are not into games, much like Middle Earth. The G2G has been the game changer here.

Duplication shouldn't matter as the editor should resolve them all - and in any review process, it is rare for all the reviewers to detect all the same things. I believe I have a 'hit rate' of around 60%... Below are my comments so far, derived from a quick six hour skim through the entire document, and then from a careful read through, which has taken eight hours so far, up to around page 58. General: Humaktsson or Humaktson? Both appear in the document: the former twice, the latter three times. General: ie should be i.e. General: Phargantites or Phargentites? Both used once. General: sometimes creation is given a capital letter, often not. General: The Deities of the Earth chapter gives each deity a section title, unlike the earlier chapters. This continues in subsequent chapters. General: pantheon sometimes given a capital letter, sometimes not. General: war god or War God (and goddess). Appears with capital letters and without.

jongjom Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 (edited) OK. My potential typos detected: Below are possible typos and suggested changes: Page 1 Steve Swensto should be Steve Swenston Page 3 "The Mundane World, where mortal beings exist, is atop the surface of the Earth cube. It is square, approximately 8000 kilometers on each side." Readers are not dumb: they know a cube is made up of squares on each side. Suggest change to: "The Mundane World, where mortal beings exist, is atop the surface of the Earth cube that is approximately 8000 kilometers on each side." Page 3 "To the south, east, and west all lie oceans: the Homeward, Kahar, and Neliomi." The Guide (Page 462-3) lists Kahar and Neliomi as Seas. Also south is Solkathi and Rozgali Seas with Homeward ocean far away. Page 3 "The Janube River runs from the Sweet Sea east of her to the Western Ocean". Change to: The Janube River runs from the Sweet Sea east of her towards the Western Ocean. OR. The Janube River runs from the Sweet Sea east of her to the Neliomi Sea. Page 4 "The hilly regions of Ralios are thickly inhabited with Elder Races, including Aldryami, Trolls, Dragonewts, and several Mostali cities".. First mention of these races. Therefore change to: including Aldryami (elves), Uz (trolls), Dragonewts, and several Mostali (dwarves) cities". NB Page 67 "Heortlings, Dragonewts, Aldryami, Uz [delete: trolls], and even the Gold Wheel Dancers." Page 4 "...dangerous White Sea." "...dangerous Keniryan Sea (White Sea)." Keniryan Sea is its name in the Guide. Page 4 : "She is thickly populated with humans, yellow elves, and dwarves." As there as many brown elves as dwarves, change to: "She is thickly populated with humans, yellow and brown elves, and dwarves." Page 4 : "oscure creatures" change to "obscure creatures" Page 4 : "To its north is the Homeward Ocean." Change to: "To its north are the Dashomo, Marthino, and Maslo Seas." Page 4 : "West, past the lands of men, rolls the chill Western Sea, which has no bounds." Actually west of Pametela is Swermela Sea and beyond that is Slon. Page 5 : The specific Runes are described below, by category. Some more corrections with the change highlighted in bold: Page 14 "Dragon Pass residents are certain of four, and suspect many others, sometimes without justification." Four are listed, not three Page 14 "The Green Dragon: The smallest of the four True Dragons known to men," Page 17 4. ORENOAR -- make this bold please, as the rest of the gods list Page 36 "SESHNA LIKITA is a daughter of Gata and Genert, and the land goddess of Seshnela." There is also a discrepancy with SESHNA LIKITA (page 36) being just SESHNA in the rest of the document, please fix Page 42 "The single moment when the Sun acted out of the ordinary is called Sunstop (375 S.T.) and is universally" Page 93 The year 375 was critical for Glorantha.

M Helsdon Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 This evening's catch. Pages 48, 55, 56, 66, 161: Lightbringers Quest – elsewhere given as – Lightbringers’ Quest General: Found Child or Foundchild? Both versions used in the document. General: Underworld or underworld? The former seems correct but both forms appear in the document General: Heroquest or heroquest? Both forms appear in the document General: tone of the document varies – either past or present tense, and sometimes presented as ‘our’ tales [see Page 67] and sometimes from an ‘outside’ perspective. I suspect this derives from the various sources used to populate the document and can’t be easily adjusted. Page 59: called ‘the devil’ – should be - called ‘the Devil’ Page 59: for the chaotic armies – should be - for the Chaotic armies [General comment – chaotic should be Chaotic?] Page 60: Resisters still held out – might be - Resistance still held out. Page 61: cast to Hell – might be - cast into Hell Page 61: section Wakboth the Devil duplicates material on preceding pages – suggest it be deleted as it does not belong in The Unholy Trio section.

Page 61: Death-hound – should be – Deathhound [as per earlier in the document]? Page 62: to the void – should be - to the Void Page 62: The Devil entered the world; with him came the slimy hordes of Chaos. Foremost in his father’s (the Devil’s) favor was Tien – this does not make sense. Suggest - The Devil entered the world; with him came the slimy hordes of Chaos. Foremost in his favor was Tien Page 62: which used strategy – suggest - which used a strategy Page 62: But all ways Tien chose – suggest - But all the ways Tien chose Page 63: until the Sky God’s son – Hrothmir was a son of an Air God. Page 63: knowledge of others-those – should be: knowledge of others – those Page 63: Snake Pipe Hollow – should be – Snakepipe Hollow [see page 165] Page 63: and for survival required the Power from intelligent beings – might be - and for survival devoured the Power of intelligent beings Page 64: in the mighty sky-bull – sky-bulls are described as the descendants of Storm Bull but Storm Bull is not a sky-bull? Page 64: She is known to have been killed by the god of entropy sometime during the Great Darkness – Page 58 tells us explicitly that he/she was killed by the Unholy Trio. Whilst this is an intentional example of mythic uncertainty, the contradiction sits uneasily in one chapter. Page 64: Illumined – possibly – Illuminated Page 65: In the Third Age, Red Goddess woke the cult – should be - In the Third Age, the Red Goddess woke the cult Page 66: order and chaos – suggest - Order and Chaos Page 66: Zzabur the Sorcerer Supreme, - should be - Zzabur the Sorcerer Supreme. Page 67: Dragons Nest – or – Dragons’ Nest [page 35]? Page 67: Queen Merngala the Great was the daughter of Queen Norinel and the Only Old One and the Silver Age queen of Nochet – confusing. Suggest - Queen Merngala the Great was the daughter of Queen Norinel, the Silver Age queen of Nochet, and the Only Old One Page 67: They settled in the right arm – should be – They settled in the Right Arm Page 68: He would anger the Esrolians when he dug in their necropolis – might be - He angered the Esrolians when he dug in their necropolis Page 68: the elf Fwalfa Oakheart,; - should be - the elf Fwalfa Oakheart; Page 68: Speaking Wheel,; and – should be - Speaking Wheel; and Page 68: The whole of their tale is beyond the scope of this essay – suggest removing this sentence RESUME AT Page 70 Page 105 and other pages: Urox – named elsewhere as Storm Bull. This Orlanthi name for Storm Bull should be mentioned on page 46. Newcomers to Glorantha won’t know that Urox is Storm Bull. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My potential typos detected: There's an overlap between our comments, and differences as well, because it requires numerous reviewers to detect as many errors as possible. Have asked on the 13th Age Kickstarter Comments a few days ago how long we have to do this, but no reply as yet. I haven't been looking at dates - always leave that to a last pass through. Personally, I'd like to work from a Word document with Track Changes as it takes an appreciable time to type up comments...

scott-martin Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 It's a great achievement. p. 17 I might check sources to see if we're talking about a "Red Class Tower" or a Red "Glass" Tower since while this story was previously unknown to me, the distinction has ramifications for deep lunar magic.

The original has the Red Glass Tower Joke (Wyrms Footprints p36). It may be related to the City of Rose Colored Glass in Teshnos (Guide p433).

Jeff, having access to a Word version would facilitate this exercise enormously, as it takes time to write up the comments. If you could send me (and other volunteers?) a Word copy then by using Track Changes this exercise could be speeded up. Depending on the level of reported errors I could combine those reported here. As noted by email my free time has taken a significant hit due to family concerns, so I can only spend three or four hours a day on this exercise. It really requires the same attention as KoS and RQ2 as many of the errors look to be scanning bugs, and would sign another NDA if necessary. For that matter, the PDF is not copy protected, but it would take too long to paste and transfer the whole document into Word without problems - I have tried...

jongjom Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 (edited) A Word version would be nice. Anyway, this morning's work so far: Page 11 even though the cultures had never met and were separated by oceans, mountains[comma] and languages. Page 39 "War of the Gods" is use twice, before settling into "Gods War". Maybe just keep the first one for dramatic effect? Page 43 It disappeared in the late Second Age, but reappeared in 1625 amid great portents and terrible omens. (The Guide has "They had sailed on the maiden voyage of the new Boat Planet and" during the Dragonrise Page 735. The questing for this started the year before, but its first reappearance was 1625). Page 43 “He was born,” says a prayer, “[w]ith great noise, deafening, disabling, Page 46 "The father of the Storm Bull was Umath himself, the Allfather of Storm. His mother was Mikyh." The document is listing Umath's sons, so maybe it would be better to reword this and give a snippet about his mother? Maybe: Storm Bull's parents were Allfather of Storm and mother Mikyh.....
