Byll Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 I hadn't noticed the general Kickstarter update email from yesterday. I thought that I had it as an option but I haven't had the BackerKit email (yet). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drablak Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 For someone new to the system, isn't it better to buy "Borderlands & Beyond" than this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, B&B does have SOME extra content, and it IS nice to have; but not really central (imho/afaik) to the Borderlands campaign ... The big gap, IMHO, is the separate maps. I don't believe the "Gloranthan Classic" B&B volume includes a good map (somebody please correct me if I am mistaken!) . Of course, now it's available as a separate item from Chaosium's Redbubble store ... Quote C'es ne pas un .sig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Meints Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 The biggest functional difference between the RQ Classic line of books and the Gloranthan Classic line of books are the stat blocks. For example, if the original book had 8 guards in it with identical stat blocks, the Gloranthan Classic book would have a single stat block labelled "Guards 1-8". The RQ Classic book will have 8 individual identical stat blocks labelled Guard 1, Guard 2, etc. If I wanted to play the scenario, the RQ Classic book would be more useful. If I just want to read the difference wouldn't matter. A bit of history: When we did the Gloranthan classics we had to be very careful not to use the word "RuneQuest" because the trademark was at first owned by Avalon Hill and then Hasbro. Greg did not own it again until after we were done with all 4 volumes of the Gloranthan Classics. That's all moot now that Moon Design owns the trademark as well as the copyrights on the RuneQuest, HeroQuest, and Gloranthan material produced by Chaosium, Avalon Hill, and Issaries Inc. Also, when the Gloranthan Classics were produced they were mainly set up to be printed products. Believe it or not, PDFs weren't as big of a deal in 1999 when Pavis & Big Rubble was sold. Unfortunately, printing and including the big printed maps wasn't as easy back then, so we did not include any of the big poster maps electronically or in printed form. Things have changed now so we are including the big maps as PDFs. 5 Quote Hope that Helps,Rick Meints - Chaosium, Inc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
