Tywyll Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 So, besides Different Worlds, Dragon, White Dwarf, and Wyrm's Footprints, were there any gaming magazines that featured content for RQ2? Those are the only ones I can find/have read about (I can't find Wyrm's Footprints at all...wish that were getting reprinted!). Note that I'm not looking for Glorantha material specifically (like a Con pamphlet or something), more articles and adventures if any exist out there.

SDLeary Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 (edited) White Dwarf, up until about issue 100 often had non-GW/Citadel articles. Often those were articles for RQ, Cthulhu, or DnD.

The plates for these were probably destroyed after each print run. What is amazing is how much Chaosium printed of each of these. These are still the original print runs. SDLeary Different Worlds basically predated modern desktop publishing. All the early issues were done by cutting and pasting printed text onto two page spreads of cardstock, which were then camera ready for the printer to make film plates for printing. The last issue was produced in 1987. Chaosium did the layout on the first 30 or so issues before Tadashi left Chaosium and struck out on his own, mainly taking the assets related to DW with him. We have a number of the early cut and paste layouts in the archives, but nothing for Different Worlds. While Tadashi owns the Different Worlds magazine, including all of the back stock, anything Gloranthan related was not transferred to him as part of his departure deal. Chaosium retained those rights back in the day, so releasing the magazine as PDFs would require a deal between Moon Design and Different Worlds. Such a deal has never been discussed as far as I know. 3 Quote Hope that Helps,Rick Meints - Chaosium, Inc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atgxtg Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 There were a few tidbits of RQ stuff in the Dungeoneer, the magazine produced by Judges Guild, who also published a handful of RQ2 supplements, including a GM screen. 1 Quote Chaos stalks my world, but she's a big girl and can take of herself.

It contains RuneQuest, Stormbringer, Elric, and Pendragon material among other things. That was RQ3 material though.

David Scott Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 19 hours ago, David Scott said: Wyrm's Footprints As all this stuff is new to you and old to a lot of us here's a brief run down: Quote Here's the intro the WFP: Welcome to Wynns Footprints magazine, a reprint of the articles from the late and much lamented Wyrm's Footnotes. Wyrm's Footnotes was originally published by Greg Stafford to support his White Bear and Red Moon boardgame, and only later became a RuneQuest magazine. ... There were fourteen issues of Wynns Footnotes produced from 1976 to 1982. Seven of the first eight issues were edited by Greg Stafford, #3 was edited by Tadashi Ehara, and the last six by Charlie Krank. Some articles from early Wyrm's Footnotes were also reprinted in the RuneQuest Companion published by the Chaosium in 1983. The reprinted articles in this volulne are substantially unchanged from the originals. Where possible we have annotated any major contradictions with subsequent published works, or more recent Gloranthan investigations. Some articles have been expanded to include portions that, for various reasons, were not included in the original. Lastly, we have also presented a number of fragments of hitherto unpublished information. Enuft Enjoy! Here's the ToC: Quote Welcome Walktapus Cookery Red Moon in Prax A Village Near Alone Temple of the Wooden Sword Sea of Neliom The Carving of Tarsh The God Learners Introduction to the Surface World The Last Song of Horned-Ulf Gods & Goddesses of Glorantha 1 Myths of Pre-Creation 2 The Celestial Court 3 Deities of Darkness 4 Spirits of the Sea 5 Goddesses of the Earth 6 Gods of Fire & Light 7 Gods of Storm 7a Orlanth and his Kin The Halfbird Convince the Examiners Starbrows Rebellion Famous Trolls of the Hero Wars Sartar High Council Dragons Past Character Stats Last Word Shannon's index provides more detail on the content here: http://www.erzo.org/shannon/gaming/indices/wyrms-footnotes.txt 1 Quote ----- Search the Glorantha Resource Site: https://wellofdaliath.chaosium.com.

David Scott Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 (edited) 19 hours ago, David Scott said: Tales of the Reaching Moon From shannon's site: Quote Tales of the Reaching Moon #1-18. Missing #19-20. 1989-2003. In the Summer of 1989, David Hall, Brian Duguid and Matthew Tudor published the first issue of the British RQ fanzine, Tales of the Reaching Moon. It was clearly a fanzine, somewhat amateur, but full of lots of fun Gloranthan material. The layout and content of Tales of the Reaching Moon improved after issue one, and shortly it became an international magazine. Issue 4 was produced in Australia, and currently ToTRM is easily available in all of Europe, New Zealand, Australia, and the US. The later issues of Tales of the Reaching Moon are of very high quality. Starting with issue #12, ToTRM has been covered with beautiful full-color artwork. Tales came to a planned end with #20, after an amazingly lengthy run for a fan publication. http://www.erzo.org/shannon/gaming/indices/totrm.html I realise it's all RQ3 though.

Kloster Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Most of Runes (a french prozine from 83 to 85) issues contained RQ2 articles or scenari. Most of Runes people later went to Casus Belli, another french magazine that featured quite a number of RQ elements (most of them RQIII). Quest (a french magazine) contained something RQ (RQ3 if I remember) in ALL it's issues. It even had a duck as a mascot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
