MOB Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Our Australian convention coordinator Andrew just happened to be at Chaosium's Melbourne HQ when a special air-mailed package arrived! This is an advance look at what is coming by ship, arriving soon in our warehouses in the USA, UK and Australia. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nevun Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 (edited) Looks VERY nice. I'll probably be ordering that as soon as it becomes available. Hey. Given that I'm still waiting for the copy of RQ:G that I ordered back in Sept last year to arrive (waiting for stock to arrive at Aetherworks apparently), would it be possible to 'trade' that order in for credit toward the slipcase set? Otherwise I'm going to end up with 2 copies of RQ:G. Who would I contact to discus that? Edit: Durp. I have an Australia post tracking number that says "delivered". I must be sitting around home here somewhere - all these months. Gota find it now. Edited February 4, 2019 by Nevun update Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oracle Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 So I can read this, that the ships are on their way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid a bod yn dwp Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 That looks Very good. Will it be easy for those of us with PDF’s of the GM pack, and bestiary to apply the pdf discount onto to this? I’ve already got RQG core in hard copy. Half tempted to buy again for the updated printing...but by no means essential. Slight discount could push me over into the buy again category Seriously this looks excellent.

Sid Vicarious Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 I have the hardcover of the core book, and pdfs of the bestiary and screen/adventure book, all bought from Chaosium.com. l expect to get the physical versions once they are available . Can the slipcase be purchased seperately to round out the set piecemeal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you already own the RQG core rulebook you will be able to buy an empty slipcase and also order the Bestiary and GM Pack to complete the set. For a limited time this will be available at a special bundled price. If you have purchased the PDFs of the Bestiary and the GM Pack, you will receive coupons for the full price of these PDFs off the cost of the printed books. The first printing of the core rulebook is sold out. The second printing of the rulebook features many corrections as well as brighter artwork.

Oh I’m even more tempted! I did think some of the images in RQG were a tad too dark. The trolls in the Big rubble image comes to mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should also make the maps a bit more user-friendly. Making out the place names was a chore in some cases. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiryamo Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Is it confirmed that there will be an leathered-slipcase edition, too? Simultaneously? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Meints Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 The Leatherette bound version of the Rulebook and the Bestiary, sold separately, or in a slipcase, will be sold at the same time as the regular hardcover books and slipcase set. Please NOTE: Empty slipcases and partial slipcase sets (Bestiary and GM Screen pack with a slipcase) will not be sold through distribution. Those items will only be available on Chaosium.com. Retail stores will have the full slipcase set, plus the rulebook, bestiary, and GM screen pack for individual purchase. 1 Quote Hope that Helps,Rick Meints - Chaosium, Inc.

Based on the lightened artwork and the errata, I'm gonna spring for the entire (filled) slipcase, even though I bought the core book when it first came out. I figure the older book can circulate at the table during char-gen. I don't THINK there are many changes there...?

That's not a bad idea, but I don't think I'd shell out for an new physical copy of the core book unless the discount token for the first printing would apply to the second printing as well. Is that the case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOB Posted February 9, 2019 Author Share Posted February 9, 2019 RUNEQUEST is soon coming by ship, but we thought we'd put the slipcase set we'd received in advance through its paces last night... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olskool Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Are they ever going to have a slipcase set with the Runequest AND Glorantha books TOGETHER (in a single case)... in Leatherette. 😁 And could Chaosium maybe... just maybe... put a copy out with a 16" X 24" page size format (with big print because I'm getting old) and a gilded bronze hardcover complete with dual leather straps, bronze or brass buckles, and a red silk bookmarker so I can rest a copy of RUNEQUEST on a podium in my game room like it was a giant Gutenberg Bible?😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just POD it through Lulu / etc with the requisite upgrades... I'm sure ONE of those services can handle your order ... can't they? 😋 Quote C'es ne pas un .sig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirinyaga Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Actually, when I received the glorantha books and felt their weight, since my brother was dismantling his roof to replace it, I took a few pieces of wood and started this : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1c-JqTR52XV_X_euCxwnnSUo27EBtE8S5FA/view?usp=sharing I still need to build a tiltable table on top to rest the book on. Those books are too heavy to be read comfortably, and my eyes are too bad now to read them on an untilted table. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirinyaga Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 My lectern is now done. I glued an african cloth (well, they're all made in europe, as you know) on the table and poured a couple millimeters of epoxy on it. I think I may have gone oversize 😁 The glorantha books look tiny on it ahaha. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill the barbarian Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 16 minutes ago, kirinyaga said: I think I may have gone oversize 😁 The glorantha books look tiny on it ahaha. May I suggest the Guide to Glorantha volumes one and two as well as the slipcase. Together these should suffice to make overlarge lecterns look more their size. Plus in case of Zombie Apocalypse any of the fine tomes (and slipcovers) can be used as personal defence systems (with blood shedding dust cover included free). Remember head shots, only! Order now and receive an authentic Lectern replica and an authentic Holy Hand-grenade of Antioch, absolutely free! 1 Quote ... remember, with a TARDIS, one is never late for breakfast!
