A Tired Uzuz Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Nice more gods and goddesses is always good. I hope Wachaza and Triolina make it in. That would the all major Water gods done in one go. As much as I would love to see Subere in there I could also see her being in the future Trollpacks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beoferret Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Any chance we'll see an official write-up of the Cult of the Tiger? This was first introduced in the Aug/September 1980 issue of Different Worlds magazine for those who don't know. That issue was my first intro to rpg's and has a really evocative piece of cover art (in my opinion.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't read that magazine but if it's a Hsunchen animal/beast cult it should mostly be covered by Hykimh and Mykih. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was more of a RQ Gateway cult writeup for the Tiger Sons which is why it did not get included in the Glorantha Classics Cult Compendium (same for some of the other odd cults like Indlas Somer).

Excellent - Barntar might not be a huge deal much of the time, but with the Lunar occupation took on a much larger role. Horned Man seems really important, and using him as a template for lots of shamanistic cults (like Kolat) appears like a good move. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akhôrahil Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Really curious about how Land Goddesses (like Dorasta) will be represented in the new RuneQuest. They always seemed like "like Ernalda, except far less useful". Subcults might make sense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, GoG will have some guidance in order to adjust its CC for variants, maybe? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Posted July 20, 2019 Author Share Posted July 20, 2019 As I see it, the major cults not appearing in this book are: Triolina (I really need to think far more about the Triolini before I tackle this cult) Godunya (already appearing in another book) Pamalt (will need to wait until I get to the South) Ompalam (see above) Seseine (see above) Invisible God (gets its own book) Arkat (needs Invisible God) Wachaza (needs to wait - his cult is right now confined largely to the Wachaza) There are numerous minor cults that will appear elsewhere - Pavis, Zola Fel, etc. They are purely local entities. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qws2 Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Very impressive. But I cannot go to Gencon... I hope there will be a preorder preview version like Shards of the Broken Sky of Pelgrane press(another 5 years-waiting book). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiningbrow Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Cool! So, Kolat is now getting his own entry!?! Will Elmal get a nice subsection? Last question (for this post 😛 ) - how many pages for each entry? (On average) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrollPack to include lots of "see GaGoG" xref's? Or...? Quote C'es ne pas un .sig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
