No Mee Vorala too. Or i have missed her ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galafrone Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Also a question, Heart Mother and Balazar, how can we treat them ? they are local (balazar) gods. Heart Mother is the more interesting.. she seems a little bit of many earth goddesses (Ernalda in primis) Balazar ? i don't think there is a write up anywhere of him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davecake Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 I love that this gives us a very comprehensive guide to everything we need to play in Central Genertela. And I’d really rather the West, South, and East are done thoroughly and with plenty of playtesting and detail rather than pushing to cover everything at once. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted July 23, 2019 Author Share Posted July 23, 2019 Looks like there will be a limited number of the two volume set printed up for GenCon. My advise is to get there Thursday morning, or get someone to go Thursday morning for you. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reprinting of GaGoG content? TrollPack to include lots of "see GaGoG" xref's? Or...? Trollpack will provide lots of new info and insight. The exact details of how it is presented is still TBD, but there are still many dark secrets untouched even by the amazing Comprehensive long-form write-ups available in the God's Book. One of the big new things is full sub-cult descriptions for each of the Seven Sacred Ancestors. Lots of entirely new Myths and a view of the underworld from the point of view of the locals, rather than folk who can only ever visit as tourists/victims. Unsurprisingly, the Uz and the Godlearners don't always see everything exactly the same way. Though there is significant overlap, given the significant Arkati influence on the Godlearner worldview (Arkat having actually been a troll - at least for a while). The exact ratio of "reference / reprint / rewrite from uz pov / new or different material entirely" will ultimately depend on deadlines (I'm VERY slow) pagecount targets (there is a LOT of potential material to present) and editorial whim (what jeff jason and I think will be coolest). 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have schemes to present rules for Voralan Player Characters, but those are weird enough that they may or may not make the cut in the form that I currently envision them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Meints Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Until I see the print estimate for the set I cannot guarantee that $80 price. I can guarantee it will be in the $80-$100 range though. 1 1 Quote Hope that Helps,Rick Meints - Chaosium, Inc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not an exact date but could we reasonably expect a full print the end of this year or is sometime 2020 more likely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a point here for the cheap seats: when Rick says "we don't have the art done yet"...for anyone who doesn't yet have any RQG books, this is not a trivial/afterthought part of the publishing. (For those who have the books, this should be obvious.) I daresay that for GoG book(s) the art will be in a sense even more critical to portraying a lot of the flavor of most of the gods/pantheons presented; I can't imagine this is going to be quick or easy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd have to provide Divine Intervention in the shape of a huge amount of money to pay the artists overtime, and to hire more expensive artists to have multiple redundancy for each cult, and a layout team that you can sue for post-due delivery, and print houses next to the fulfilment centers with the required quality standards and again taking heavy contract fines into their calculation. In other words, you'd have to explode the reasonable cost for everything by a factor of ten or more. I don't think a single point of POW will get you even in the vicinity of this. A black market organ wholesale might... but then the one thing you shouldn't sacrifice for your ambition is the ability to appreciate fulfilling it.
