Richard S. Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 I didn't even know there was a companion! Someday I'm gonna have to buckle down and buy all this old stuff just to see what all I've missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very evocative, loads of scenario hooks, a full writeup for Unicorns and much more. Quote Simon Phipp - Caldmore Chameleon - Wallowing in my elitism since 1982. Many Systems, One Family.

Joerg Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Worth having for "The Smell of a Rat" alone, IMO. The first pieces of published Gloranthan fiction are reprinted here from Wyrm's Footnotes 2 or 3 (IIRC the Fadabius dispatch), too. The Holy Country article was the fifth-best regional description available (after Griffin Mountain, Pavis, Borderlands, and Troll Pak for Dagori Inkarth) until Dorastor was published. The map lacked a gazetteer, which became my first productive contribution to Glorantha. The snippets from the Jonstown Compendium contained the first hints at distant myths, like the Kralorela emperor list, or the three challenges of Yelm (Basko, Molandro, Jokbazi) and made our heads smoke for years. And you just have to love the bison with its saddle and its leather stirrups on the cover. 1 Quote Telling how it is excessive verbis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And still have not been fully captured in the larger sets of myths Even though the Red Emperor was clearly doing a Solar HeroQuest as Basko when he ambushed Sheng Seleris' nephews on the Ten Tests, or however many there were at the time.

Austin Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Just wondering, what are the odds that Chaosium might make this (or other old PDF-only material) available in print, or Print on Demand? For those of us who prefer hard copies to PDF . 1 Quote Jonstown Compendium author. Find my publications here. Disclaimer: affiliate link.

For those of us who prefer hard copies to PDF . RQ Companion is output of the RQClassic KS, one of the Stretch Goals. There are still a few products to finish, but it's getting close... 😁🤗😍 Last I knew (the last time I saw Rick address the topic) Chaosium planned to wait for the whole KS to be done, and look for the best way to get everything printed then (I think they were hoping for economies of scale, even if just on the labor-costs of tracking down a single suite of bids/costs/etc, not having to re-do the "find the best solution" process for each product). I don't know if they have any new thinking on this topic (and maybe I misunderstood then, or am misremembering now).
