Dragon Pass - a Gazetteer of Kerofinela - PDF found in Hero Quest and Glorantha Vaults at Chaosium.com Half page of text and a classic illustration by William Church Creaking and groaning, whistling and whirring, the wind-mills turn in glory to Orlanth. Let those who decry it as a Mostali generator or monument to human folly curb their tongues before it. Sartar Kingdom of Heroes found in Hero Quest at Chaosium.com A paragraph of text Taint a lot...

Ochoa Posted June 23, 2019 Author Share Posted June 23, 2019 I just got the (Sadly mapless!) pdf of Dragon Pass - a Gazetteer of Kerofinela, and that description should be enough. Thank you, noble barbarian! Quote Portfolio at www.juanochoa.co Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Scott Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 The major reference to Old Wind is the chapter in the Sartar Companion pages 74 to 79. It has a complete description, occupants and their practices and history. https://www.chaosium.com/sartar-companion-pdf/ The Guide is the main reference to Old Wind on page 186. Neither mention windmills. Old Wind has changed from the version of William Church. That version is the only mention of windmills in Glorantha. There's a thread here on it: https://basicroleplaying.org/topic/7439-glorantha-technology-and-glorantha-material-technology/page/4/ 1 Quote ----- Search the Glorantha Resource Site: https://wellofdaliath.chaosium.com.

See what happens,Ochoa, when you accept a barbarian in place of a real sage (they aren't always out to lunch). As David says, there is a lot of material in the companion and if you want data about the temple, this is the better bang. Have a look at the glorantha-technology-and-glorantha-material-technology thread in its entirety just for the hell of it, Great thread, great read! Still love the Church windmill.

One purchase and download later and wow. How had i not seen this book when I bought old materials. I like this version of Old Top better I guess a huge plus of RQ for me Is the inextinguishable well of lore for me to read and enjoy!

Yes I found a lot of great setting material in that and Storm Tribe. The maps on this one though, so so useful and good! I may end forced to redraw them for table use but finally, all the detail I need. I am so glad you folks are here.

And the main reason I like to help is remembering trying to sort this out in the days of BBSs and zines, truly a pain... We all had house rules at that point, whether we knew it or not.

The map is a little off, but still usable in your Glorantha. Here it is overlaid with Darya's map from the GM Screen Pack (based on Colin Driver's master maps based on Greg's originals): Edited June 24, 2019 by David Scott 1 Quote ----- Search the Glorantha Resource Site: https://wellofdaliath.chaosium.com.

The map is a little off, but still usable in your Glorantha. As you say, with any older material people have to be aware of corrections. For overview map I prefer the new map in RQG which is available in the GM Pack. It is the best looking one and also has the major roads. Only minor issue is the somewhat too dirty textured look. Neither of those have the details of the old Dragon Pass Gazetteer map by W.Q. But it is fine as details are better left for more zoomed in maps than those two. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love looking at it but it is very hard to use at the table as a reference. Quote Portfolio at www.juanochoa.co Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
