1650s Campaign

Posted on February 28, 2021

While running today, I flirted with the idea of running a short campaign set in the 1650s. The Hero Wars have now been raging for decades, and the world has been transformed….

Monomyth Art WiP V

Posted on February 26, 2021

The Monomyth is beginning to fill in! As always courtesy of the amazing Agathe Pitié!

Monomyth Art WiP IV

Posted on February 25, 2021

Humakt with Heler and a few other Storm Gods! A tiny closeup of part of the piece by the amazing Agathe Pitié.

Hero Wars campaign notes

Posted on February 25, 2021

There are roughly 34,000 Orlanth initiates in Sartar (including the Far Place), 5500 Yelmalio initiates, and another 8000 initiates of various war gods (Storm Bull, Humakt, Maran Gor, Babeester Gor, etc.). Let’s…

Sword dance

Posted on February 19, 2021

The telesias was a sword dance performed by the Ancient Greeks – imagine this performed in armor and you have a good take on the drogarsi dance of the sartarites.

Cults of Glorantha Art Preview – Raveena

Posted on February 19, 2021

I’ve been posting a few previews of art for the forthcoming Cults of Glorantha books, but there’s another beautiful book already in art production – the Sartar boxed set. And here’s just…

Monomyth Art WiP III

Posted on February 18, 2021

Just so folk know what I mean when Agathe Pitié is working on a HUGE depiction of the Monomyth, here is an overview of it:

Monomyth Art WiP II

Posted on February 18, 2021

The Myth continues – the Storm Gods refuse to be put in place and Yelm is struck down by their leader, Orlanth. The Gods War rampages across Glorantha. Again, part of a…

Monomyth Art WiP I

Posted on February 17, 2021

The amazing Agathe Pitié is working on a huge spread of the Monomyth for the Cults Book. I thought you all might like a few sneak peaks of the WIP! Today’s sneak…

New Battle Rules for RuneQuest

Posted on February 17, 2021

So last night I was play testing the new Battle Rules for RQ and Pendragon, and we opened up with the Battle of the Queens. And it was an interesting insight into…

Uleria art preview

Posted on February 14, 2021

Why blue skin? Her name means Blue Goddess in the Entekosiad  Harmony rune – I imagine it as her pleated skirt!

Population Density II

Posted on February 9, 2021

So Sartar has a population density of about 10 people per square km, and Lunar Tarsh about 18 people per square km. Esrolia is WAY more densely settled. North Esrolia has only…

Population Density I

Posted on February 8, 2021

So to get a feel for population density, a rough eyeball for Sartar (including the Dragonewt Wilds and the Far Place) is about 7200 square miles or 18,900 square kilometres. If we…

City Populations

Posted on February 8, 2021

So as we are looking at population numbers and area, it is worth looking at some of the cities: So comparing sizes, Boldhome is a MUCH bigger city in area than Furthest….

Notes on Belintar II

Posted on February 8, 2021

A few notes on Belintar that folk might find interesting: Belintar was a wise and beneficent being, with no grudge against the innocent, and a keen mind in marshalling his resources. In…

Sartar Population Density

Posted on February 8, 2021

So to get a feel for population density, a rough eyeball for Sartar (including the Dragonewt Wilds and the Far Place) is about 7200 square miles or 18,900 square kilometres. If we…

Sartar Sun Dome

Posted on February 5, 2021

As an aside, it is probably worth marvelling at how remarkable an architectural wonder the Sun Dome Temple in Sartar is. With a dome approximately 30 meters in diameter, the Sun Dome…

Yelorna Art Preview

Posted on February 4, 2021

I present to you a Shield Maiden of Yelorna by the amazing Loïc Muzy. I think the real regret is that Yelmalio has become completely uninteresting and ineffective. That’s a very strange…

Changing History in the Hero Wars

Posted on February 2, 2021

The approach is the same as in a game like Pendragon (where Arthur, Lancelot, Merlin, etc. are NPCs). Here’s the advice the forthcoming RQ Campaign book has: We encourage you to include…

Hero Wars Campaign Overview

Posted on February 1, 2021

The Hero Wars themselves are the wars between Sartar and the Lunar Empire. Here’s a super quick overview: The Hero Wars are thirty-year conflict that ends the Third Age of Glorantha. The…
