Yelmalio Initiates in Prax and Sartar

Posted on May 31, 2021

Something that is worth thinking about is that there are more Yelmalio initiates in Sartar (which includes Sun Dome Temple and the Far Place) than in the Civilized River of Cradles. However,…

The Duck People of Sartar

Posted on May 31, 2021

The diminutive Duck People of Sartar are a strange lightning rod for some people. But in Dragon Pass, they are no stranger than the Horse People (centaurs), Bull People (minotaurs), Dragon People…

RuneQuest Design Decisions

Posted on May 25, 2021

So I figure I’d walk folk through some of the design decisions behind the current RQ releases. 1. The Cults Book underpins everything. If you want to have Lunars, Praxians, Balazarings, Sartarites,…

Reference Texts

Posted on May 25, 2021

So in my previous post, I listed my A0 texts. These are the texts that everything else is built off and that I constantly refer to in world building, rules building, etc….

A Sartarite Farmer

Posted on May 25, 2021

One of my absolute favourite pictures Ossi Hiekkala has done for the forthcoming Sartar Book. This shows a typical free Sartarite farmer (of the Orlmarth Clan to be precise) and his child….

Red Goddess WiP Preview

A little sneak peak from Loïc Muzy. Who wouldn’t want to join the Red Goddess in her cosmic dance?

Interacting with the Setting

Posted on May 16, 2021

I’m reposting this from elsewhere in the threads because I think it is a significant point: RuneQuest is about having epic fantasy that is interwoven with a fantastic setting. It is geared…

The Humakti Duel

Posted on May 15, 2021

Although this has been posted before, here are the rules of Humakti duels as presented in the forthcoming Cults Book: The nature of the Code of Humakt is such that arguments, discussions,…

How the Lunars Look

Posted on May 13, 2021

I know many of you are wedded to the idea of the Lunar Heartlands being Rome. But to me, this is a Lunar princess riding out of Glamour accompanied by another Lunar…

Spell Economics

Posted on May 12, 2021

As an aside, the economics of spell cost in RuneQuest is player and significant NPC oriented. 3 point spells are really rarely cast outside of those groups (and one-use spells are almost…

Boldhome Map Preview II

Posted on May 12, 2021

I thought people might be interested in seeing the current WiP of Boldhome from above.

Phase Three: Prince Of Sartar (1625-1629)

Posted on May 12, 2021

A little snipped from the Campaign Guide that folk might find interesting. I’m going to talk more about this on Saturday during Impromptu Con! This phase begins with the Dragonrise and is…

Boldhome Map Preview I

Posted on May 7, 2021

This is a work in progress for the Sartar box, but Matt Ryan and I are working on a street map of Boldhome. Combined with Olivier Sanfilippo amazing Boldhome map, this will…

The Beastmen

Posted on May 6, 2021

There are no records of the Beastmen living in Dragon Pass in the First Age. During the later Second Age, there was the famous Stitched Zoo at Voss Varainu, where the Wyrms…

Posted on May 5, 2021

Here’s an interesting silver coin from the First or Second Age Dragon Pass showing the goddess Kero Fin giving the Necklace of Uleria to the King of the Heortlings. Clawed hand? That’s…
