Ian Thomson Pavis Series (2000-2004)

Ian Thomson, assisted by several other authors, wrote five supplements expanding the Pavis and Big Rubble supplements:


Volume 1 – Pavis, A Man for all Seasons (2000)

Tentacles Press, 2000 in Ye Booke of Tentacles 3,, about 40 pages of material:

  • The Cult of Pavis – a large companion piece to previously published information, filling in many gaps and elaborating on the reality of this remarkable man and his legacy.
  • The Cult of Opili for RuneQuest – a generic warrior subcult for Pavis: general concept approved by Greg and rewritten for Multisim’s ‘Hero Wars: Pavis’.
  • Holiday Glorantha: The Real City – a tribute piece to Tales of the Reaching Moon’s series, providing a detailed outline of this settlement, making it available as a base for adventurers.
  • Zebra Fort – detailed outline of the people and politics at this Rubble location.
  • The Dwarves of Pavis – at last an elaborate article explaining the origins and motivations of these unique individualist mostali.
  • The New Flintnail Temple – another detailed description of a formerly unpublished Rubble location.
  • The Rubble Trackers – a small, mistakenly included, work-in-progress article that has now been completed and updated, and published in Vol. 2.
  • Mani’s Fort – several surprising revelations were ‘discovered’ by Greg and Ian during their discussion about Mani’s Clan – a detailed outline of their habits and origins.
  • The Flintnail Tunnels – a quick overview of the Pavis subway system.
  • A Rough Visit to Glamour – a major set of scenario notes for sending your Pavic adventurers all the way to Glamour with hopes-to-be-Governor Raus as he petitions the Red Emperor for the position left vacant by Sor-Eel: this is a companion piece to the ‘Rough Guide to Glamour’.
