Moon Rites (2003)

Fundraiser for Glorantha-Con VIII, March 7-9, 2003, 72 pages.


Like a Crimson Bat with a bad case of the munchies, Moon Rites is seventy two pages of Lunar myth and mystery. Moon Rites is a fundraiser for Gloranthacon VIII. Focusing on the Empire and its subjugation of the barbarian nations of the extremity, Moon Rites features articles, fiction, scenarios and artwork from some of Glorantha’s most talented explorers and shapers.

Moon Rites is a joint production between Gloranthacon VIII and the Chaos Society, proud publishers of Trade Talk and other fine Gloranthan works.

Moon Rites features the art of Annie Berzovan, Simon Bray, Dario Corallo, Sarah Evans, John Hughes, Wesley Quadros, Darran Sims, and Claire Steyert, and a superb cover painting by fantasy artist Larry Dixon.

And the articles! Within its crimson-tinted covers, Moon Rites features the following:
