Foundational 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….

Red Goddess WiP Preview

Posted on May 19, 2021

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…

Quivin Mountains Map WiP Preview I

Posted on April 21, 2021

So in order to do the street map of Boldhome we had to get a better feel for the Quivin Mountains. And we kind of went overboard on information – but here’s…

Kallyr Starbrow Art Preview

Posted on April 19, 2021

Here is an official character turn of Kallyr Starbrow as Prince of Sartar by the amazing Anna Orlova. This is a good take on how a noble leader of the Sartarites might…

Eastern Sartar Photo Inspiration

Posted on April 19, 2021

For people trying to imagine the landscape of Sartar, here are some good pictures of eastern Sartar: Now western Sartar gets more rain and has more trees – this is in the…

Eastern Slopes of Sartar

Posted on April 7, 2021

If you want a good feel for the eastern slopes of Sartar, I took pictures today. You can even see Prax in some of these shots! Remember the base elevation of Clearwine…

Routledge Companion to Women and Monarchy in the Ancient World

Posted on April 6, 2021

Just read the Routledge Companion to Women and Monarchy in the Ancient World. Loads of fantastic ideas very compatible with Glorantha – but one section particularly struck me was about brother-sister marriages…

Cults & Mechanics

Posted on April 5, 2021

One of the odd cognitive dissonances I often see when people discuss RuneQuest cults is the interplay between these two ideas: Now personally I don’t subscribe to Case 1 even for game…

Homeric and Orlanthi kingship

Posted on March 29, 2021

An interesting snippet on Homeric kingship directly of relevance to Orlanthi tribal kingship: The terms basileus and basileia are usually translated as “king” and “queen,” but not correctly so, if “royal” persons…

Gloranthan gods are not moral exemplars

Posted on March 27, 2021

As an aside, most Gloranthan gods are not viewed as moral exemplars by their worshipers. Orlanthi readily acknowledge that when Orlanth used Death on Yelm that was a Bad Thing (although we…

Moon Phases

Posted on March 25, 2021

This may be my single most repeatedly used reference picture in all of RuneQuest.

Monomyth Art Final preview

Posted on March 21, 2021

I present to you the Monomyth, illustrated by the amazing Agathe Pitié. Look at this wonder and be astounded! And it will be a fold-out in the Cults Book. Along with all…

And the Monomyth is nearly complete, courtesy of the amazing Agathe Pitié.

Voria Art Preview

Today is the first day of Spring, and so Voria gives you her blessings! By the magnificent Loïc Muzy for the Cults Book.

How the militia trains

Posted on March 17, 2021

The militia musters together each Fire Season and learns to fight together. They aren’t drilled so much as learn how to gather together in groups, how to fight with sword and shield…

Monomyth Art WiP VI

Posted on March 16, 2021

A little preview of a world full of gods. By the amazing Agathe Pitié of course. A little less than half of the monomyth here.
