House campaign

Posted on June 3, 2020

As we neared the ruins a baboon hailed us in Praxian and asked if were there to attack him. He had seen us in the ruins before as was worried. We said…

Caravans

Posted on May 25, 2020

Caravans are a huge part of the setting, particularly in Dragon Pass. Especially caravans going through Sartar once it is liberated. Beginning in 1627, the new Prince encourages caravans traffic and places…

RQG Community Resources

Posted on May 25, 2020

As I work on some community resources for RQ, I am trying to make my life a little easier by tying things to Pendragon and to the ancient world, at least for…

City Culture

Posted on May 20, 2020

Alone is culturally more like Wintertop than Alda-Chur. Alda-Chur is more like Dunstop than it is like Alone. Ponder that. Original post: https://www.facebook.com/groups/RuneQuest/permalink/1636703869838939/ Note that Sartarites view those from the Alda-Chur region…

Orlanthi ownership

Posted on April 28, 2020

Here’s a little snippet from a forthcoming players-oriented book I am working on: The Orlanthi divide ownership into two types of property, called earth and chattel. The Orlanthi view the Earth as…

Kallyr’s Lightbringers Quest

Posted on April 10, 2020

Getting support for an attempted Lightbringers Quest is pretty much everything Kallyr does from being acclaimed Prince until Sacred Time. She pushes hard to have the entire Orlanth cult and its associates…

Dunstop

Posted on April 8, 2020

A few notes on the Tarshite city of Dunstop: Dunstop has a population of about 5k people and covers about 50 hectares. It is built on a low (30 meter high) hill…

Backbone of Lunar power

Posted on April 2, 2020

The strength of the Lunar Empire is not its soldiers: In our recent RQ game, my players got a good look at what the real backbone of Lunar power is – it…

New Pavis under the rule of King Argrath

Posted on March 28, 2020

A good look at the governance of New Pavis under the rule of King Argrath: Auda is the spitting image of Narmeed Whirlvishbane.

Ethilrist and the Black Horse Troop

Posted on March 19, 2020

A few notes on Ethilrist and the Black Horse Troop I posted elsewhere and thought might be of interest here: Sir Ethilrist was the descendant of a long line of mercenary captains…

Eurmal’s Clown societies

Posted on February 17, 2020

One thing that gets a big emphasis in the forthcoming Cults of Glorantha are Eurmal’s Clown magical societies. Don’t think of modern clowns from the circus – think the sacred clowns of…

New Chaosium House Campaign

Posted on January 4, 2020

Made up characters for the new Chaosium House Campaign – set in Glamour. We have a noble dilettante, a mystic spymaster, a Yelmic judge, a Jakaleel shamaness-in-training, and a Spolite Black Mage….

Nochet to Glamour at 1:400,000 scale

Posted on December 20, 2019

Admittedly Glamour is not in this picture as it is just beyond the field of vision. But I see Alkoth and even Raibanth. Each sheet is an A2, so about 24 x…

Geology of Genertela map

Posted on December 9, 2019

Here’s a geology of Genertela map done by Andreas Pittelkow about 20 years ago, but much of it is still right on. The “bricked” areas are limestone strata formed during the Storm…

Defeated Lunar Regiments

Posted on December 8, 2019

After Second Moonbroth, the Marble Phalanx, Silver Shields, and Antelope Lances retreated back to New Pavis, sniped and harrassed by nomads all the way. Whatever survived fought like demons when Argrath led…

The Victorious Marble Phalanx (1626)

Posted on November 27, 2019

Soldiers of the Marble Phalanx celebrating their victorious (ie. successful) retreat to Alda-Chur after the disastrous near-victory at the Battle of the Queens. It was a remarkable victory. After the disastrous near-victory…

Here’s my sketch for the map of the South Wilds that will soon be appearing in full glorious color in The Smoking Ruins.

Middle Sea Empire, Second Age

Posted on November 16, 2019

A few notes on the Middle Sea Empire of the Second Age. It was largely a naval power (with its main land power being Seshnela), and it could throw massive resources at…

Map of Tarsh

Posted on November 16, 2019

Apropos the discussion of Tarsh, here is the labeled map of Tarsh. One thing I found interesting is how much hillier and more rugged central Tarsh is than I had assumed. The…

NW Prax map

Posted on November 15, 2019

Today’s map builds on yesterday’s and might seem a bit more familiar – this is NW Prax (plus parts of NE Sartar). Some of this appeared in the Trollpack map, but this…

SW Prax sketch map

Posted on November 14, 2019

Here’s one more map. This is SW Prax complete with labels. One of the things I really like about this is it gives a great impression how close the Block is to…
