Lunar Army laziness

Posted on July 14, 2020

Not detailing NPCs

Posted on July 9, 2020

RuneQuest session

Posted on July 9, 2020

Last night’s RuneQuest session involved our intrepid adventurers and their dozen or so followers and mercenaries fight their way through zombies and skeletons into Blind King’s Castle. They succeed, although in the…

Lunar invasion motivations

Posted on June 29, 2020

Why conquering Sartar, Prax, and the Holy Country? Once the pacification of Sartar was accomplished, troubles in distant Aggar drew much of the Provincial Army away, but the tribes remained quiet. Local…

Notes on Belintar I

Posted on June 27, 2020

Cosmopolitan Sartar

Posted on June 20, 2020

As I have been working on the Sartar Homeland book, I’ve been struck how much more cosmopolitan Sartar becomes if you just extend the map slightly from that of the old Dragon…

Notes on the Holy Country I

Posted on June 12, 2020

For centuries, Belintar was able to coordinate magical activity to everyone’s benefit in the Holy Country. The gods were often manifest – so you didn’t need tribal rites to have that contact….

Notes on the Holy Country II

House campaign

Posted on June 3, 2020

Caravans

Posted on May 25, 2020

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…

Kallyr’s Short Lightbringers Quest 1625 – I

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…

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

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

Notes on Ethilrist II

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…
