Master Map

Posted on January 16, 2023

Something Greg taught me was to regularly overlay maps, so that you could see how things interact with stuff beyond the border of the map. This has a big effect on how…

Thoughts on city size

Posted on December 2, 2022

When we think about most cities in RuneQuest, they are pretty small. New Pavis is a little over 5000 people. Jonstown, Swenstown, and Wilmskirk are even smaller – none are more than…

The Guardian Hills

Posted on November 28, 2022

Swenstown, like most of Eastern Sartar, is in the rain shadow of the Quivin and Storm Mountains (and of course the Rockwoods as well). No gentle summer rains there – on average…

Feeding Boldhome

Posted on October 26, 2020

I believe these are the great temples around Sartar. As an aside, Eiritha is an important cult for the Pol-Joni, but Ernalda is still more prevalent. The Pol-Joni are very atypical Praxians….

Boldhome Food

Posted on October 6, 2020

So as you all know, there is a dish similar to tacos carnitas in Furthest, as well as popular dried fish on a stick, but did you know that in Boldhome you…

Eastern Sartar and Prax

Posted on October 12, 2019

A few interesting features here – you can see that Pimper’s Block is in Balkoth tribal lands. Moonbroth is only about 40 km from Swenstown, and the Dead Place itself is only…
