nurq news as i have written here the so called nurq has been ditched in its stead jeff richard is working on a lighter simpler but fully backwards compatible clarified version of rqg here are some news about the latter posted today by jeff on basicroleplaying org new core rules book this is 200 250 pages laid out it is very focused on sartar prax and pavis combat is much clearer and easier what we have found is that a typical 4 round combat with 5 adventurers versus a group of npcs takes about 45 minutes to run with a newish gm character creation is much faster you should be able to make your first character in around thirty minutes with it being 20 minutes or less once you get the hang of it faster if you use the pdf worksheet the cheat sheet for the core rules magic system plus all common rune spells description takes up three pages total gamemaster book this is 250 300 pages laid out it includes a full bestiary that is focused on being plug and play it teaches all of the core rule systems how to create encounters tailored for your characters how to handle social interactions spirits run campaigns in dragon pass and prax and pavis between adventures and how to handle treasure plus plenty of unique items it includes the official and complete heroquesting rules and battle rules this is something that reflects years of discussion between mearls and i about how people learn how to run games and what they actually need to know pavis and big rubble this is the setting fully updated and expanded with at least a half dozen brand new adventures starting with a welcome to pavis scenario intended to bring brand new players into the setting posted by 賈尼 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels nurq runequest 4 10 december 2025 chaosium con europe ii chaosium have just confirmed there will be a chaosium con europe ii next year in poland from 30 october to 1 november so basically the same dates as this year well see you all next year in gdańsk then posted by 賈尼 no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels convention 05 december 2025 cons news i haven t posted in a long time but hey i was busy attending two cons in a row chaosium con europe in poland and contes d automne in southeastern france plus many real life shenanigans kept me away from the interwebz chaosium con europe this was the first official chaosium con in continental europe after the various unofficial ones in germany it was organised as part of the 50th anniversary celebrations of chaosium s creation by greg stafford and it took place from 30 october to 2 november in the beautiful port city of gdańsk in poland red bricks galore the venue was really nice the uphagen manor a former redbrick manor transformed into a hotel see the picture there weren t that many gaming slots so i only played runequest twice pendragon and age of vikings the latter gm ed by pedro ziviani its creator it was still nice to catch up with the tribe as i hadn t been attending any con outside of france since the coronavirus pandemic i was very very positively impressed by age of vikings i initially thought it was just the second edition of mythic iceland but it is much more than that the rules are basically a streamlined version of rq brp uge in terms of combat skills passions honestly i wish chaosium had trod this path rather than the inelegant nurq oh well i shall provide other snippets of news gathered around the many pints of beers that were quaffed at the bar of the hotel i couldn t attend any of the panels because of conflicting schedules with the games or with my wife s desire to visit gdańsk so the following is all hearsay also probably old news by the time you read this the short term publishing schedule for runequest is as follows the sartar book the pavis book a new starter set with a focus on sartar and pavis a new rulebook see below the remaining cults books are going to be published after all of the above darkness then water then chaos the cults books for the invisible god and the horned god are not in the pipe at the moment the harmast novel later on we should expect a reprint of the rq3 dorastor supplement à la sun county the new white bear red moon wargame won t be an identical reprint after all it will feature less wargame y rules than the original game but not a reboot as what chris klug was working on the more general news about runequest is that the new rulebook will be a shorter but more streamlined book less intimidating than the current one and with bestiary elements and better indexing contrary to the tentative nurq of 2025 it won t aim at being a new edition we shall also expect more pdf downloads like the elder race adventurers and the praxian adventure the hunt for the storm calf the good news is that the con is back in 2026 also in gdańsk but probably a tad earlier in the year contes d automne this is probably less of interest to my non francophone readers contes d automne is a fantastic con set in a former monastery in provence what i really like there is the sense of being with your friends during the whole duration of the con all meals are taken together whereas at chaosium con europe you had to leave the con s premises to find something to eat in the neighbourhood which 1 broke the out of time out of everything spell and 2 didn t guarantee you d have lunch with the tribe i hope they fix it for next year anyways i discovered a lot of games at contes d automne which is usually what happens because gms there tend to concentrate on lesser known games i played cthulhu dark blades in the dark and candela obscura yes quite an array of gloomy games and i ran questworlds because i purchased the hardcover at chaosium con and couldn t wait to use it if you speak french i really recommend this con posted by 賈尼 3 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels convention glorantha

houses among other things an exhibit about a greek ship from approximately 300 bc that capsized in front of the city s harbour as the missus said they d almost made it the ship was discovered in the 1960s and brought on shore in 1963 64 here are a few pics from the exhibit which may provide inspiration for gloranthan sea voyages posted by 賈尼 no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels background 05 september 2025 nurq important news this is from social media so i guess it s ok to share it update on the new runequest an update on the work on a new edition of runequest thanks to the countless hours of playtesting feedback and revisions we ve realized that we need more time to keep developing a new edition consequently we re pushing back the estimated release date to 2027 at the earliest however all that work has made clear to us that the existing runequest rules can be presented in a far more concise and clear manner the process has also helped us identify where the existing rules need to be clarified to make it easier for newcomers to learn the game mechanics and for us to make vtt adaptations so without further ado what we are going to do is release a revised runequest core rule book this will be significantly shorter than the existing runequest roleplaying in glorantha core rule book about a third the size combat rules are cleaned up and the rules are far clearer and better presented than in runequest roleplaying in glorantha this book will include a bestiary and will focus on sartar prax and the big rubble in the meantime we will continue to roll out new releases for the rqg line stay tuned for some exciting announcements posted by 賈尼 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels glorantha industry nurq 20 august 2025 vampires and glorantha i have never been a fan of vampires in glorantha even before greg stafford s world became firmly grounded in a bronze age iron age mythological milieu and was still a kind of old school kitchen sink of various fantasy tropes i disliked the presence of vampires why well because as a mythical creature the vampire only appeared in european literary fiction in the 18th century it s a creature from the modern era not from antiquity and not even from the middle ages i actually even found vampires lame in d d but we can fix this because mythical creatures feeding on the vital fluids of the living have been present in myth and legend since forever however their depiction is in stark contrast with the charismatic villain type popularised by bram stoker s novel and by classic horror film vampire like creatures from antiquity are almost invariably monstrous and repulsive resembling ghouls rather than european aristocrats given chaosium s current art direction for glorantha much more inclusive of non european influences i would like to suggest the following as alternate inspiration for the vampire first and foremost the vetāla a class of spirits in hindu mythology that live close to charnel grounds and that can take possession of dead bodies as vehicles for movement these animated corpses then cause mischief in nearby villages bhairava is the god of vetāla as with many fearsome south asian deities he is not evil his frightening appearance may indicate that he is a fierce protector of the faithful or that he teaches how to transform anger or hatred into understanding this being said the way he is depicted can be a source of inspiration for the new gloranthan vampire in line with the current art used in the game bhairava second the strix of ancient greece it was a monstrous bird that fed on the blood of children hence the d d stirge third let s look at inner asia the ḫortdan is a vampire revenant that gets out of its grave at night to feed upon the blood of the living it can become invisible or turn into an animal the ḫortdan look bloated especially after having fed with a ruddy complexion hence my suggested modifications to the description of the vampire runequest bestiary p105 106 instead of it takes on a pallid white skin and lustrous hair it becomes bloated with a ruddy complexion instead of it may now turn into a bat wolf or smoke it may now turn into a monstrous bird or become invisible also since darkness creatures are so strongly opposed to chaos i believe the vampire should be associated to the shadow rune and not to the darkness rune posted by 賈尼 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels creatures glorantha older
