- Mentioning at the top that all the links are for the PDFs, but add a note specifically next to GtG, GSB, and the 4 books in the new line, that those are available in dead-tree format too.
- Make a note of reprinted material where the previous material is also in the list (since I'm not sure why you would want to buy both the old and, err, less old book, except for historical value or completing your collection):
- Glorantha Classics Griffin Mountain is a second edition of Griffin Mountain.
- Glorantha Classics Cult Compendium collects and revises Cults of Prax, Cults of Terror, Rune Masters, TrollPak, RuneQuest Companion, and some magazine articles including some from Wyrms Footnotes.
- Glorantha Classics Borderlands & Beyond collects and revises Borderlands, Plunder, Rune Masters, Nomad Gods, RuneQuest Companion, and some magazine articles including some from Wyrms Footnotes.
- Apple Lane was (AFAICT?) heavily revised for the RuneQuest Gamemaster Pack.
Please do not take my comments as criticism. Clarity is always preferable when talking about things, often to avoid confusion. The thing is, some things are a bit hard to define and provide full clarity for without extensive descriptions and notes. The product list at the start of this thread is meant to be short and elegant, and descriptions would add a lot to the page. I believe that is why links are included to other pages where much more descriptive detail is found. As for details:
Gloranthan Classics Griffin Mountain wasn't meant to be a second edition. Yes, it has some new art and some designers notes. I see it more of a director's cut than a second edition.
The Cult Compendium collates material but does not really revise anything. It mainly collects a lot of cults together in one place. I'm not sure why you list Rune Masters as being a part of that book, since I can't think of anything from it in this book. The only thing from the RQ Companion is the Illusion magic article.
Borderlands & Beyond doesn't include all of the material found in the original Rune Masters book. I didn't include all the treasure charts and such. Once again, this book doesn't really revise anything. None of the Classics are meant to revise anything other than fixing simple typos.
I'm one of those guys who very much wants to know about every edition and printing for every RuneQuest and Gloranthan publication out there. That's why I wrote a 100+ page book on what's in all the gloranthan/runequest publications I could track down that were published between 1975 and 1999. That book, the Meints Index to Glorantha is currently out of print. I'm toying with updating it, but including all of the publications from 2000-date is a bigger task than I first thought.
