View ArticleIs GanEstoro also known as Vogestes the Spearman?
This is my second, and arguably more esoteric, question about GanEstoro. As I read through the Entekosiad this weekend, it occurred to me that while there was no stated link, GanEstoro and Vogestes...
View ArticleEsrola, Heler, and Elmal
For a while, I've been wanting a version of the Marriage Contest between Heler and Elmal. It's an important myth, especially if you're playing with the Red Cows, since they and the Dolutha are...
View ArticleBenediction for protection or health?

I’m going to start a fairly traditional Risklands campaign (from Dorastor: Land of Doom) using Sartarite migrants for PCs, and I’ve collected a whole bunch of questions. I realize many of these...

Toward a Better Kralorela
The tea discussion brought up a lot of points about Kralorela that make it an unsatisfying setting for many Glorantha fans: The over-reliance on China for inspiration seems to be the main sticking...
View ArticleLooking for a phrase on God Learner Adventurism
I am trying to remember a phrase (IIRC by Greg, in the voice of a post God Learner critic of God Learner era practices) which described the condemnation of the God Learner hybris in three words...
View Article🌚 Blue Moon and the pre-Rebel Gods myths
In narratives of Glorantha in and out of the Entekosiad, there are many hints that the Blue Moon being struck from the sky was related to the ascent of the Sun. Annilla (name spelled 14 different...
View ArticleGlorantha: Beginners Guide?
Is there a community for beginners like myself to Glorantha? THere is so much material, so much history... I own the RQ:G book, the new one, but I kind of don't understand what it 'means' in the...
View ArticleUpcoming Glorantha publications
This is a totally unofficial list that I put together myself over on the Glorantha G+ group. So details may be wrong but a lot of this has been officially confirmed (e.g. that the product is planned,...

So, my current RQG campaign is entering Sacred Time 1625, and it takes place around a Dundealos clan in Sartar. So far I haven't gone into any detail with describing worship rituals and what they...

FAMOUS DUCKS OF THE HERO WARS!
Wotcher, warblers! I've been posting these to the Glorantha Google+ page so far, but while that format is brilliant for quickly displaying visual things like these, it isn't that great for keeping...
View ArticleLet's consider a random Stygian ruin!
I'm was looking at the Runequest book "Ruins" this afternoon and decided to roll up a random ruin according to their tables. I'm still pretty new to Glorantha, so I thought it would be fun to run it...
