SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Thanks. I missed those. They're nearly two years old, but here is hoping.

And hoping none of the modern Chaosium leaks in.

I still have my AH Dragonpass, but would love these.

There is one minor error. Nomad Gods has gotten one edition, in French, since the 70s. Every now and then, I try to find it as the map alone is gorgeous.



With the rulebook in print and the Vassal module out, I guess you could build your own copy. I've worked on that with PRESTAGS plus Musket & Pike, Grendider, and Rifle & Sabre but my maps are still very sad.

Glorantha is really not set up for a traditional Judeo-Christian patriarchal worldview. It deliberately sets its face against 'D&D RPG fantasy' - or Tolkien & CS Lewis style literary fantasy. Likewise it's also not particularly compatible with the feminist anti-patriarchal 'woman are wonderful' fantasies, either, though clearly modern Woke Glorantha has been twisted in that direction.

   I don't know Glorantha, but Stafford was only one step removed at most from Marion Zimmer Bradley, so I expect there's probably some room for feminist neopagan spins on his work. He definitely had room for it in Pendragon.

I suspect that has a lot less to do with MZB than the fact both were doing Arthur in the 70s and 80s. That stuff is a lot older in 20th century Arthuria no matter how "groundbreaking" Mists of Avalon was supposed to be.
