It's in the "MIG" (the Meints Index to Glorantha, Rick Meints' fine
catalogue of all the things you wished you'd bought when they were
still on the shelves), of course, which is where this info comes from.
I have seen copies, but books of stats aren't really my thing...
Published by the Apprentices Guild:
"While short lived, the Guild published some very useful game aids
for RQ3. So much so, that Avalon Hill found them to be a threat and
sent them a notice to cease and desist or face legal prosecution.
The Guild complied and less than two years after they started they
were gone."
(Gee, must have been competing with all those handy-dandy Avalon
Hill statbooks! Anyone knowing more about this, I'd love to hear
the whole story...)
Apprentices Guild Products:
=
Children of Entropy John Prentice Chaos stats
Children of the Red Goddess John Prentice Lunar stats
Behind the Masque D Bourne/S Wakely Scenario
Cults of Light and Death Bourne/Prentice/Wakely Six new cults
CHILDREN OF ENTROPY - 36 pages, 1993
"The first product from the Apprentices Guild. It was published with
RQ2 or RQ3 stats to widen its appeal. A hybrid of Runemasters and
Foes, it contains runemasters, initiates and lay member statistics
for worshippers of Krarsht, Thed, Malia, Cacodemon, Vivamort, Bagog
and Thanatar. This is strictly for GM's who want to save some time
rolling up assorted chaotic nasties. The entries only cover the stats
and are devoid of things like names, possessions, magic items and
personal histories. If you liked Runemasters you'll like this too."
Review by Rick Meints: this is a fraction of a page of the 72-page
small-print lavishly-illustrated MIG, so rush out now and try to buy
a copy!
