I checked with King's Hobby Store in Austin, and they say that Avalon
Hill has two upcoming RQ products. The first is "Elder Secrets of
Glorantha," which was due out in December but hasn't been seen yet. The
second will be released in April (ha) and is a city adventure package
with an odd name that I can't recall at the moment. I think this package
may be the rumored redux of Pavis.
I've received the first two issues of the RQ fanzine "Tales of the Reaching Moon" from a fellow named David Hall in Britain. It contains Gloranthan rumors, some really nice scenario ideas, and much Gloranthan material. If you haven't seen this mag yet, rush out, get an money order for 10#, and send it to
David Hall 21 Stephenson Court Osborne Street Slough, Berkshire, SL1 1TN United Kingdom.
I'm not kidding, this fanzine is really great. He is also looking for a U.S. distributor. Let me know if you are interested in subscribing through me. International money orders are fairly expensive and we share the costs if one person in the U.S. pays for the issues and distributes them "locally."
I have been playing in a Dragon Pass campaign run by Ken McKinney (kenm@natinst.com). The adventures are set in 1616-1620 and have included a trip to Snakepipe hollow, adventures in the Upland Marsh, and participation in the destruction of The City of 10,000 Magicians. Has any one else out there been running or playing in Gloranthan campaigns?
My latest software project has been writing a program to generate RQ characters automatically. I have gotten the basics (like characteristics and derived attribute computation) down, but I'm a bit bogged down in the design of decision procedures for skills, spells, and such and templates for specifying them. Has anyone else done such code?
