One of the most epic adventure packages ever put together by anyone. It may take you awhile to get to running it, because just reading it is to be savored. My previous benchmark for a campaign pack was Griffin Mountain. Then came Six Seasons In Sartar/Company of the Dragon. Now we have Black Spear. What a time to play RuneQuest.

Awesome book. The most extensive discussion of heroquesting in RQ ever, and filled with wonderful details and characters. it also shows how to run relatively mundane, clan-related adventures as well as tying them into a larger story. if you run RQG, GET THIS.

A simply amazing tome... revisiting the nastiest place in Glorantha, and bluntly making it even nastier than the original Dorastor: Land Of Doom. In that venerated book, Dorastor was, in theory, someplace adventurers could visit on their own terms. No longer -- this place will devour any but the mightiest and most heroic parties without a belch. Old friends and enemies return, politics and geography are expanded, the horrific influence of Ralzakark is detailed, and the madness of Humakt-worshipping Chaos creatures is examined in depth. No stone is unturned, and, unfortunately for PCs, there's something awful under every one. If you don't have this, you are missing out. I would rate it one of the top five Jonstown Compendium titles, and a necessary purchase.

I definitely like the concept. The descriptions are intriguing. But most of the trinkets are described in the same way that the merchant at the beginning of Disney's animated Aladdin might describe them. Or maybe as displays in a two-bit wandering carny. See the bristles from the helm of a commander of the EWF! This cruddy old mask was once worn by a member of the fabled Puppeteer Troupe! Funnel cakes, only five clacks!

What might be really useful is not to have it in the format of a random table, but something like Plunder. Examples of ways the PCs might find these trinkets. What they'd have to roll to recognize them. Who could tell them more. Things they could be, rather than what they are. The obvious intent is to set up adventure seeds, rather than merely local color, but I don't think it does the job as well as it might, and I wish it did. This isn't a game aid so much as a workshop -- "What can you, the Game Master, do with this oddment?" -- and I think it needs a lot more meat.

Crazy, nuanced, absolutely essential. Unlike Pavis or one of the citadels of Balazar, Glamour is a huge city, with fascinating characters, factions, and intrigues all playing off each other. The possible reasons to go here for adventures seem endless, and it's also an excellent starting point for campaigns. The history, mythology, and attention to detail make this a required purchase.

This is seriously lovely. Everything you could want for a low-to-mid-level military camp is here, from tents to campfires to catapults to fences and a watchtower (that you can put characters on). The graphics are quite good, assembly is easy, and you can use many of the pieces (esp. the camp incidentals and the pack animals) for other circumstances and scenarios. Well done!

The artwork is splendid and evocative, the verse is damn near perfect... you could believe that HPL intended something like this if he were more visually-oriented. A simply beautiful book.
