Forgotten Secrets of Glorantha

Sandy Petersen

The second KRAKEN Chapbook is a transcript of the awesome seminar Forgotten Secrets of Glorantha at THE KRAKEN 2014 with illustrations by Jon Hodgson.

From THE KRAKEN 2014 Program booklet:

FORGOTTEN SECRETS OF GLORANTHA
Host: Sandy Petersen

Let the Geekfest begin! We’ll make Uncle Sandy tell us stories on how he helped Greg Stafford create Glorantha in the Green Age. The Only Old One has more arcane knowledge, memorizes more sources, knows more amusing trivia and unconsciously guards more Glorantha secrets than anyone besides Greg. All we have to do is ask! Crazy, I know. And yes, he knows the God Learner Secret. And no, he won’t tell us. Or worse: he will.

This Chapbook is a 44 pages extravaganza of forgotten, never told, unheard of, unpublished secrets of Glorantha right from the source – a veritable Glorantha Goldmine. Including the most terrifying Chaos Nest in Glorantha, Pamaltela history, East Isles secrets, the goal of the Empire of Wyrms Friends, more secret Troll Plans, the Black Moon, the Sky Terror and Dragon sexuality.

Forgotten Secrets of Glorantha is produced by Tentacles Press and the RuneQuest-Gesellschaft e.V. under license from Moon Design Publications, as a fundraiser to support THE KRAKEN.

Forgotten Secrets of Glorantha is availabe as PDF here for $6.95.

Sharper Adventures in HeroQuest Glorantha

Robin D. Laws

Quest for Story! Quest for Adventure!

"I am impressed. Robin has done it again. He's applied his incisive power to come up with a versatile and understandable system of creating story driven adventures in Glorantha. Sharper Adventures in HeroQuest Glorantha is a must for every Narrator and player."
                    - Greg Stafford

"I am excited to see that Robin Laws has written a useful guide to gamemastering (and playing) in the amazing world of Glorantha. I read it thoroughly, and think it has handy ideas for other roleplaying games as well, though obviously it is particularly focused on entertaining campaigns set in rich universes."
                    - Sandy Petersen

"Despite the title, this invaluable reference is useful to gamemasters and players alike for any game setting. Laws' guidelines are scalable, helping focus character motivations, NPC behavior, adventure goals, and the campaign as a whole. The Chapbook presents an easy-to-use adventure structure fostering player agency while letting the gamemaster steer things towards a satisfying, coherent narrative. A worthy addition to the ever-growing (yet all-too-short) shelf of gaming advice."
                    - Jason Durall
