Shipwreck from Antiquity

We are currently holidaying in Cyprus, and we’ve recently visited the Lusignan castle at Girne, which houses, among other things, an exhibit about a Greek ship from approximately 300 BC that capsized in front of the city’s harbour. As the missus said, “they’d almost made it!”

The ship was discovered in the 1960s and brought on shore in 1963-64.  

Here are a few pics from the exhibit, which may provide inspiration for Gloranthan sea voyages.

This is from social media, so I guess it’s OK to share it. 


Update on the new RuneQuest

An update on the work on a new edition of RuneQuest. Thanks to the countless hours of playtesting, feedback, and revisions, we’ve realized that we need more time to keep developing a new edition. Consequently we're pushing back the estimated release date to 2027 at the earliest.


However, all that work has made clear to us that the existing RuneQuest rules can be presented in a far more concise and clear manner. The process has also helped us identify where the existing rules need to be clarified to make it easier for newcomers to learn the game mechanics and for us to make VTT adaptations. 


So without further ado, what we are going to do is release a Revised RuneQuest core rule book. This will be significantly shorter than the existing RuneQuest: Roleplaying in Glorantha core rule book—about a third the size. Combat rules are cleaned up, and the rules are far clearer and better presented than in RuneQuest: Roleplaying in Glorantha. This book will include a Bestiary, and will focus on Sartar, Prax, and the Big Rubble.


In the meantime, we will continue to roll out new releases for the RQG line; stay tuned for some exciting announcements!
