According to information gathered from people who were attending the
RuneQuest panel at
Dragonmeet in London this past week-end, and from an interview of
Jeff Richard and
Jason Durall at
AetherCon, the next big batch of books for
RuneQuest once the various
RuneQuest: Glorantha books (core rules, bestiary, GM pack) are completed is going to be a series of historical/fantasy campaign books set in the 10th century AD.
The first one will be a re-working of
Mythic Iceland, and the following ones are rumoured to be about Constantinople and the Arabian Nights.
On a parallel note,
The Design Mechanism have announced
Mythic Constantinople, a supplement describing 15th-century Constantinople at the time of the Ottoman conquest, with rules for Christianity, Islam, and some uchronic pagan cults. The book should also contain details on the factions, institutions, guilds and military orders of the city on the Bosphorus, plus “Old School”-like random tables to create scenario seeds for busy referees.
It will be interesting to compare the two Constantinople books and, why not, set up a time-travel campaign between the 10th and the 15th Century!
