Guide to Glorantha - two volume slipcase set

by Greg Stafford, Jeff Richard, and Sandy Petersen

A world of gods, heroes, and mythic fantasy, fully described in epic detail.

Coming in at a massive 800 pages and 14 pounds, the two volumes of the Guide to Glorantha (which are 10 by 12 inch, full color, hardcover leatherette books) collectively make a complete encyclopedia of Glorantha. Its cosmology, culture, geography, history, mythology, people, and places are all explored in never before published detail. Hundreds of maps and illustrations bring the setting to life. The  two volume second printing is housed in a special "50th Anniversary of Glorantha" slipcase.

Glorantha is one of the oldest and most influential fantasy role-playing settings. It is the discovery of Greg Stafford, who has accumulated that universe's myths, legends, and other lore since 1966. Glorantha has been the setting for several role-playing game systems, including RuneQuest and HeroQuest, and is the setting for the award-winning computer game King of Dragon Pass. Although games and stories set in Glorantha have been in publication since 1975, until now the setting has never been fully detailed in all its glory. Now with the Guide to Glorantha you can explore this classic fantasy setting in all its glorious depth.

The Guide to Glorantha is more than just a roleplaying game supplement and is not written for any particular role-playing game rules system. The Guide won the 2015 Diana Jones award for excellence in Roleplaying.

Contents include:

• The major human cultures of Glorantha

and much much more.
