Cults of Glorantha comes first. A mighty tome, chock-full of old favourites and brand new cults, plus some radical reworkings of cults from the previous Mongoose editions. Each cult has a detailed myth (sometimes more) to accompany it, and the emphasis is on gameability. Just about all these cults offer something to adventurers and some of the God Learner cults, in particular, will be excellent ways for messing around with myths and generally disrupting the cosmic harmony of the Lozenge.

A book of this size and detail means that some cults just wouldn't fit in. The main casualties are the Chaos cults, but this will be rectified with regular Cult write-ups in S&P and, gradually, the cult canon will expand to satisfy all needs and niches. Inhuman cults are being dealt with by Pete Nash in the Races of Glorantha books.

After that, attention is turned to two more Gloranthan projects: work on 'Pavis Rises' to ensure its a truly marvellous tome that does justice to Pavis's iconic standing in Gloranthan lore; and 'The Abiding Book' which will deep dive into Jrusteli culture and make playing a God Learner hugely fulfilling. More on that as The Abiding Book writes itself (if only...)

Gloranthan fans will also be keen tio get their hands on The Abiding Book, a veritable masterpiece penned by Lawrence Whitaker (though you'll have to wait until November for that treat!). If you are looking to explore new worlds

August Releases
Mongoose announces that the new Elric of Melniboné setting for RQII, due for release in August. Also announced for August, is Sommerlund for the Lone Wolf MPGB, the first RuneQuest Compilation and Shards Volume 2 for Earthdawn. French players can look forward to the translation of Glorantha.

Mongoose Sand wrote:Bon, je ne peux pas donner de planning definitif vu que les changements sont frequents mais voici en gros ce qui est prevu pour l'annee.

On a demarre fort avec RuneQuest II et L'Arene des Monstres Volume I et II (Volume I etant de retour et le second volume etant parti pour les imprimantes)

On enchaine avec deux volumes pour Glorantha et le planning apres cela se propose de suivre les sorties RuneQuest II, y compris des traductions pour Deus Vult et tout autre setting RuneQuest.

Elric et autre setting je pense pourraient etre dans le planning de l'annee prochaine mais du fait des changements pour le moment, je ne peux rien confirmer.

Bilan: Glorantha et Deus Vult assures ainsi que les supplements RuneQuest sur les races, equipements et campagne.

Cults of Glorantha has sprawled into a truly _massive_ project. Lawrence has really gone to town in a tour de force of Gloranthan cults with this one, turning it into a truly epic work. That is the good news for RuneQuest players.

Trying to steer this back to RQ, Lawrence has recently delivered both the Elric of Melnibone main rulebook and the Cults of the Young Kingdoms (he must have cults on the brain right now...), and is now polishing off Pavis Rises, the great Gloranthan campaign. Then, apparently, he will be spending time working on something called The Abiding Book...
