Posted by Michael O'Brien on 5th Aug 2024

Have you ever been surprised to discover a product you can buy for RuneQuest or Glorantha that you hadn't previously even known existed? Did you know that you can still get brand-new copies of that Gloranthan fanzine that quit publishing 15 years ago? Have you ever bought a RuneQuest book and then been annoyed to discover it was half the price on a different website?

Jonstown Compendium creator Brian Duguid has created An Unofficial Buyer's Guide to RuneQuest and Glorantha that aims to "list and describe everything that is currently available to buy, or that you can get for free." Brian says he's pretty sure that most fans will find a few surprises inside!

Here is some of what is described across the sixty pages of this Unofficial Guide:

Art • Badges • Bags • Boardgames • Character sheets • Classic reprints • Clothing • Coins • Comics • Computer games • Cults • Dice • Dice trays • Discounts • Drinkware • Fiction • Free stuff • Game aids • Histories • Homeware • Indexes • International editions • Magazines • Merchandise • Miniatures • Music • Online resources • RPGs • Rules • Scenarios • Stickers • Tokens

Have you ever asked ... which Gloranthan fiction is still available to buy right now? How many Gloranthan boardgames are for sale today? How many languages is RuneQuest: Roleplaying in Glorantha available in, and what are they? Where can you buy a Seven Mothers apron? Does anyone make a Gloranthan dragon snail miniature? Which artists are selling prints of their Gloranthan art? Where can I find alternatives to the standard RQG character sheet?

If so ... then this Unofficial Buyer's Guide is probably for you.
