What The Critics Say
-
“I find this book both informative and well-organized. It serves as an excellent companion to the Starter Set and GM Screen Adventures. It expands on much of what is found in the core rulebook, answering many of my questions about the area (though there are always more questions in Glorantha!). I believe it consolidates a lot of material from past publications along with new content, making it particularly helpful for newcomers.”
— Jason Lee, Lands of RuneQuest: Dragon Pass Review.
-
"Created by gaming legend Greg Stafford, Glorantha was a world originally developed and explored in the 1975 board game White Bear and Red Moon... Lands of RuneQuest: Dragon Pass is a new book from Chaosium that marks a return to one of the most mythic fantasy settings ever developed."
— Bell of Lost Souls, Chaosium Returns To Its Mythic Fantasy Setting ‘Dragon Pass’ In New Player/DM Book.

A long time coming, worth the wait!
Chasosium has taken us back to the Dragon Pass of 1975's boardgame White Bear and Red Moon (some of us never left) with the publication of the first book in the Lands of Runequest series. No doubt others will follow, and I’d guess Prax will be next. The book has a history of the region and provides a gazeteer of Dragon Pass and some neighbouring regions including Tarsh and The Grazelands. There are regional maps and streetplans of some of the larger settlements, some sample ‘typical’ NPCs, details of some local cults, rules for creating additional types of PCs (newtlings anyone?), and additional bestiary entries providing details of creatures and other encounterable beings. Different people would want different things from a book like this, but for me the level of detail feels about right. There's enough meat on the bones to give GMs ideas for scenarios while leaving enough blank space for them to flesh out their own games. The art and production values are glorious as is the norm with the current line of Runequest publications.

Lands Of RuneQuest: Dragon Pass
Absolutely stunning. The wealth of information for Dragon Pass has enough to cover a lifetime of campaigns in this area of rich history. Even the small towns that were but a name now have enough basic information to bring them to life. The artwork is equally inspiring with everything from wide vistas to intimate rural scenes. And the map supplied and available for download in High Resolution makes it easier to sweep across the lands and zoom in or focus on any area with clarity. A must buy.
