FYI: I managed to get an MP3 version of the podcast by subscribing to (and downloading) it in iTunes and then selecting the "convert to MP3" option.

My picks from the OP's list are: Blood of Orlanth RuneQuest Deluxe Elfs Dara Happa Stirs I am particularly surprised and delighted to see the Dara Happa book on the list. I hope it will give me some material to incorporate into my "Draconic Park" game, which is set in the marshes of Darjiin...

Any word on those previews? ~Kevin

Then can we have some new previews to hold us until then? Please? Pretty please with sugar on top? ;) ~Kevin McD

Thanks! If I remember correctly (a big if), I got the total population figure from the old RQ3 Players Book. The individual clan populations were derived from Loren Miller's defunct Carmania website. I had to scale them up a bit when it was revealed that 60% of the population of Carmania is...

I agree! My RuneQuest game is set on the border between Carmania and the EWF in Darjiin, and will follow the progress of the war over the next few years. The players seem pleased with the setting so far. I also have a website devoted to Carmania, although most of it is HeroQuest based...

It's great news to hear that you can make it! As for the organization, there isn't much to report. Greg is going to run Pendragon and HeroQuest and I am going to run RuneQuest and Mythic Russia. That is about the extent of things this time around, really. That said, I am really looking forward...

And I strongly encourage you to do so! Your Blood Over Gold book has been on my "eagerly awaited" list for a looong time now. It sounds like it will be a ton of fun. BTW... yes, referring to the Mirrorsea Bay area as the Holy Country was pure laziness on my part. My apologies, everyone, for...

I don't know why it too me so long to notice this, but the default campaign area for Mongoose RuneQuest seems to have moved from Ralios to the Holy Country. Just look at the supplements that are out now or will be out in the near future - Cults 1 & 2, Magic of Glorantha, and the Clanking City...

I would definitely be one of them, assuming they fixed the Balazar thing. Ah, heck, I would probably buy it even if they didn't. ~Kevin McD

I am actually running a Second Age game using the old (RQ2) rules, so I decided to divide the generic term "spirit" into three sub-types: daimones (theist), essences (sorcery), and Anima (animism). Thus a Summon Ancestor spell or Summon Spirit spell will call a specific type depending on the...

Likewise! Maybe we can get in a game at StellarCon? Is your schedule going to allow you to attend? <laugh> Well, I do tend to be long winded. Interesting... I agree - that is the right tone for Carmanians. "Old Carmania" is a term used to describe the region of the early kingdom of Carmania...

I have been reading the excellent Cults of Glorantha vol 1, and have enjoyed it immensely. I am sure it will see a lot of use once I get my game off the ground. Still, I am an old Glorantha grognard, and Carmania is my specialty - to the extent that I have one. So... I present here some...

And indeed I did! My wife didn't expect the order to arrive before Christmas, but it did all the same. I am now devouring Magic of Glorantha and Cults I. I am having a very merry Yuletide indeed. :) I hope all of yours is the same!

Shannon is writing elf books for both Moon Design and Mongoose. The HeroQuest one is written but still has to proceed through all the usual stages before it sees the light of day. The Mongoose one has yet to be written. See details on Shannon's blog: http://shannon-a.livejournal.com
