While converted stat blocks are much appreciated, a conversion algorithm/method would be more generally useful I think. What was your method?

Issaries and Reaching Moon have released all their reprints/extensions of classic RQ2 box sets as PDFs. Pavis/Big Rubble, Griffin Mountain, Cult Compendium, Borderlands, etc. See where it all began. Woot!

Out of purely selfish interest, any chance of some sort of discount on 2nd edition sourcebooks for those of us who purchased first edition? I'd like to read this, but having invested in the first ed stuff, it's hard to justify rebuying much of the same information.

Have you read Neal Stephenson's Baroque Cycle? It seems pretty close to what you're aiming at here.

I use RQ for a pseudo-historical Mycenaean/Minoan Greece setting with steampunky and alchemical elements (Daedalus gone mad, basically). Given that RQ/Glorantha was always a bronze age setting, it works quite well. The 19th century anthropology aspects of RQ also fit well with older classical...

This seems backwards. I hope you won't take me pointing it out amiss, but the EWF is not aspiring to transform its territory into a giant Dragonnewt through everyone realising their inner Dragonnewt, including former barbarians now converted to the worship of Orlanth Dragonnewtfriend...

Despite being Gregged in the new edition, the Trade, Undead and Dragon runes appear in the header and footer of every page of the rulebook and in the shiny gold cover and RQII cover symbol. Poor communication with the art department? The decision to discontinue the Dragon rune seems very...

Not sure if it's an error or a feature, but the mechanism for dedicated POW creates some strange side effects due to its reduction of magic points. 1) The rules allow Rune Priests to dedicate ALL their POW; which would mean they had no magic points, which would mean that they were unconscious...

A workaround for Bladesharp/bludgeon/etc all using the Metal rune might be to use the idea of rune metals (Solar pantheon uses gold, earth pantheon uses copper, etc). Use the god's substance rune as the one that corresponds to that metal, and then integrating that rune lets you cast Bladesharp...

Prices now appear to have dropped back to their previous level. I guess their intertubes were clogged or something. Anyway, thanks for taking it up with them, Matthew.

I notice prices have suddenly jumped on PDF RQ books on drivethrurpg.com (aka rpgnow.com); anyone know anything 'bout that?

Allow me to recommend Houseplants of Gor as perfect source material: http://www.rdrop.com/~/wyvern/data/houseplants.html
