Aldryami

[Golden Wheel Dancer]

The blurb and cover for the Elf book is up here

I like the fact that some actual aldryami settlements will be detailed so we can get a view right inside their culture.

It looks like the cover details elfs at various stages of treeishness - which should appeal to both the "tolkienesque" and the "gnarled plants" factions of elf fans

yippee

Just to be nosey - who's writing this one?

Did I hear a rumour Shannon Applecline was somehow involved?

 

[gamesmeister]

No, Shannon is doing the Aldryami book for Heroquest. Not sure who's writing this, but I'm sure they'll poke their head in here soon...

Shannon's written both books.

 

[gamesmeister]

Wow...I stand corrected!

In that case, I don't imagine they'll be all that different...

 

[Rasta]

Does it touch on Voralans as well?

 

[Golden Wheel Dancer]

The strategic decisions of the Aldryami to only face the Uz in battle on their own terms and to only invade by extending their forests means that they will win almost all aggressive encounters they have with the Trolls. Suggesting that the trolls have a hope in hell just because they may win on open ground is like suggesting that the persians would win the battle of Marathon if the greeks couldnt think strategically.......the greeks could think strategically so the hypothitical scenario is meaningless.

So, the Aldryami would win near to 100% of aggressive encounters they have with the Uz.

Those dum pig-faces dont stand a chance.

lol.....sorry, wrong thread!!

I think I could give up my usual suspiciousness and preorder this one. In fact I think I'll actually do it. Looks great, and I know that Shannon Applecline has an incredible amount of experience about Glorantha. And that he has put a lot of effort into both books. [drools...]

The HeroQuest book on Aldryami will be bigger.


That is has a higher page count.
