RuneQuest - Glorantha Bestiary

ADD TO WISHLIST >

A Myriad of Foes, Rivals and Allies to challenge your RuneQuest Heroes

Dragonewts

The RuneQuest: Glorantha Bestiary contains almost 200 creatures native to the world of Glorantha or in the spirit worlds adjacent to it. These creatures range from weak to apocalyptically powerful, allowing a RuneQuest gamemaster to choose the right creature to suit any encounter or need.

Entries are divided into Elder Races, creatures of Chaos, monsters, natural animals, dinosaurs, giant or unusual insects, spirit entities, summoned magical beings, and noteworthy plant types. Another chapter, Terrors, describes the most horrific and powerful entities walking the world of Glorantha, such as the enormous Crimson Bat, the three-bodied Chaos horror Cwim, the Chaos gaggle, and the Fiend of Cacodemon.

Each entry is presented in the same format as player adventurers, including attributes, hit locations and armor, weapons and special attacks, skills, languages, magic, and more. Sections in each entry include Myths and History, Subtypes, Description, Culture, Government, Religion, Region of Origin, and more, with adventuring races expanded in considerable detail.

Let your players be Trolls, Centaurs, or a different Intelligent Races!

Non-human species detailed for use as player character adventurers, ranging from multiple types of elves, dwarfs, centaurs, dark trolls and great trolls, all the way to unique Gloranthan species such as intelligent baboons and ducks, dragonewts, Men-and-a-half, trollkin, and Wolfbrothers, complete with their professions, cults, and magic.

Would this work with the new BRP from Chaosium?

MOB from Chaosium here: Many thanks to the 2200 people who downloaded a 'Pay-What-You-Want' copy of the RuneQuest Glorantha Bestiary over the past seven days and made a donation to Australian bushfire relief. Based on messages and feedback from supporters of this initiative, we estimate more than USD$20,000 has been raised for the Australian fire-fighting and recovery effort!

We thought a collection of fantastical creatures was an appropriate choice for this fundraiser, as the bushfires' devastating effect on Australia's unique wildlife is heartbreaking. More than billion Australia animals have perished so far, yet surviving the fires is only the first part of an uncertain future. Fundraising efforts will help look after wildlife while the land recovers.

If you would still like to support Australian bushfire relief efforts, a list of worthy causes is here: http://bit.ly/36UVeLG

Chaosium, kudos to you for this generous and classy action! This is so noble, a company forgoing profits on a new product, and instead asking people donate to help save lives. Thank you!

This act warms my heart and reminds me that loving acts exist in this world. :)

Charities helping the people, animals, and land of Australia, thank you. You and Chaosium and the people in Australia helping others are all heroes! Bless you all!

God bless all of the brave men and women battling those fires!

My heart goes out for all who have suffered loss.

I hope your land will soon find peace.

Hats off to Chaosium for what you have done here! It is an honorable and very commendable act. It is so nice to know that chivalry is not dead in these dark times.

“In this hour, I do not believe that any darkness will endure”...

... ‘You took the chance, sir.' 'Did I so?' said Faramir. 'Yes sir, and showed your quality: the very highest'

Just donated to the NSW fire brigades. Nice and easy to do. Was going to donate to Victoria as well (got several friends living there) but they only take money by bank transfer, it seems, and Japanese banks charge a LOT for those. Chaosium, thanks so much for this! I gave you some money anyway...

I haven't played Glorantha, although I want to at a con this year. So, Bestiary acquired and donation made to Port Mcquarie Koala Hospital. Thank you so much for doing this fundraiser.

My Mrs. had donated to WIRES already, so I have doubled her donation. Excellent idea from Chaosium, and very generous.

As an aside, I was considering buying this anyway, so I chose to pay a bit to Chaosium as well! Excellent product based on a quick flick.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
