> HeroQuest Voices
> A Game Aid For HeroQuest
>
> The rich cultural backdrop of the world of Glorantha has always been one
of
> its greatest strengths, keeping gamers fascinated for over twenty-five
> years. One of the many ways in which this was explored in the former
> RuneQuest game was through short narratives detailing "What My Father Told
> Me" and "What the Priest Says" for major cultures and races. Pithy, often
> witty, and always insightful, these narratives were a popular feature of
> the game and were a quick and easy way to introduce new players to peoples
> and beliefs of this game world.
>
> Now Glorantha is being brought to a new generation of players with the
> impending release of HeroQuest. To accompany the launch, Issaries, Inc.,
is
> bringing out a range of game aids. The most substantial of these is
> HeroQuest Voices, a free PDF book containing introductory narratives for
> all ten homelands described in the rules, as well as for seven other
> peoples and races. This 64-page book will be laid out using the same
format
> and double-page spreads as HeroQuest and other recent releases from
> Issaries, Inc.
>
> Although some of these narratives have appeared before, they have been
> updated to reflect development of the world over the last fifteen years.
> Additionally, project coordinator Nick Brooke has assembled many new
pieces
> written by some of the key Gloranthan authors, including Greg Stafford,
> David Dunham (co-creator of the King of Dragon Pass computer game), and
> Mark Galeotti. They are accompanied by more than two dozen illustrations
> from Gloranthan artists old and new. For more information, see
> <www.HeroQuest-rpg.com/products/3001.html>.
>
> The homelands given voice in HeroQuest Voices are the nomadic Bison
People,
> noble Dara Happans, matriarchal Esrolians, optimistic Esvulari, haughty
> Grazers, rebellious Heortlings, wandering Puma People, chivalrous
Seshnegi,
> proud Tarshites, and easy-going Teshnans. There are also three exotic
human
> cultures (the inscrutable Kralori from the far east, primitive Rathori
> bear-people from the northwest, and shamanic Doraddi from the southern
> continent), as well as four non-human races: the mechanistic Dwarves,
> vegetable Elves, fatalistic Ludoch mermen, and hungry Trolls.
>
> HeroQuest Voices will be a free book in PDF format, available for download
> from the Issaries website <http://www.HeroQuest-rpg.com>, Warehouse 23
> <http://www.warehouse23.com>, and other on-line sources, to coincide with
> the release of HeroQuest, the new game of mythic roleplaying in Glorantha.
