THE UNIVERSITY OF SOG CITY CONFERENCE GUIDE is the background material for the How the West Was One LARP. It contains lots of useful history on Malkionism and the West, as well a guide to Sog City itself, and some notes on the Conference and prominent personalities. 36 pg.
THE BROKEN COUNCIL GUIDEBOOK is the background material for The Broken Council LARP. It's pretty much a whirlwind tour of First Age Glorantha, including the History of the Council, an examination of all the First Age lands of Central Genertela and biographies of all the attendees of the God Project. 36 pg.
In the US (and Canada), I'll be selling them. They are $10 each. If you purchase both guidebooks for $20, you also get a copy of the RuneQuest-Con 2 Program Book, which includes short articles by Stafford, Petersen and others. You should make out checks to "Eric Rowe" and send them to:
RQ Con 2520 Hillegass Ave, #101 Berkeley, CA 94704
In the UK, David Hall will be selling the books, and in Australia, MOB will be. I suspect they'll make announcements about how to purchase them in a month or so, since we have to send them via slow boats.
First, we'll be doing a Post-Con book. This will include transcriptions of as many of the seminars as possible, as well as narratives from the LARPs. To put this book together, I need *YOUR* help. If you were in How the West Was One or the Broken Council (or both!), write down a few pages from your character's point of view, narrating the events of the LARP. Send that narrative my way, either by email, or by posting to the address above, and in return you'll get a *FREE* copy of the Post-Con book.
The narratives don't have to be that long. My writeup for Home of the Bold last year was only 2,500 words, and many were shorter. I would like to get writeups from as many people as possible though! If you'd like to do a narrative, I highly suggest doing so as soon as possible, while the events are still fresh in your mind. The absolute deadline for submissions is February 15th.
At the same time as we release the Post-Con book, I'll probably also put out a 'zine containing the information on the First Age that we discovered but didn't get around to putting into the Broken Council Guidebook. A First Age History of Ralios is definitely planned. I'd like to try and get everything together to do a good history of Arkat, Talar, Harmast and the Gbaji Wars as well, to put a capstone on the Age of the Dawn.
