Issue 2 should be with you just before XMAS.

Gloranthan games for Furnace 2008

Thursday, September 4th, 2008

I’m involved in organising the games at Furnace a small RPG convention held 18-19th October in Sheffield UK.

I’m trying to sort out a ‘Gloranthan Games’ track, which basically means that we have at least one Gloranthan game in each of the five slots, so if someone wants to come play in Glorantha all weekend or try out at least one game they can. I don’t mind what system is used.

So far I have three games

Rumble in the Rubble a game for HeroQuest 2
The Great Duck Point Boat Race
The Tomb of the Empty Emperor a D100 game

So I need a couple more GMs at least to reach my goal. More would be great! I’ve also got a small library of prewritten con adventures that people can run if they don’t want to write their own.

If you are interested get in touch with me at mrnewt@gmail.com

Welcome

Thursday, September 4th, 2008

So this is it the Hearts in Glorantha blog.

Why?

A number of reasons really.

  • Somewhere I can give updates on the how the ‘zine is coming together
  • Post some of the cool artwork as a preview
  • Post some of my thoughts about Gloranthan gaming in general
  • Tell you about other Glorantha related stuff I’m upto, such as the home and convention games I run.

See as an extended ‘editorial/preview’ with a side order or related personal stuff that wouldn’t make it into the ‘zine.

As time goes on some of the regular contributors may also post here.
