Glorantha is one of the two or three oldest settings associated with roleplaying, with its earliest origins in the 1960s. Its primary author was Greg Stafford. It was developed mostly through the games RuneQuest and Hero Wars/Hero Quest.

Runequest: Roleplaying in Glorantha Sessions 6 & 7
My duet buddy and I have played another two sessions of Runequest: Roleplaying in Glorantha. We agree that last session constituted a huge step forward in our game. This didn’t emerge ex nihilo. Dialog here at Adept Play laid the groundwork for it, and conversation with my fellow player helped us recognize it. But we accessed the…

Runequest: Roleplaying in Glorantha Sessions 4 & 5
Another two sessions of Runequest: Roleplaying in Glorantha, and things are getting bloody and wild. We spent a good amount of time going through the game’s seasonal experience system. I appreciate how the “Between Adventures” procedures require zooming out, letting the wheel of the seasons turn forward, and watching the characters in lower-stakes situations like work,…

Character Creation as Play
I'm contemplating a game of Runequest: Roleplaying in Glorantha. The core book alone is vast, a whole geography of world and system, and I have never played in Glorantha before. I sat down to try character creation. It took me two sessions, over two nights. I was surprised by how intense and rewarding I found…

My character was a Narcissistic black horse troop lieutenant. He ended up being gay, which we decided…

Me and my Maria have lived together since 1994… and never celebrated Easter together. We have two kids (12 and 16 years old) … and never celebrated Easter together. (except…

Ethnicity in Glorantha
As part of my recent swim-about in the internets of Glorantha and its associated games, my friend Nick Brooke and I had the chance to mix it up a little! It’s regarding the long-standing interpretations of human ethnicities in Glorantha, including those which made it into published form One of the setting’s claims to fame…

Presentation: Why Glorantha (and its games)
I’ve finally realized how regularly people ask me to explain RuneQuest, HeroQuest, the Chaosium, and Glorantha, specifically because they’ve bounced hard off the apparently extensive setting and apprently impenetrably insider-oriented fanbase. It’s usually private, and they often present the question as if it’s their last fatigued try at finding out what “there” is there. After…
