Here are some general thoughts and essays on Glorantha, and some rules extensions for RuneQuest. There is more information on Prax, developed for the Yellowtail campaign.

• Elfsense and Elf pyschology: how the extra ability of Elfsense affects how elves view the world.

• A Rune-based Divine Magic system: an attempt to bring some flexibility and sophistication to the RuneQuest rune magic system.

• How Ozur Dragonfriend got his name: fiction from a not-quite-Gloranthan campaign.

• The new Yelmalio spell of Indomitability.

• Why Chaos is a cop-out for Gloranthan writers.

• Some tips on how to run heroquests and two sample quests:
  • How Stars-Not-Shine became a shaman
  • The Cleansed Ones hear the Voice of the River

• Some of my writings have been published by the Unspoken Word, a Gloranthan fanzine and independent publishing house. Rush's Bachelors are a hero band that didn't make it into the Thieves' Arm issue. On my page, you can find some extra snippets for the Furthest Shadow War, the climax scenario in the Thieves' Arm.

• Some real-life woodcuts similar to those in the Orlanthi players books for Hero Wars.
