Hope some company actually comes through with this as the Ebay market is ridiculous.

Its a neat, if complicated game. I really enjoy the rich details packed into the game.<br /><br />When they made the 25th Anv. game, I also nabbed it. For good or bad, they made major changes to the setting - more so with the map, do to a cataclysm! The newer version also came with a CD full of backstory and production history (I loaded it in my <a href="http://www.scribd.com/Zen%20Darkstar" rel="nofollow">Scribd account</a>). In this Rahman adds new locations (scenic hexes and towns), and plenty of new heroes - many of them are based on well known archetypes!<br /><br />The <a href="http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/DivineRightGame/" rel="nofollow">DR mail group</a> list some files that expanded the setting with the Scarlet Empire! This is official martial by Glenn Rahman. This not just new rules and units, but additional land south of the main map.<br /><br />I remember reading that each hex is about 50 something miles across, so there is a lot to find in any given area! Imagine, each hex could be its own little <i>Keep on the Borderland</i>!Malcadonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03111796978336546944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652921.post-20738344651401445682010-08-02T18:24:46.503-05:002010-08-02T18:24:46.503-05:00You should check out: http://www.inkwellideas.com/...You should check out: http://www.inkwellideas.com/roleplaying_tools/hexographer/index.shtml . <br /><br />Hexographer is a nifty little mapping tool that runs in Java, makes hex mapping WAY easy, and hex maps like that above have always got my creative juices flowing, :D.<br /><br />Nice article too, :).Gmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13908111213420284921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652921.post-3299528086884060892010-08-02T17:30:17.420-05:002010-08-02T17:30:17.420-05:00Thanks for posting this and special thanks for you...Thanks for posting this and special thanks for your observations, great ideas indeed.<br />In fact I think you may have helped make my mind up. For a few weeks now I've been kicking around ideas for a Mongoose Runequest II game but wasn't feeling like using Glorantha. Even dug up my old Questworld in search of a setting to build on, but Questworld's Map, while pretty, just wasn't calling up the muse. <br />This map on the other hand may just be the inspiration I was looking for.GrayPumpkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12776658442266878498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652921.post-84926722068670436502010-08-02T17:16:24.390-05:002010-08-02T17:16:24.390-05:00Great post.
