HeroQuest & Hero Wars: Role-Playing in Glorantha

RuneQuest RPG: RQ III

[and some RuneQuest RPG: RQ II reissues/compilations]

Campaigns, Adventures & Sourcebooks

those by Avalon Hill are for RQ III;
those by Issaries are for Hero Wars (adventures for HeroQuest having yet to appear);
The background information all contain applies generally to Glorantha, suitable for all versions of the rules, so far as I have been able to discover, save for Monster Coliseum & for Vikings, which are "real world historical" - though of course plunderable for fantasy worlds.
Some RQ II material is now being reissued - very nicely, but not cheaply - I've been obtaining these to customer order only, in the absence of a current RuneQuest/etc. II RPG Rulebook; please e-ask v$imt$v at my domain, i-m-t.demon.co.uk (spelled out to reduce the rate at which the current e-address for I.M.T. is picked up and sold to e-mail list "spammers"). [RQ 4th Edition & RQ II Campaigns, Adventures & Sourcebooks are listed in the 4E & IIE sections above;
