Y naturalmente, tampoco puede faltar la revision para MRQII de la ambientacion de Glorantha en la Segunda Edad desarrollada para el MRQ, que para algo estan pagando esta licencia, junto con el nombre del juego...

La version de la primera edicion la podeis encontrar en esta entrada.

MRQII Glorantha, The 2nd Age Core Book One of the oldest settings of any roleplaying game is back, and more comprehensive than ever! Covering every nation of Glorantha, this book lists the histories, myths and cultures of the world, complete with maps and detailed illustrations that bring the setting to life. Glorantha is a world permeated by magic and shaped by myths. Its heroes achieve power by questing for runes, physical manifestations of the eternal abstract forces that shape its destiny. Eventually they graduate to even more powerful magics, learning to gain power by emulating the deeds of the gods, mastering the arcane formulae of the sorcerous arts, allying with spirits, or achieving meditative awareness of life's unknowable secrets. In doing so, they draw on one or more of the mythic Otherworlds surrounding their everyday material world. With the right magic, they can travel to the realms of the gods, become participants in their ancestral myths, and return with wondrous new abilities. Those who fail these daunting tests may be diminished, destroyed or eternally lost in the mythic realms. Welcome to Glorantha!

MRQII Glorantha, The 2nd Age Cults of the Glorantha In a world where the gods are real and shape the daily lives of their adherents, cults are an everyday necessity for every culture in Glorantha. This book provides the structures, myths and modus operandii for the key human and non-human cults of the Orlanthi, Solar Pantheons, God Learners and EWF. From the barbarian cults of Prax through to the esoteric mysticism of the the draconic orders; from the ancient Storm Tribe to the Saints of the Invisible God. Fully revised and compatible with RuneQuest II, Cults of the Glorantha is an indispensable RuneQuest resource.

MRQII Glorantha, The 2nd Age Races of Glorantha, Vol 1 The first of a series of books describing the appearance, culture, psychology, cults, magic and settlements of the major races of Glorantha. Within these pages you will discover the secrets of the Dragonnewts, Durulz and Trolls: both how to use them as a protagonist and how to play one as an Adventurer. This book includes rules to create Adventurers, equip them and generate interesting backgrounds and scenarios. Carefully updated to be fully compliant with the RuneQuest II rules, Races Of Glorantha Volume 1 is an essential guide to understanding and roleplaying the wonderful creatures of Greg Stafford's amazing world. Races Of Glorantha is an invaluable insight into roleplaying these unique species, bringing greater diversity and depth to campaigns.

MRQII Glorantha, The 2nd Age The Abiding Book The Abiding Book is the most sacred of all God Learner scriptures. Written by the hand of the Invisible God himself it documents the mythical history of the Malkioni, prescribes the nature of worship, truth and heresy, and forms the basis for all sorcery grimoires in use and at large across the Middle Sea Empire. It defines the God Learners; guides them, informs them and sometimes, misleads them. It may be the most powerful accumulation of mythical knowledge anywhere in Glorantha: it may also be the most dangerous. The Abiding Book for Second Age Glorantha is a highly detailed overview of the Middle Sea Empire: its people, its territories and dominions, its hopes, schemes and ambitions, its myths and its magic. Within these pages you will find a wealth of information concerning every aspect of God Learnerism. From descriptions of its great cities through to profiles of its psychology. The nature of sorcery and the empire's approach to it is examined and the book offers more spells, new grimoires and new sorcery orders to fuel God Learner campaigns. With this book you have everything you need to explore the Middle Sea Empire and create compelling God Learner characters.

MRQII Glorantha, The 2nd Age Pavis Rises The city of Pavis is one of the most diverse and impressive colonies of the Empire of Wyrm's Friends, containing communities of elfs, dwarfs, dragonewts and several cultures of men. Its walls are made from the flesh of giants, its magic is strong and its founder is revered as a legendary hero. It is, in all respects, one of the greatest cities of Glorantha. It is about to be turned upside down. Pavis Rises is a collection of linked scenarios that frame the events that transform Pavis from bustling city of wonders to treacherous collection of ravaged streets and war torn peoples. It takes a group of unlikely Gloranthans from a chance meeting at the gates of the city all the way to creating their own place in the city's history.

[NL] MRQII Elric of Melnibone

Como deciamos en la entrada anterior, con el MRQII se hizo una revision de las reglas del sistema de juego, y empezaron a editar de nuevo suplementos y libros de ambientacion, algunas de las cuales, como esta que forma parte de la ambientacion dedicada al Campeon Eterno y a los libros de Michael Moorcock, ya habian editado antes... eso si, revisado, claro.

La version de la primera edicion la podeis encontrar en esta entrada.

MRQII Elric of Melnibone Core Rules Fully updated and revised for RuneQuest II, Elric of Melnibone will transport you to the Young Kingdoms, an eldritch setting providing a wealth of strange places, deadly foes and potent spells for your games. Sail the seas of fate into a demon-haunted world where dragons ride the storm-racked skies and the price of dreams is above rubies. Walk the streets of fabled Elwher, steal the lore of Pan Tang, and cross the Sighing Desert as you quest for eternal Tanelorn. Starting the new Eternal Champion line, Elric of Melnibone takes players to the Young Kingdoms where dragons fly the skies and chaos reigns! A copy of the RuneQuest II rulebook is required.

MRQII Elric of Melnibone Cities of the Young Kingdoms 1: The South Alorasaz: frozen city of fur trappers, loggers and miners, deep in Lormyr's wintery southlands. A peaceful place on the surface, but beneath lurk tensions and fears as two competing families struggle to control Alorasaz's wealth. And what of Castle Kaneloon, standing on the very edge of the world? Does the Lady Myshella not exert an influence over sleepy Alorasaz? Raschil: the bustling, civilised port city of Filkhar, a cosmopolitan place where many nations rub shoulders in the countless taverns and inns. But a city with its own secrets too: why, for instance, has the Queen not been seen for months when, once, she was society's doyenne? Ryfel: built from black granite and mud-brick on Pikarayd's wild and treacherous northern coast: a city of pirates and reavers, and a meeting place for the barbaric clans of the interior. Ryfel attracts the proponents of Chaos and Disorder; sorcerers, murderers and dark cultists; thieves, fugitives and feuding clansmen. Pan Tang holds court here; but are the Pikaraydian chieftains as enthralled as Pan Tang believes them to be? Volume One of 'Cities of the Young Kingdoms' explores three, very different cities of the Young Kingdoms' southern continent. Each city is described in detail with maps, locations, personalities, game statistics and dozens of adventure hooks. The cities can be used as standalone backdrops for Elric of Melnibone games, bases for adventurers, or as part of the mini-campaign that threads between them and joins them together. Welcome to the southern lands...

MRQII Elric of Melnibone Cults of the Young Kingdoms Cults of the Young Kingdoms expands upon the material found in the Cults chapter of the Elric of Melniboné rules. Herein you will find more information concerning the natures of the Lords of the Higher Planes, new cults, new Gifts and Compulsions, new religious approaches and new professions related to them. Essentially, this book is for those Elric Games Masters and characters who wish to immerse themselves in the ways of Law, Chaos, Elements and other supernatural forces abroad in the Young Kingdoms. It aims to extrapolate material from the Elric saga, adding depth to the intrigue Michael Moorcock has created, allowing Games Masters and Players to become greater exponents of the higher powers as they characters struggle to make sense of the world around them.

[NL] Heraldica

La heráldica es la ciencia del blasón (Blasón, según la RAE se define como el «Arte de explicar y describir los escudos de armas de cada linaje, ciudad o persona.»). Es también un campo de expresión artística, un elemento del derecho medieval y de las dinastías reales hasta nuestros días. Más recientemente, ha sido admitida dentro de las ciencias anexas de la historia junto con la sigilografía, la vexilología, la falerística y la diplomática.

La heráldica se desarrolló durante la Edad Media en toda Europa hasta convertirse en un código coherente de identificación de personas, progresivamente incorporado por estamentos de la sociedad feudal como la nobleza y la Iglesia Católica para la identificación de linajes y miembros de la jerarquía, siendo igualmente adoptado por otros colectivos humanos, como gremios y asociaciones, además de ser adoptado para la identificación de ciudades, villas y territorios.

Heraldry of the World The book is devoted to heraldry and talks about its basic concepts.

A Complete Guide To Heraldry A Complete Guide to Heraldry by Arthur Charles Fox-Davies (1871-1928) was originally published in 1909 by T.C. & E.C. Jack. The work has since passed through countless editions and remains in print more than 80 years after its author’s death. That alone could be testament enough to this book’s influence on the lay-person’s study of heraldry. Greater still however is the art the book contains from Graham Johnston, Herald Painter to the Lyon Court. Johnston’s heraldic drawings have become the standard by which modern heraldic devices are measured and a great number of the traditional heraldic depictions seen on the internet today are in fact Graham Johnston’s work, which unfortunately is most often not attributed. The style Fox-Davies uses in constructing his Complete Guide to Heraldry is far from concise, as the text is presented in an often rambling and hap-hazard method. To the serious student of heraldry who braves the tomes 600+ pages will find the result most satisfactory, for in whole, Fox-Davies confers a deeper and wider knowledge of the art of heraldry than could ever be broached in a more ‘concise’ work.

Simple Heraldry Alternately known as Simple Heraldry Cheerfully Illustrated, this little British book was a delight of my teens and twenties; I read it repeatedly out of my local library during those years. Now I've acquired a copy of my own, and it's lost none of its charms. Moncreiffe (and Pottinger, who, although he seems to be billed on the jacket as co-author, is acually the illustrator) gives us an easily understandable, humorously illustrated look at the whole system and science of heraldry, beginning with the why of it ("A man in full armor was unrecognizable") and going on to show the elements of an "achievement" (the whole family device, supporters, motto, and all), the ways in which wives, daughters, and sons differentiate it, how other entities than individuals (everything from realms to corporate bodies) can use coats of their own, and the rules attendant upon description--colors, charges, partitions, and other devices. Anyone who needs to understand the basics of this field can't do better than to begin with Moncreiffe.

An Heraldic Alphabet A most useful dictionary of heraldry and heraldic terms. Those with a casual interest in the subject will find the comprehensive descriptions helpful and will be able to acquire the language of heraldry through them. But the serious student too will find this a useful reference book

English Heraldry Descriptions and explanations which surround Family Crests, Coats of Arms, and their relationship to history are validated in this wonderful addition to the genealogist’s bookshelf. Four hundred and fifty illustrations were drawn with countless hours spent engraving the designs on wooden blocks for printing in this meticulous reference, which has been a source of documentation for over 140 years!

Heraldry, Pageantry and Social Display in Medieval England Medieval culture was intensely visual. Although this has long been recognised by art historians and by enthusiasts for particular media, there has been little attempt to study social display as a subject in its own right. And yet, display takes us directly into the values, aspirations and, indeed, anxieties of past societies. In this illustrated volume a group of experts address a series of interrelated themes around the issue of display. Among the themes are family and lineage, social distinction and aspiration, ceremony and social bonding, and the expression of power and authority. The objects studied include monumental effigies, brasses, stained glass, rolls of arms, manuscripts, jewels, plate, seals and coins.
