I'm assuming they had the licence originally, so did one of you approach them with the idea? Or were they the ones that approached you to design it?Though for some reason I've got a bit of a feeling that this is another case of "the industry was much smaller back in those days".
sauromatian wrote:Just saw an ad in Dungeoneer #12 for Snakepipe Hollow. It is described as a 32-page book which includes Broken Tree Inn. As published, SPH is a 48-page Chaosium Glorantha scenario, while BTI is a 48-page Judges Guild Gateway product.Nevertheless, the Gloranthan feel is still present in BTI; upon examination the two scenarios fit together pretty well in terms of geography & setting. Any recollection of how the two were originally conceived as a single area? For instance, how would the inhabitants of SPH interact with those of BTI?
Finally, does 'Snakepipe Hollow' represent a skate park? After asking around a bit [I'm not a skater myself] someone told me that in the 1970s, ramps such as snakepipes were more common because skateboarders hadn't yet developed all the various jumping-type moves popular today.

Do you still own Glorantha?
Do you have a hand...
or at least a stake...in the new Runequest publications?

I presume that you have some sort of authority to make corrections or at least review publications having to do with Glorantha.
I can imagine a situation where something un-Gloranthan might be created by a writer who is not carrying the history of the world in his head.

Center_Stage_Hobbies wrote:Hi, Greg...I too have a question.
For awhile, Ral Partha had a license to manufacture the RuneQuest miniatures. Did you not like them, or was there some other reason the line was so short-lived?
It would be interesting if Iron Wind Metals (what used to be Ral Partha) could produce them again, or at least "re-release" the existing RuneQuest line of figures.
Just wondering what your thoughts were.Thanks in advance!

Was browsing around on your Pendragon site
and spotted a reference to "CHA2715, Castle of Bones (cancelled)" in your list of official Pendragon publications.Having never heard of that one, I'm now curious what topics it was supposed to cover (eg. was it going to be another set of adventures, ala Spectre King, or was it going to be another regional sourcebook?) and why, in the end, it was never published.
