Anyone remember the correct name of the boardgame that first introduced the World of Glorantha?

I think it was White Bear, Red Moon, or something like that. I know I owned a copy at some point.

Google is your friend.

White Bear & Red Moon.

Glorantha

I love the world Glorantha but found the RQ system was rather deadly (I think I lost numerous limbs playing "Apple Lane").

My grandmother who died this year played at least one RQ session with my brother & I when we were kids when she was about 89!

Mount Celestia doesn't want me and Baator's afraid I'll take over.

*chuckles* Ain't that the usual?

Well, I managed to find one of the supplements lying around.

Should be at least one more here- not purchased "first hand"(!)- but most of my other higher-number TBHs are in that "other box", still not rediscovered since the last house move.

Not 110% certain on the others (I think Brette is correct), but the first 32 page "Glossary of Magic" supplement wasn't just recycled material, containing "all the magical items from "THE BEHOLDER" Issues 1 to 10 plus lots of new ideas".

I suspect they didn't sell too many (relative to the later TBH circulation figures) since I never read of any of those being reprinted.

sorry; only one copy, Brette.

(I couldn't really afford to buy two at 50 pence each, back in early 1980...).

The only Beholder supplement I have is also Glossary of Magic. So the other 2 or 3 were adventure compendiums? Any new adventures not previously published? I have a set of Beholders from 1 to 27. Does anyone have an issue past 27?

Aha! That's more like it...

No; none beyond that sort of number that I recall, I'm afraid. (And you're into A4 format with those, no? *tries to remember*).

Certainly two other adventure compendiums. If there's a third, I've not seen that.

I was really after two other items from the seller and decided to add "Cities" into the mix.

I got this one-

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... RK:MEWN:IT

But, my snipe didn't go through here :evil:

. It probably got jammed up with other shooters :lol:

. Most likely an incomplete set, or possibly the second print set that has fewer cards? I've never held or counted a "street addressed" set of Tac's, so I was just shooting in the dark anyway.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... RK:MEWA:IT

David, I believe you have a 2nd print set (iirc). If so...how many cards are there?

yeah my bid didnt go on for some reason too - i put it on with 15 seconds to go and ebay decided to do one of them "oh i will take my time to update" moments and it came up with "auction has ended".

my bid was $90

Like I said, couldn't be bothered, Mike.

(Although that was- and still is- on my "wish list", too).

The seller was being a bit of a pain, including being rather unhelpful in response to my questions on that incomplete set of Tac Cards.

(I eventually deduced there wasn't a cover card from their half-answers and silences).

Their loss $-wise...

Same number as there were when Ian opened the pack. Will try to find the post...

(I understood they'd likely be 3rd print, given the JG addy).

I believe there were 140 cards in that deck.

This week I've been mostly eating . . . The white ones with the little red flecks in them.
