We talk to another Scott this month for our Initiation Series. This one was recorded back in November 2021, which is why we still mention the very imminent release of the RuneQuest Starter Set.

Scott is a newcomer to Glorantha who couldn’t wish for better guides to navigate Strike Ranks and Sartarite tribes.

Some of the things mentioned in this episode include:

• D&D BECMI
• RuneQuest 2
• Bud’s RPG Review YouTube channel
• Pookie’s Reviews From R’lyeh blog
• The RuneQuest Quickstart (free in PDF), which contains the adventure “The Broken Tower”
• The Glorantha Sourcebook and the giant Guide to Glorantha
• The King of Dragon Pass video game
• Wyrm’s Footnotes
• The Duckduckgo search engine (Ludo’s primary search engine!)

And now, for some super professional links to Scott’s many places:

• HailOrcusdorkus on Twitter
• Orcusdorkus’ RPG Shenanigans YouTube channel (including his “completely unprofessional unboxings”)
• The Titterpigs podcast (with Keith, from Rollingboxcars)
