Tradetalk 13: Outside Genertala - The Islands



Tradetalk # 13 - Outside Genertela: The Islands

This is the thirteenth issue of Tradetalk¸ a fanzine dedicated to Glorantha¸ Hero Wars and RuneQuest. The dead-tree version was published in January 2004 by The Chaos Society.

Five separate island cultures from around the world of Glorantha are described in this issue. The Vadeli¸ and Jrustela from an Uz perspective are the most detailed¸ but the Amazon island of Trowjang (beautiful female warrior culture)¸ and the Monster Island (think King Kong island) are also very nice idea to visit.

This issue will greatly enhance a sailors campaign (as the "Men of the Sea" setting for HeroQuest)¸ and will be perfect for some adventures on the way while player characters/heroes make their way from one setting to another by ship.

Please have a look at other Tradetalk issues as well:
Tradetalk # 14 "Outside Genertela: The Southern Continent" is a theme issue about Pamaltela¸ but mostly about the coastal regions¸ which also can be used to enhance sailing campaigns with adventure opportunities.
