Author Description

is everything a player needs to know to play HeroQuest. It contains all of the game's key rules, as well as many tips for creating effective heroes, using the rules to their advantage, and roleplaying in the world of Glorantha without being intimidated by its vast scope and history. Many examples show beginning players how to get the most out of the game. The rules are 32 pages long, but much of that is made up of text explaining attitude and approach. The actual rules are less than half of the text in this section. Another 16 pages each are dedicated to Orlanthi barbarians and Imperial adventurers, with art to enhance and invite the newcomer to share in the Gloranthan vision. Also includes 12 beginning characters (6 Heortling, 6 Lunar) as examples or even for use as players' first heroes, as well as two complete hero bands, ready for the new heroes to join.
