Chaosium Returns To Its Mythic Fantasy Setting ‘Dragon Pass’ In New Player/DM Book
The Lands of RuneQuest: Dragon Pass is a new book from Chaosium that marks a return to one of the most mythic fantasy settings ever developed.
For a certain kind of gamer, the words “Dragon Pass” will conjure up a whole other era. Back before the Call of Cthulhu, before the knights of Pendragon rode boldly across Camelot, there was the world of Glorantha. Created by gaming legend Greg Stafford, Glorantha was a world originally developed and explored in the 1975 board game White Bear and Red Moon.
White Bear and Red Moon was a fantasy wargame/board game that took place on the world of Glorantha. A land where the mighty Lunar Empire warred with the barbarian nation of Sartar. When Stafford couldn’t get a publisher to bite on this game that was as much a depiction of a world as it was a wargame, he started his own company, The Chaosium. The rest is history. And a lot of editions of RuneQuest.
And now, Chaosium returns once more to the realm of Dragon Pass with a new book. Lands of RuneQuest: Dragon Pass, that promises “bronze age fantasy” and mythic heroes.
