Included are Pavis/Big Rubble, Griffin Mountain, Cult Compendium (which is Cults of Prax, Cults of Terror, the gods from Trollpak and a few other sources), and Borderlands & Beyond.<br /><br />Very much worth it to me but no, you're not going to play RQ with just these books.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00155926145150934199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-78269636151991516282010-08-28T04:11:30.728-04:002010-08-28T04:11:30.728-04:00Okay, so are all these products adventures/scenari...Okay, so are all these products adventures/scenarios kind of stuff, or do any of these have the original (well, 2nd edition) RuneQuest rules in them, too?CChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01562099987619723930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-12737978918820493132010-08-26T22:49:05.333-04:002010-08-26T22:49:05.333-04:00Hello all,

Yes, there are cheaper PDFs out there, and I understand some people are on tight budgets. That said, $20 for 300 pages of awesome rpg material seems like a fair price to me. I looked around drivethru before setting the price on these and saw Chaosium's "Beyond the Mountains of Madness" pdf for over $50, Most of Mongoose's RQ 150 page books going for $15, Alderac's 160 pagers going for $15, Cubicle 7's books at about a penny a page, etc. so I thought I was pricing fairly. <br /><br />I guess one person's fair price is just gouging to another.<br /><br />Regardless, thank you for the feedback. I appreciate it.Rick Meints - Chaosiumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04256174944047814981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-74683655230789757132010-08-26T13:30:57.313-04:002010-08-26T13:30:57.313-04:00Great!

One year from now it would be really interesting to see who bought those for those prices, and if they had a history with glorantha.<br /><br />Personally my limit for PDF is $10, and then it has to be good.

As for the price, I couldn't scan, even with a Konica Minolta professional model, even one of these books in the time it takes me to earn US$60--which I'll probably recover by their sale.Jay Duggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10181402451119462976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-65813198370709199232010-08-26T02:57:21.128-04:002010-08-26T02:57:21.128-04:00For $20 apiece, I expect something I can hold in m...For $20 apiece, I expect something I can hold in my hand!
