Awesome book that I strongly urge every GM (and player) to purchase and use!

It's a great resource not only in its own right, but also for the inspiration it should give to both players and GMs. I note that while many spells are very similar, they are also just different enough to be flavourful and would encourage players to think about when spending their precious MPs or RPs... (of course, you can always have all of them :p)

The skill ideas are great also (although, getting all of those skills up to a useable level... sheesh!), and the information/ideas for ships and buildings should have been mentioned in the RQ:G (although, hopefully, will show up in the long-awaited CM's Companion/Campaign or whatever it's going to be called book).

I really can't wait for rundowns on the sub-cults to go with the new spells (and, maybe, skills). One thing I really took note of is how much information that's not in the current RQ world has been brought in from other Glorantha sources - something I'm really hoping will happen in future official publications.

The one thing that stops me from giving it 5 stars (and this can change - and hopefully will soon!) is that there is sooo much stuff (espeically the spells), and not all of them are listed in what might be their most logical place, that it desperately needs an index grouping all spells (of type - and maybe even of Rune), skills, etc together, and not just a single Table of Contents. This is important because a number of spells and skills are in places that don't quite make sense on first check - eg, Divert Flood is listed under the Air Rune (but, doesn't have an Air Rune in its elements). Similarly, spells which have multiple Runes are mentioned only once (and, as per the Divert Flood, not even under those corresponding Runes). Although this is quite rare, I think it's important to point out for those new to the game. ( I get that re-writing them in all the various related places would add extra - probably unnecessary - space. Hence the need for an index) I'm still super glad I bought this!!!!!
