THE WORD
A Runequest Campaign set in Glorantha as run by Devin Cutler from 1985 to 1994

The Word campaign was started by me in college at USC during my junior year. The participants were many and the characters even moreso, but I feel the campaign was unique in both its length and in the scope of its tread across the face of Glorantha. Plotlines laid down by me in 1985 were germinated and sometimes not brought into fruition until 6-7 years later. Sadly, the campaign came to a halt just as the party was in Dorastor about to go up against the Tower of Lead and their arch-nemesis Voskal the Vampire Elf. The hard drive on my Macintosh died, and it took with it thousands of hours of work I had done for the campaign, including various extremely involved quests that the party had yet to encounter. This calamity, along with the obvious death-throes of the Runequest game as a roleplaying system, killed the campaign dead in its tracks.

Recently, I uncovered some dusty three-ring spiral notebooks that contained many of my notes, tables, and scenarios for the campaign. These were all scenarios that the players had run through, and they pretty much stop at around the 1992 era, but I have the pleasure of presenting them here for the rememberance of my players and for the use by current GMs running Gloranthan campaigns. What is presented is a polyglot of scenarios, notes, NPCs, and even wandering encounter charts. They are variously designed for RQ2 and RQ3, and no attempt has been made to update old material. They are being presented as played in the campaign.

I have divided the RQ material into 3 categories:

  1. Campaign Notes and other GM material
  2. Charts and NPCs
  3. Player-Originated Materials
  4. Scenarios

You are invited to use any of these and to update them into RQ3, Gloranthan RPG system, or any other gaming system. Please however, make sure I am credited as the author if these are posted or published in any way.
