2026-05-11 20:37:24-04:00 - Chaosium's QuestWorlds arrived today!
This is a hardcover, with sewn signatures with their backs embedded in glue on the spine backing, and it is 6×8.5 inches. While I like the size, the fonts used in this book are much too small, and I'd rather have had a thicker book or a regular 8.5×11 inch book. (What is with Chaosium and absurdly small fonts lately? Both the *Basic Roleplaying: Universal Game Engine* and *Basic Roleplaying: Creatures* books have had unpleasantly small fonts.) The paper is not BRP:UGE's thicker cream, but a thinner plain white, and the book is printed in black and white. I don't mind the black and white printing, but I would have liked the thicker cream paper better. Oddly enough, in light of the plain white paper used, the book incorporates a ribbon bookmark, which I like. While published by Chaosium, it is copyrighted by Moon Design Publications, LLC. It is licensed under the ORC license.
I have followed the development of what is now QuestWorlds from its beginnings as the system for the Glorantha RPG *Hero Wars* from Greg Stafford's Issaries, Inc., through its incarnations as *Mythic Russia* and *HeroQuest, so I'm glad to have a copy of this edition of *QuestWorlds*.
