Here we go again! Session 5 (?) of The Eleven Lights. Slight spoiler alert: the PCs have made an alliance (heroquesting Orlanth Gathers the Fyrd as a this-world-heroquest) with Two Pine and have just crushed Emerald Sword in a battle. But a higher power now demands peace...
Rolistically speaking, 2025 is starting real well with the release of the long-awaited #QuestWorlds, @Chaosium's highly narrative rules system. I've already adapted settings like Star Wars Visions and The Magicians through QuestWorlds, and now I'm itching to create and run more. What will my next game be? #ttrpg #rpg
QuestWorlds rpg is finally available!

Thank you, excellent @ian_h_cooper !
@ian_h_cooper How come you decided to change the Augment bonus in #QuestWorlds to a static +5 instead of the calculated bonus of Attribute/10 as in HeroQuest?
@ian_h_cooper @thegodlearners One of my most engaging podcasts because I'm super interested in playing #questworlds (after a Heroquest #Glorantha game at ChaosiumCon last year! Aaand I'm super interested in QuestWorlds Glorantha and more. I intend to re-listen to the podcast and take notes from just about all parts of the podcast. I love #runequestglorantha and #SpeedRune and can't wait to play #13thage again but in Glorantha. So absolutely agree about mixing it up. Provides max. varying fun!
Kind of excited that @Chaosium's #QuestWorlds seems to be inching closer and closer to an actual release. Enjoyed the @thegodlearners episode on it. https://godlearners.com/episode-30-questworlds-glorantha/
Questworlds last night, we're playtesting the Pioneer Space genre pack - think 1950s golden age of science fiction.
We rescued an orphan, had a bar room fight, saw a vision of black pyramids, chased some bird like aliens with our jet packs,took part in an almighty fight and found out the location of the pyramids.
Thanks very much to @ian_h_cooper as he guides us through the trials and tribulations of his universe!
To conclude, I'd say that associating #MicroscopeRPG and #QuestWorlds was a terrific idea. My players, all new to #ttrpgs had a huge blast. Building a world through that game was exciting to them and the lightness of the #rpg system was liberating in many ways. I'll call that a success.
Now, let's see what #Kingdom gives with #QuestWorlds. Let's already call it QuestDom. Soon... 5/5
As some of you know, I've recently experimented a creative approach to #ttrpg using @benrobbins's #MicroscopeRPG followed by a few #rpg sessions with @Chaosium and @ian_h_cooper's #QuestWorlds. We played on @foundryvtt & #discord.
The worldbuilding session gave a tyrannical scifi world full of cybernetics & my players were very keen on playing an event about the disappearance of the Marathon, a starship that made contact with a new species and that ended up in a very long intergalactic war. 1/5
I've finally managed to run a game of #TheMagicians, a TV show I absolutely love, using @Chaosium and @ian_h_cooper's #QuestWorlds.
That was so much fun! #ttrpg #rpg @foundryvtt
All throughout the month of October, #ClubJdR, my main French place of residency on #Discord, is organizing a #ttrpg event for #Halloween. I'll be running #JohnKovalic's #SeriesPitch for #DramaSystem, #TheDagonBarandGrille, @robindlaws's #CthulhuConfidential, a post Black Death adventure using @PaulBaldowski's #TheDeeSanction / #SanctionRPG and a #TheMagicians hack using @ian_h_cooper & @Chaosium's #QuestWorlds.
Wish my players luck! They'll definitely need it! @foundryvtt @pelgranepress #rpg
The session wasn't very long but gave enough material for our next sessions using @ian_h_cooper & @Chaosium's #QuestWorlds. They want to play during the very beginning of the war with the alien species, in our next session, then go back in time with other PCs and play the dictator's rise to power.
To sum things up, I was really happy to see how the story developped. Everyone left satisfied and craving for more, which is a good sign.
Now we'll see how things go next week. 4/4
Non-prepping up for a mash-up game I've long wanted to moderate and run: "Quest-O-Scope", starting with a session of #MicroscopeRPG then with 3 sessions of #QuestWorlds.
Recruitment is under way, and I'm very looking forward to getting started. More about all that soon. @benrobbins @ian_h_cooper @Chaosium
@AndreasDavour @ian_h_cooper Would be very interested too. I was at the QuestWorlds session this year at ChaosiumCon 2023 (Tx! @ian_h_cooper) and the latest version of QW and Glorantha is among the top of my list for ttrpg wishes and stars - having had a great HeroQuest Glorantha game at the same con. #questworlds
Hier soir, j'ai maîtrisé une partie bien sympathique de #StarWarsVisions avec le système #QuestWorlds. J'ai encore quelques points de règles à assimiler toutefois. #jdr
Yesterday, I ran a fun #ttrpg session of #StarWarsVisions using the #QuestWorlds system, and it was really great. I still need to grab some of the subtleties in the rules though. #rpg #jdr @foundryvtt @Chaosium @ian_h_cooper @robindlaws
Now I know what I'm going to GM in June: a #StarWarsVisions hack using @Chaosium's awesome #QuestWorlds ruleset. I'm sure that will be fun! #StarWars Visions is, in my opinion, what's been best in that franchise in recent years thanks to its narrative and artistic freedom. And that's what I really want to capture with the right group of players. @ian_h_cooper @robindlaws #ttrpg #rpg #jdr
Currently toying with the idea of doing #dungeon23 as a #QuestWorlds project. Not as daft as it sounds since I did publish Ye Little Book of Dungeoneering during the HeroQuest 2nd years ;)
For folks out there who don't know me, I'm one of the authors of the #QuestWorlds #Glorantha campaign sourcebook, "Valley of Plenty." VoP has been unavailable for purchase for some time, but we've decided to release a new edition to roughly coincide with the release of the #QuestWorld rules by #Chaosium. The new book will be much larger and will include a lot of information we left out of the first book. It will also include new scenarios and story seeds for the young Wildlings to confront!
For several years, my favorite #TTRPG has been HeroQuest (now the soon to be released #QuestWorlds) from #chaosium. I've also got a homebrew ruleset that I use off and on. QuestWorlds has a freely available SRD and is a great choice if you like story-first games but still want dice rolls to have an impact on the story. Highly recommended!
