Cups of Clearwine
Publisher: Chaosium

Firstly, a declaration. I game with the authors, and indeed was responsible for introducing Runequest to at least two of them, but I was not involved in the production of this work (not even by allowing them to pinch NPCs from my game).

This is a gazeteer to a lower middle class area of the City of Clearwine (although it could easily be adapted to any other city in a similar setting). It contains listings for 24 (25 including a visitor from the lower class area) human NPCs, one trollkin, and one wolf, and a setting with 12 buildings, including a popular wine bar.

There is 1 detailed urban adventure with political overtones to challenge the non-combat heroes, and many plot hooks for further adventures. Also useful is a listing of goods available and prices which might be paid.

The main value, to my mind, is the sense of feeling for the setting, helping your immersion in the setting, even if you never use it. And I think you will!

Stalingrad Ruins - Set I

Nice set of ruined buildings. Loses a star for scaling issues- they are sold as 100%=15mm scale, but that's clearly not the case- a 15mm miniature would bang his head walking into the factory, which obviously shouldn't be the case. Would probably be ideal for 10mm, and useable for 6mm, or scale to 144% for real 15mm miniatures. Good value for money, despite this.

The Dregs of Clearwine
Publisher: Chaosium

First, a declaration of interest- Beer with Teeth play in my RuneQuest, and as they've borrowed one of my House Spells, I get an acknowledgement, but no money has changed hands (I barely even get a cup of tea off them while I GM!)

That said, I can heartily recommend this guide to the low class area of the City of Clearwine, although it can easily be used with minimal adaptation to most Sartarite cities, with a bit more work outside Sartar, and even (if you can survive without Ducks) outside RuneQuest.

What is it?

A nicely detailed write up of the sub areas, main inhabitants, and relationships of this poor area, with fully statted and motivated key NPCs, with relationships between them detailed, to say nothing of the superb artwork by Kristi Herbert. Each sub area has plot hooks, which should allow most groups to be drawn into the possibilities of the street level game. There is one more developed plot, which I haven't looked at, in case I get spoilered.

What isn't it?

Because your Glorantha Will Vary, it is assumed you as GM should be able to tailor the plot hooks into stories for your group, and suiting your campaign. They are not fully developed, but that is not the intent of this book.

Why should you get it?

Because you never know when you'll find your players hiding in a slum, and it's handy to have a ready made slum ready to drop them into. It may even be in Clearwine. And Devolin may even have a cunning plan to get them out of there.....

An excellent piece. The combination of bleak existential horror (the great purge) combines well with theMythos
