A Rough Guide to Glamour is your indispensible companion for any visit to the capital city of the greatest empire the world of Glorantha has ever known!

This 111-page book contains:

A comprehensive map, gazetteer and guidebook detailing the capital of the Lunar Empire;
Portraits and descriptions of eleven Very Important People who can be encountered there, including Moonson, the Red Emperor, and the Lunar hero Jar-eel the Razoress;
A description and map of the Sultanate of the Silver Shadow, the throbbing heart of the empire;
Sweeping overviews of the geography and history of the Lunar Empire;
RuneQuest writeups for the cults of the Red Emperor, the immortal wizard-ruler of the Lunar Empire, and the goddess Glamour, the humble nymph who became the First Inspiration of Moonson;
Insights into the secrets of Kalikos Icebreaker, the Lunar College of Magic and the Imperial Monopolies of the Etyries cult;
Never-republished supporting material from the legendary fanzine Tales of the Reaching Moon;
Rumours, fiction, poetry, and more besides!
This is a thoroughly revised and expanded edition of the original Rough Guide to Glamour, written by Chris Gidlow, Mike Hagen, Nick Brooke, Michael O’Brien, Jeff Richard, Greg Stafford and friends, lavishly illustrated by Dario Corallo, Simon Bray, Julie Hudson and other artists.

Foreword by Jeff Richard, Creative Director of Chaosium Inc.

A Rough Guide to Glamour was first published as a players’ background book supporting Reaching Moon Megacorp’s Life of Moonson, a 50-player live-action role-playing game that debuted in 1997 and ran in the United States, Europe and Australia.

Revised & Expanded?
The 1998 edition of the Rough Guide to Glamour contained 29,000 words. We have cut out a third of the book: sections either reprinted in or made redundant by the Glorantha Sourcebook and sections primarily written to support the freeform Reaching Moon Megacorp’s Life of Moonson . So there are 20,000 words from the old Guide remaining.

The Jonstown Compendium edition of the Guide contains more than 50,000 words.

Most major sections are significantly expanded . We have incorporated material from the Guide to Glorantha , from Tales of the Reaching Moon , and from the epic Yolanelathon . There is a new 4,000 word writeup of the Cult of Glamour by Jeff Richard, plus obscure rumours, fragments and oddities scattered throughout .

If you liked the original Rough Guide to Glamour, we think you’ll like this version even more!
