What The Critics Say

  • “A powerful follow up to The Lightbringers. While the first book is a splendid onramp to the wonders of the various Cults for new players and GMs, The Earth Goddesses is where you really get the sense that the writers decided to really showcase the grandeur and depth of the fictional mythology at the heart of the game.”t

    — Philgamer, Cults of RuneQuest: The Earth Goddesses Review.

  • “As a new-ish GM to RuneQuest, I was worried that I would never be able to "get" the setting. This series of books is making sure I will, and that I fall in love doing so.”

    — Jay Anyong, Twitter.

  • "These are not simply splat books meant to give player characters kewl new powers and endless buffs (the trap so many other games fall into). There are skills and spells in here, but this is a series primarily about world building."

    — Andrew Logan Montgomery, The Cults of RuneQuest Part Three: The Earth Goddesses.

  • “5/5 – The Earth Goddesses is a rock-solid release (pun intended), which lays the foundation for more mythic adventures exploring the Earth religion in Glorantha… a valuable addition to your shelf, and heartily recommended.”

    — AKHELAS, REVIEW: The Earth Goddesses .

  • "In this day and age, RuneQuest‘s best bet is in emphasising the distinct and unique flavour of Glorantha and these books do a wonderful job with it... Though much of the material here was developed before his death by Greg Stafford, the job of finishing the project has fallen to Jeff Richard, who has made it a labour of love, along with a wealth of collaborators, including artists who’ve made some of the nicest and most flavourful-looking art I’ve ever seen in a RuneQuest book."

    — Refereeing & Reflection, a RuneQuest Encyclopedia.

  • The new 'Cults of RuneQuest' Lightbringers and the Earth Goddesses books come HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, says EuroCultAV: "Glorantha is probably the most fully realized RPG world ever created, and these books help actualize that realization in new ways. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED"

    — EuroCultAV, Tabletop Review – Runequest – Cults of Runequest – The Lightbringers/Earth Goddesses.

  • "This book is a *must* for running RuneQuest campaigns in the Dragon Pass area and adjacent lands."

    — El Runeblogger, Cults of RuneQuest: The Earth Goddesses review.

  • "Extremely useful... one of the other draws is just how beautiful it is. The art in the book is stunning and it is some of my favourite art I have seen in tabletop roleplaying game full stop."

    — The Gaming Table., Cults of RuneQuest: The Earth Goddesses review.

  • “Cults of Runequest The Earth Goddesses is going to be a staple of any gaming group, if not because of playing an Earth cultist directly, then because of their relationship with the Storm pantheon in a husband-protector aspect. Not having this book means players and gamemasters alike are missing out on a lot of useful and important information that will help their characters in the upcoming Hero Wars… It’s also surprisingly interesting to read just to read if you are really into Gloranthan mythology as it really helps one understand the credo of the pantheon which in turn helps people who want to create their own, spin off cults.”
