What The Critics Say

  • “A ‘must-have’… Not only is it easy to read, but the colors and vivid illustrations are all powerful and attention-grabbing.”

    — Philgamer, Cults of RuneQuest: The Lightbringers Review.

  • "The harmony of playable content and clean presentation make this the strongest release I’ve read from Chaosium in years—possibly ever... A beautiful, engaging book which admirably stands as an exemplar that tabletop games qualify as art."

    — Akhelas, REVIEW: The Lightbringers.

  • "If Cults of Prax was a phenomenal publication in its time [it was, ed.], Cults of RuneQuest: The Lightbringers surpasses it both in content and presentation. You will love it."

    — El Runeblogger, Cults of RuneQuest: The Lightbringers review.

  • "This is a big book...in the territory it covers and the ideas it presents. RuneQuest was arguably the first game out there that ever seriously gave attention to religion, mythology, and magic and The Lightbringers keeps that legacy going."

    — Andrew Logan Montgomery, THE CULTS OF RUNEQUEST PART TWO, The Lightbringers.

  • "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.

  • "Jaw-droppingly stunning"t

    — The Gaming Table, Cults of RuneQuest: The Lightbringers Reviews.

  • "10 out of 10, I think it is that good... this is the sort of pantheon book all fantasy roleplaying systems should release for their games."

    — Jeff McAleer, the Gaming Gang, Cults of RuneQuest: The Lightbringers Review.

  • “So, we have 144 pages’ worth of information on 20 different deities. If that isn’t enough to whet your appetite on top of what can already be found in the RuneQuest [core rules], then maybe RuneQuest simply isn’t for you. Or you’re a Lunar sympathizer. Or a secret worshipper of Chaos.”

    — Chaosiana, CULTS OF RUNEQUEST – THE LIGHTBRINGERS Review.
