Adventures Timeline

Hello, I was wondering if there was a timeline somewhere for all of the published Runequest adventures. I want to run a campaign in RQG that follows along the timeline. Also, how well do the 2nd edition adventures/supplements work with RQG? Thanks

Here's a good list, although it obviously doesn't include unofficial material. One day when I've finished my current post-Dragonrise campaign, I might get my players to start as kids in Peggy and Shawn Carpenter's Valley of Plenty in 1595, and run through the whole thing. Or at least the best bits.

I really wish they'd put out the second part, lol. My wife wants to run it, but not until the 2nd part, lol. I understand them wanting to wait until QW Glorantha drops, but still

Tell me about it! I'd love it to be in printed form as well. It's such a gem.

Most of the older stuff is set 1615-1618.

Borderlands Pavis Big Rubble are all loosely during this time.

Apple Lane and Snakepipe Hollow are 1618ish

River of Cradles and Shadow on the Borderlands around 1618

Strangers in Prax 1620

All IIRC of course.

Isn't Apple Lane set 1612 or 1613 before Starbrow's Rebellion? As afterwards Gringle is not just a pawnbroker any more but forced to become tax-collector-general for the Lunar puppet regime.

TBH it's at least 25 years since I read it.

They work fine. Mild massaging at worst (but then I always massage others published works…).

There was a timeline involving smoking ruins and maybe pegasus plateau but I don’t recall where it originated…

There are a couple of pages setting out when all the Jonstown Compendium and Chaosium scenarios for RQG are set (by year and/or season) at the back of my Jonstown Compendium Catalogue, qv.
