THE COMPANY OF THE DRAGON

Auf die Wunschliste >
Ausgewählte Option:

In the shadow of the Quivini, at the dawn of the Hero Wars, a young Seven Mothers convert began collecting stories of rebel warbands hiding in the wilds of occupied Sartar.

Among these accounts were repeated stories of one particular warband... clanless, tribeless, bound to a draconic spirit of immense power. Some called them traitors and insurrectionists. Others painted them as folk heroes and freedom fighters.

They were called the Company of the Dragon. And some say they helped the Prince of Sartar win her throne.

In this 270-page sequel to the Gold bestselling SIX SEASONS IN SARTAR you will find:

- "Sartar Before the Dragonrise," a land culturally and politically divided under foreign dominion.

- "The Company of the Dragon," a description of the Company, the rebel warbands loyal to Kallyr, and a new system to model large communities, keep them healthy and strong, and lead them into large scale battles.

-"Draconic Consciousness," the teachings of the Dragon Way and a Draconic perspective of the Hero Wars.

-"Characters," rules for creating new protagonists, creating and narrating "character arcs." and a shorthand system for NPCs and antagonists, with over 30 templates for quick NPC design.

-"Initiations," a discussion of this important aspect of Gloranthan religions, with example initiations for martial cults like Orlanth Adventurous, Vinga, Humakt, Babeester Gor, Storm Bull, and the Company of the Dragon.

-"Running the Game," an extensive chapter on building campaigns, with expanded battle and community management rules, new options, and a discussion of gaming in Glorantha.

-"Episodes," more than 160 pages of adventures and adventure seeds that allow you to assemble your own 5-year, 27-season saga, with historical events like "The Battle of Auroch Hills" and "The Dragonrise," as well as all-new stories like "The Dark Lord's Daughter" and "The Changeling."

Written for RuneQuest: Roleplaying in Glorantha, but with support for 13G and Questworlds play.

Usuable as a solo campaign or the sequel to SIX SEASONS IN SARTAR

Winner of the 2022 Greg Stafford Memorial Award for Gloranthan Fandom

I'm quite disappointed to find out that the pdf has no bookmarks at all.

It's also a massive unoptimised file (it's more than twice the size of the Guide to Glorantha pdfs!), and has no internal hyperlinking. The last two can be slightly forgiven for a small publisher, but adding chapter level bookmarks is 5 minutes work, and I'm genuinely shocked to find out this hasn't been done.

The 'in progress' note on the index is also rather insulting for a document that hasn't been updated for 2 years - it's clearly never going to be finished.

The lack of polish and follow up has put me off purchasing anything else by the author. The content might be good, but a oversized un-bookmarked PDF makes it incredibly hard to use as a GM.

This is a fantastic resource, my only suggestion is that the .pdf could be indexed, since it's rather large, jumping to chapters would be really convenient.

Great work, I'm looking forward to running Six Seasons and then this starting very soon. I have two comments though. First, when downloaded using the Drive Thru client, I got all three versions but the "1.2" version was labelled "69135-The_Company_of_the_Dragon_1.pdf" (no ".2") so it wasn't immediately obvious that file was the latest and greatest. Also it would be nice if this had PDF bookmarks like Six Seasons.

Great book! I did notice some spelling errors (i.e. "one the day" instead of "won the day"). Also, it mentions an Ice Demons and Trollkind episode during the Great Winter in Red Hand Pt 2; I don't see those in the episodes lists. Am I blind?

Hi Andrew,
as premium POD prices seem to be scheduled to go up on July 1st:
Any chance to get the POD version out before that? It's been Electrum for two weeks at least, and the PDF seems to be stable as well.
I want it either way, but this may save a lot of your fans some money that we'd _much_ rather send to you. :)
Cheers for your fabulous work!

Hey Venka!

Unfortunately I do not have the software or the skill to prep a book for color print. It is a really difficult process that I get a professional to do for me. To be honest, getting it ready for print is harder than creating the book itself. It is being done now but I cannot say for sure when it will be ready. However, I will try to offer both the standard color (not affected by the price hike) and the premium color (affected by the hike) options. If I cannot do both, I will do just the standard color (I am NOT at all pleased about the price increase). So there will be a reasonably priced hardback available soon.

We would love to have it out before the sale ends, but I am doubtful. It sounds like the process is nearly done, but the cover is being adjusted. Then we submit to DriveThru and they make sure it conforms to all the arcane printing jumbo jumbo I have no comprehension of. But, I am determined to get both a premium and standard color out (the standard color is not affected by the price hike). I have never seen a standard color print, but I am told it looks nearly as good as the premium (on the same paper as well). So we will see.

That all being said, thanks for the message and I am thrilled you are enjoying them!

Hi Andrew,
Thank you, I do understand, and so will everybody else who ever had to submit anything important in printing (such as a Math thesis done in LaTeX).
Don't rush it, then - this will be worth the wait, and the premium print, even at increased prices, to have a copy worthy of the contents.
Cheers again! :D

Just a must. A complete campaign or hundreds of hooks to spice up any campaign you may have in the middle. As well as usable for one shot adventures.

My favorite JC author.

Hey Eric;

Yes. But it is the rule for all Jonstown Compendium products that they are not eligible for POD until they reach Electrum status. Company is still at silver. In general, if people do not buy the PDF, the POD does not get approved. But Company is getting very close and has been approved.

Eingescanntes Buchformat
Diese eBooks wurden durch einen tatsächlichen Scan eines gedruckten Exemplars dieses Buches erstellt; das Ergebnis wurde dann in ein PDF umgewandelt. Jede Seite wurde durch eine Optical Character Recognition (OCR) Software analysiert, um den gedruckten Text zu erkennen. Das Ergebnis des OCR-Vorgangs wurde dann unsichtbar auf den Seiten platziert, damit du den Text durchsuchen kannst. Trotzdem kann es vorkommen, dass Text vor manchen Hintergründen sowie an Handschriften angelehnte Schriftarten nicht von der OCR-Software erkannt wurde - diese Texte können leider nicht durchsucht werden. Ähnliches gilt für einige besonders dicke Bücher, die umgewandelt werden mussten und daher keinen durchsuchbaren Text enthalten. Einige besonders alte und vergriffene Bücher können sogar nur in Form eingescannter Bilder angeboten werden.
