New for Chaosium‘s RuneQuest Classic series – Sun County is a Gloranthan campaign supplement for RuneQuest’s 3rd edition, first published in 1992. This fully remastered version is available now from DriveThruRPG in three formats:

• PDF (which of course didn’t exist in 1992)
• Soft cover with B&W interior, like the original version;
• and a new special hard cover version with color interior, thanks to talents of Chaosium ‘head of nostalgia’ Rick Meints and community ambassador/guru Nick Brooke.

RPG historian Shannon Appelcline (Designers & Dragons) has written a new foreword for the book. In it he describes how Sun County was “an instant classic” on release. It ushered in a short-lived but brilliant ‘RuneQuest Renaissance” for the game’s third edition, with a further five well-regarded Gloranthan titles released from 1992-1995 under the creative auspices of ‘Rune Czar’ Ken Rolston. Shannon also notes that such is Sun County‘s influence on Gloranthan creators, the themes and settings of the “RuneQuest Renaissance” are still strongly reflected today in Chaosium’s Jonstown Compendium community content program.
