Tortured Souls! #9 ~ Beast Enterprises Limited (May, 1986)

Orcs spill out of their siege tower to take the walls of another city (Paul Bonner, RuneQuest 3e campaign supplement Griffin Island, GW, 1987)

Orc siege tower rumbles toward the enemy walls (Paul Bonner’s Warhammer-style orcs, transplanted to RuneQuest campaign supplement Griffin Island, GW, 1987)

Griffin Island, GW’s 1987 version of Avalon Hill’s 1986 wilderness adventure campaign supplement for 3rd ed RuneQuest, both revised and expanded from Chaosium’s 1981 Griffin Mountain (Angus Fieldhouse cover art).  “Griffin Mountain” remains a location that can be found on Griffin Island.  This campaign exists outside RQ’s original setting of Glorantha, and orcs are a major faction on the island instead of trollkin and broo.

This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we run to the border…lands. OK, never mind, I’ll leave the jokes to Hambone. For real: this week we’re talking about the RuneQuest box set Borderlands (1982), an excellent campaign about getting a job and doing it well. There’s no real narrative arc, no cackling villain, no dark plot. Stuff happens and the players take care of it, but the real point of Borderlands is to build and maintain a home in a strange land, a pretty unusual concept, then and now!
