Six Ages and King of Dragon Pass are just great weird games. Glorantha is just a delightful setting that goes with an iron/bronze age vibe rather than the typical medieval feel. Plus there are duck people. Duck people.

So glad you covered this game! Discovered A# back in the 90s with the original KoDP release and have loved Glorantha forever. Hope this gets them some love because that studio is ridiculously underappreciated. Every person on this project is a fan and most part creators of the Glorantha setting. A true labor of love across 3 decades.

I've been getting into RuneQuest: Roleplaying in Glorantha, the 6th edition of that venerable tabletop RPG, but I was having some trouble understanding the setting. It was actually with Six Ages that I really cracked the nut and figured things out. So glad this is out there. ...Now if I can just get RuneQuest to my table, as I'm not a huge video game player, but I love my tabletop.

Not my kind of game, but I'd watch you play this for hours, Splat. Shit's interesting as hell

The game sits still till *I do something* ? Now that is more my speed. I need to check this game and the previous games out. My wallet wants to thank you again for helping it loose some inches.

Take time to consider the options, when the events pop up. Many times you appeared to simply choose the first option, without giving a seconds thought to the implications. those rushed choices often were detrimental for your Tribe. The right choices were glaringly obvious, only requiring a second or two of consideration to realize this fact. Making rushed choices is never a good thing. If you're playing this game, just take the time to consider all your choices and there implications. Otherwise, those same rushed choices are likely to bring an end to your Tribe. Sometimes those choices will turn out well, simply by chance but more often they will come back to bite you.

@@lothiaskane2614 There's an interesting lineage of changes that came with the mobile version, and in essence the steam version is a port of the mobile. The key thing is the heart engine of the whole project is still, I am not joking, the same framework as they used in KoDP in the 90s with almost no engine updates. We lost some things like the fyrd overview map that never came back, but all in all I like the UI for what it needs to be, but being an ancient gamer I am more tolerant to aesthetic jank. Some of the jankiest games out there have been some of my favorites. I'm just beyond thrilled that KoDP's re-release was appreciated enough to fund Six Ages

King of the Dragonpass Vibes. Instantly. Totally looks like a sucessor of it. :-) Though in Dragonpass the immersion broke when I decided to play a war tribe and realized that other tribes are immortal, can be raided indefinitely and you still get loot out if it.

@@Wlerin7 It's not about genocide, it's about realism and simulation. If you raid another tribe too hard the remains could simple merge with another tribe or move to a different part of the world, like really out of reach and so leaving the current game scenario. Also if an another tribe raids your people and takes all food when winter is coming, your tribe is screwed too, it's just slow death. A good game gives you options to get out of such situations or prevent them entirely without making it too easy and obvious. I mean there are prettier and less complex games out there for those who prefer pony farms.

Wow Runequest now that's a classic tabletop RPG, thought I recognised the deity names as from Glorantha!

4 seconds in: "Wait a minute, that looks just like King of Dragon Pass!"

I think your leaders combat rating is as much of a buff/debuff in battle as is the number of warriors you bring which is not obvious at all

this is the third game in the series of King of Dragon Pass, in fact you are here the enemy of the people on KoDP, and both six ages happen before KoDP. It is all set in the tabletop roleplaying game setting and nover setting of RuneQuest, where you are in a mythical fantasy that takes from bronze age culture in the mythic not levant. It's a wonderful game and setting

I agree with your technical suggestions (mostly QOL stuff). - just a lowly games fan

Wow, Runequest/Glorantha going strong after all these years.

King of Dragon Pass and Six Ages made me fall in love with Glorantha, even if not the very newbie unfriendly Runequest RPG system. I would love for a studio with a large budget and dedicated, passionate dev team would do this setting justice in a CRPG or Grand Strategy of some sort maybe.

TTRPG: Runequest Setting: Glorantha.

We shall not speak of it, but there are some things that you can never un-see. 😨

Another possible way to show the outcome of an event, in case the story is too big for a summary at the bottom, would be to have the appropriate text highlighted so when you mouse over it shows what changed. Although, a summary at the bottom would be easier to peruse.

Are you going to cover party of achra again now that it is 1.0? Not my question but a question posed by BlindIRL. Just watched the start of his stream and thought to pass on his request, because it is an awesome game. This one is weird but I like weird so thanks for showcasing.

I think this is based on the Runequest/Glorantha Tabletop game, as well?

Gods are not worshiped by choice, but by necessity. Cows for the cow god, meat for the meat throne, behind a river of milk on a mountain of steak

Make a series. S2 love it

It'd be something if the gods and magic died when the steam engine was invented. Sort of an Arcanum of Steamworks and Magick Obscura thing.

I don't know what this "Iverlantho" is. It looked like it was supposed to be a resource, but then it looked like an incorrect month and day format *(always use ordinal numbers for days of the month),* but apparently it's just "year"? It doesn't make any sense. If it's an age or something, it needs to be clearer, if it's so important it's with the rest of the resource UI.

tried it out, just not for me. Sent out 2 foraging parties with extra heavy patrols lost them both in year 2. Recruiting dried up so only got 1-2 swords back from each recruit. Lost wayy wayy too much on something so simple as foraging. While having some rng in these types of games makes them interesting, there was just too much of it for my liking. Something simple and logical like looking for food losing 2 leaders and most of my forces in the first few turns was just nuts. These games usually snowball so a big loss at the start means you lose in the end. idk seems cool, but I feel like the basics should be a bit more straight forward if they want to go crazy on the rng in the weekly events or exploration places and ambushes sure, but if I choose to take a turn to do something, I feel like it takes away from player agency for the game to say no

Oh crap! The Splatt said "addicting". You're a smart man Sir Splatt-a-lot. The collective hasn't approved that word yet. Addictive ...

I am still salty that they put Windows 10 as a requirement for the Six Age at the time when most people still used Windows 7, despite graphics in the previous game being basically the same as in SA2, and not much better than in DOS era King of Dragon Pass.

Dragon Pass/Glorantha is a terrific setting for a game, and is indeed atable top RPG game, Runequest. I'm not a fan of this style of story heavy game, and would very much like to see an RPG game in the world of Glorantha. Lots of scope there. Lots of fans who would buy. I would, sight unseen, no review needed, the fact that it existed would be enough.

Yep. Another from the series of: No matter what you do, its always bad choice simulator because we coded it that way and you cant do naught to do better - The Series.

Is this more like 6 ages 1, or King of Dragon pass? I disliked how scripted 6 ages 1 was. Losing because a single event roll failed is not fun.
