TROTSKY'S WRITING CREDITS

So far, they are all for the game worlds of Glorantha and Harn. You can keep up to date with my work (and with my life in general, should you care) at my blog, courtesy of blogspot.

Status: Published February 2000

I wrote most of the rules and magic sections of this book, plus the two page article on the Kabloqui tribesmen and a few other short sections here and there. Most of the actual tribal descriptions, though, are by N Robin Crossby, and were reprinted from earlier Harn products. I did, however, write the tribal religion section in an earlier book, HarnMaster Religion, along with a short piece added to the reprinted Halea article in that book.


Heroes of Malkionno cover yet

ISBN TBA
Publisher: Issaries, Inc.

Status: In production

The first volume of a series of books describing the whole of the Malkioni culture of Glorantha. This will include new homelands and keywords, descriptions of every major Malkioni nation and sect in Genertela and descriptions of some Malkioni hero bands.


Kingdom of the Flameswordno cover yet

ISBN TBA

Status: In production

The follow-up to Heroes of Malkion focuses on the Kingdom of Seshnela, one of the core cultures in the HeroQuest rulebook. Seshnela is a powerful kingdom, whose people are divided rigidly into four castes - commoners, warriors, wizards, and nobles - in the service of the One Invisible God. Once the centre of a vast Empire, Seshnela seeks to regain its former glory, just as tensions within the Church threaten to damage its own stability. The book describes the kingdom, its rulers, government, religion, and geography in detail. The focus on is on information immediately useful in a game, from Inquisition trials to sample heroquests, new cults, and information on the Kingdom's many enemies.


Wizard-Knightsno cover yet

ISBN TBA
Publisher: Issaries, Inc.
Credit: Author
Status: In production

Volume three in the series about the West of Glorantha covers the Kingdom of Loskalm, the largest of all the Malkioni nations, yet also one of the strangest. In Loskalm, everyone, no matter their parentage, begins life as a commoner. They must prove themselves worthy if they wish to become a knight, and the worthiest of knights have the opportunity to become magically powerful wizard-knights, and ultimately the nobles that rule this most enlightened of nations. The book describes the kingdom, its rulers, government, religion, and geography in detail, and also includes information on the neighbouring realm of Junora. As in Kingdom of the Flamesword, the focus is on information immediately useful to a game, and includes a number of new cults and heroquests.
