RuneQuest Classic: 1992’s Sun County Returns with New Edition

Chaosium has released a remastered edition of Sun County, a beloved campaign supplement originally published in 1992 for the third edition of RuneQuest. This new version, part of the RuneQuest Classic series, is now available on DriveThruRPG in digital and print formats.

Sun County is set in the Gloranthan region of Prax, where a fiercely independent community of farmers has withstood generations of challenges, including hostile nomads and environmental hardships. Known as the Land of the Sun, the area is both forbidding and intriguing, attracting adventurers with the promise of wealth, fame, and discovery.

The remastered edition includes enhanced artwork, restored by Chaosium’s Rick Meints and Nick Brooke, and features a new foreword by RPG historian Shannon Appelcline. In his foreword, Appelcline reflects on the original release of Sun County as a landmark moment for RuneQuest, ushering in a brief but impactful creative period often referred to as the RuneQuest Renaissance. He highlights how the themes and innovations introduced during this era continue to influence Gloranthan creators and the broader RuneQuest community.

The new edition has been carefully crafted to maintain the integrity of the original while incorporating modern touches. Enhanced with color interiors in its hardcover version, it serves both as a nostalgic piece for long-time fans and an accessible entry point for new players. This edition includes scenarios, detailed cultural and historical notes, and contributions from a talented team of creators, including Michael O’Brien, Ken Rolston, and Greg Stafford, among others.

Chaosium’s remastered Sun County is now available for purchase in digital and print formats on DriveThruRPG, inviting players to once again explore the mysteries and adventures of the Sun Dome lands.
