THE WYRM'S FOOTNOTES INDEX
VERSION 1.00
by appel@erzo.berkeley.edu
[issues 1-14,RQC]
HISTORY
Wyrm's Footnotes began publishing in 1976. Originally, it was a
magazine that supported White Bear, Red Moon and other early Chaosium
Board Games. Soon, however, it had become a forum for the discussion
of Glorantha, and Chaosium's first role-playing game, RuneQuest. By
issue 11, Wyrm's Footnotes was officially The RuneQuest Magazine.
In its short lifetime, Wyrm's Footnotes went through several changes.
The first issue, edited by Greg Stafford, was a stapled fanzine, with
a print run rumored to be as low as 25 copies. For the fourth issue,
Wyrm's Footnotes began using real binding, but it became digest sized.
The fifth issue was again full sized, and circulation had clearly
improved considerably. With issue 8, published in 1980, Charlie Krank
took over editorship of the magazine. Issue 11, of Spring 1981, was
officially labelled Vol. II, No. 1. It sported a full color cover,
the first that had ever adorned Wyrm's Footnotes.
Shortly after Wyrm's Footnotes 6, Chaosium began publication of their
second magazine, Different Worlds. Unfortunately, by 1982 it had
become too expensive for Chaosium to publish both magazines.
Different Worlds continued on, while Wyrm's Footnotes' publication
came to end. Originally, Chaosium planned to publish a series of
RuneQuest Companions. These books were to be 96 page supplements that
contained assorted information on Glorantha, as Wyrm's Footnotes once
had. The first RuneQuest Companion was published in 1983. It was the
last Gloranthan supplement that Chaosium published for 9 years.
Since the first RuneQuest Companion was, in many ways, Wyrm's
Footnotes 15, it has been included in this index.

A NOTE ON ORGANIZATION
Originally, Wyrm's Footnotes was the fanzine of White Bear, Red Moon,
and Chaosium's other early games. However, as more issues were
published, this emphasis began to change. By issue eleven, "The
RuneQuest Magazine" was emblazoned on the cover of every issue of the
magazine.
In compiling this index, I have decided to place this same emphasis on
Gloranthan RuneQuest. Thus, the main body of this index is an
organization of Gloranthan RuneQuest topics. Two appendices follow
the main index. Appendix I contains articles on Non-Gloranthan
RuneQuest, while Appendix II contains articles on non-RuneQuest
topics. This includes ELRIC, NOMAD GODS, DRAGON PASS and many other
board games produced by Chaosium. It should be noted that NOMAD GODS,
DRAGON PASS and WHITE BEAR, RED MOON all take place in the world of
Gloranthan, and that the information provided in them might be of
interest to Gloranthan RuneQuest players.
