Publication history

[edit]

When UK fanzine Pavic Tales, the first notable Glorantha fanzine, ended after issue #9 (Spring 1989), Tales of the Reaching Moon (20 issues, 1989-2002) from British fan organization Reaching Moon Megacorp was the next major fanzine for Glorantha. Reaching Moon Megacorp closed by publishing Tales of the Reaching Moon #20 (2002).<ref name="designers80s">Template:Cite book</ref>Template:Rp<ref name="designers00s">Template:Cite book</ref>Template:Rp

Reception

[edit]

Allen Varney reviewed the Winter '93 issue of Tales of the Reaching Moon, and said that "For casual players, Tales of the Reaching Moon might as well be printed in Sanskrit, as evidenced by cryptic references [...] But if that's music to your ears, consider taking an issue on your next trip to Glorantha."<ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref>
