[Rq-rules] Compare and Contrast: Gods Vs Cults

[Bo Whitten]

This is a hard call. Both are good. So let me give you the differences.

Cults Compendium is a reprint of several cults with complete histories and backgrounds, but it is not a complete list, having just a few cults compared to Gods of Glorantha. 

GoG in contrast has overviews of Gloranthan histories for the different pantheons. It lacks background myth, but is full of spells, skills and basic information on cults.

So, if you are looking for spells and skills look to GoG, if you want ideas on how to create complete myths for cults and pantheons look to Cults Compendium.

I personally like them both, and use them both. For non-Gloranthan games I tend toward GoG just because of its skills and spells.

Hope this helps,
Lorgryt
