| - White Bear and Red Moon is a fantasy board wargame set in the world of Glorantha, created by Greg Stafford and published in 1975. Stafford first tried to sell the game to established publishers, but despite being accepted by three different game companies, each attempt ended in failure; eventually he founded his own game company in 1974, the influential Chaosium, to produce and market the game. The game depicts the wars between the mighty Lunar Empire and the barbarian nation of Sartar, led by Prince Argrath, with many smaller countries and individuals available as allies to either side. Like other games of the board wargame genre, it has a hex map, many cardstock unit counters, and a number of rules themes. White Bear and Red Moon went through three printings with minor differences. It was substantially revised and republished in 1981 under the name Dragon Pass, first by Chaosium and then in a nearly identical reprint from the Avalon Hill Game Company in 1983. The main differences in the reprint are a few streamlined rules and a notable improvement in the quality of the components. In particular, the paper map was replaced by a full-color game board. All editions are now out of print, and moderately valuable to a collector. A French-language edition was published by Oriflam under license from Chaosium under the name La Guerre des Héros in 1993. A Japanese-language edition was published by Hobby Japan. Nomad Gods is another Chaosium board game that shares many rules in common, is set in a neighboring region of Glorantha, and can be regarded as a sequel of sorts. A planned third game in the series was never produced. (en)
- White Bear and Red Moon è un wargame da tavolo fantasy ambientato nel mondo di Glorantha, scritto da Greg Stafford e pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1975. Stafford fondò la casa editrice Chaosium appositamente per produrre e vendere il gioco . Il gioco descrive le guerre tra il potente Lunar Empire e la nazione barbarica di Sartar, condotta dal principe Argrath, con individui e nazioni più piccole disponibile come alleati a una o all'altra fazione. Il gioco condivide molti elementi con altri giochi wargame da tavolo, come una mappa esagonale, un gran numero di counter e diversi tipi di regole. White Bear and Red Moon venne ristampato due volte con differenze minimie. Venne sostanzialmente rivisto e ripubblicato nel 1981 con il nome Dragon Pass, prima dalla Chaosium e quindi in una ristampa quasi identica dalla Avalon Hill Game Company nel 1983. La differenza principale nella ristampa sono alcune regole semplificate e un notevole miglioramento nella qualità dei componenti. In particolare le mappe di carta furono rimpiazzate da mappe in cartoncino a colori. Tutte le edizioni sono fuori stampa e hanno un moderato valore collezionistico. Un'edizione in francese venne pubblicata dalla su licenza della Chaosium con il nome La Guerre des Héros nel 1993. Un'edizione giapponese venne pubblicata dalla . (it)
