Postbag from the Hedge

Postbag from the Hedge are a collection of letters to, and responses from, RuneScape non-player characters, including some who may not exist in the playable game. They are often replied to in a humorous fashion, although some replies (especially those from the Chaos Elemental) hint at possible future updates. The letters are delivered by Postie Pete. Postbag from the Hedge replaced the old letters from the gods of RuneScape, as the gods have "neither the time nor the inclination to speak with mere mortals".

Starting with postbag 11, some issues included a section known as Wise old tips, where the Wise Old Man provided insight to the readers. Other issues included sections from various other personalities such as the Chaos Elemental or Evil Dave.

On 12 August 2016, all mentions of Postbag from the Hedge were completely removed from the site. Any previous links to them redirects to the Customer Support section.

After a long absence, with the last one to release on RuneScape being in December 2013, a new Old School RuneScape Postbag from the Hedge debuted on 14 May 2021. Between 4 October 2021 and 2 December 2022, they were included as part of the Gielinor Gazette. Since then, they have been part of Community Showcases. While Postbags during the RuneScape era sometimes had to be retconned due to lore inconsistencies, they are vetted for consistency with lore in Old School and generally considered to be canon in the latter.^[1]

From postbag 16 onwards, letters would have a random stamp attached to the start of each letter, there were 7 different stamps:

• 
  Fairy
• 
  King Black Dragon
• 
  Menaphite
• 
  Pirate
• 
  Postie Pete
• 
  Rantz
• 
  Sir Amik Varze

• It is possible that the name is a reference to the novel Postcards from the Edge.
• The postbag stamps display the letters R.P.D.T., which stand for RuneScape Parcel Delivery Team, of which Postie Pete is a member.
