Out of interest - where?

Until I see the rules myself I cannot give an informed opinion, but the solution seems... inelegant, for a better word. Chaosium removed the sorcery skills and replace them with techniques and runes, so they thought there were a level of brokeness in their original approach. Also, the skill bloat in the cults books is something has been raised before.

Do you have plans for further BRP releases? Toxandria was good.

I've not got my rule book to hand but I'm sure it talks about fear passion making people avoid the subject of the fear. I play it like a demoralization if the fear wins (succeeds) but as pointed out oppose it with something else (devotion to orlanth, for example, because courage is a virtue of Orlanth).

That's just what it's called in arcane lore.

It's not a mistranslation, but an example of how society and language changes over time. Originally the word courtesan mean a female courtier, that being a person who attends a powerful person of status' (i.e. a noble) court, and was some sort of retainer, knight, or in the case of a female, a lady of the court. The word was borrowed into English where overtime, as the definition of a powerful person of status shifted, so did the role of a lady who attends one. Geisha is somewhat similar in the artistic and social skills requires, but lacks the social stigma that is attached in the West. Mistress is also similar. The word courtesan is somewhat archaic today, and is mostly used as a polite way to refer to a member of the oldest profession. So the word does/did mean what you thought it meant, but it has a secondary meaning in English that is much better known.

Hi, I just wanted to add my voice to those who are saying how much we appreciate that you are doing this. It looks fantastic!

Blue Moon Assassins (Based on the Lunar Assasin, but a bit tougher) 5th level spoiler [humanoid] Initiative: +9 Blue blade +10 vs. AC—8 damage, and 8 special ongoing moon damage (no save; this special damage only ends if the creature affected uses a standard action to shake off all the special ongoing damage) Miss: 5 damage. R Moonbeam (vs 1 nearby target, bypassing any sort of cover; the ray comes straight from the moon at them, passing through obstacles) +10 vs PD, 15 moon damage If the Lunars are sharing the Escalation Die: Add the Escalation die to the damage of all her attacks. Blue Moon adept: The Lunar assassin doesn’t start the battle in play. Its enemies don’t even know it is present. While out of play, on its initiative the Lunar assassin rolls an easy save (6+). If it succeeds, the assassin enters play anywhere in the battle, uses a standard action (normally that means attacking an enemy it engages when it appears) with a +4 attack bonus, and ends its turn. This is a once per battle ability. Scramble: The Lunar assassin can choose to roll an 11 whenever it rolls a disengage check. (In other words, it can get away from any one normal enemy; it takes multiple enemies or disengage penalties to force the Lunar assassin to actually roll the check.) AC 20 PD 17 HP 70 MD 17 Blue Moon Sorceror 5th level Caster [humanoid] Initiative: +9 Blue blade +10 vs. AC—6 damage, and 6 special ongoing moon damage (no save; this special damage only ends if the creature affected uses a standard action to shake off all the special ongoing damage) Miss: 5 damage. R Poison Ray of Moonlight (vs 1 nearby target, bypassing any sort of cover; the ray comes straight from the moon at them, passing through obstacles) +10 vs PD, 10 poison damage and 10 ongoing poison damage. If the Lunars are sharing the Escalation Die: That unlocks the following spells: On a 2: Faintness of Heart (vs a nearby target) +10 vs MD - 10 psychic damage and the target cannot use the escalation die (save ends) On a 4: Moonbeam Trap (vs a nearby target) +10 vs MD - 10 psychic damage and stuck (save ends) On a 6: Moonbeam Trap (vs 1d3 nearby targets, bypassing any sort of cover; the ray comes straight from the moon at them, passing through obstacles) +10 vs MD - 10 psychic damage and stuck (save ends) Blue Moon adept: The Lunar sorceror doesn’t start the battle in play. Its enemies don’t even know it is present. While out of play, on its initiative the Lunar sorcero rolls an easy save (6+). If it succeeds, the assassin enters play anywhere in the battle, uses a standard action (normally that means attacking an enemy it engages when it appears) with a +4 attack bonus, and ends its turn. This is a once per battle ability. AC 19 PD 15 HP 70 MD 21

It was lost.

Oh! No problem I will edit it. ESL, so probably a mistranslation of "Cortesano" Thanks for the help!

@conajofa Respectfully, Conajofa, you keep using the word 'courtesan' for 'courtier'. In English a courtesan is a high priced and highly educated prostitute, a step above an 'escort' because courtesans are expected to be able to mix with high society without a problem. I mean absolutely NO disrespect to you and I acknowledge the possibility that the spelling was intentional. There are a lot of similarities between a European courtesan and a Japanese geisha, after all. I hope I haven't offended you. If so, it was unintentional.

That's fine. Invisible people can't see each other. I play that when darkwalk is up, you can see yourself, but if you are in the dark, you need another spell to see in the dark. You obviously can't see other darkwalking characters. If torches or lamps etc. are present you can see by them. You can potentially also use the Red Moonlight for illumination 😄, get it? It should also be noted that darkwalk renders the caster silent, and so trollish darksee cannot detect them.

My PCs tried to set up a complicated plan using Darkwalk, until I told them they wouldn’t be able to see or hear each other.

GLORANTHAN KARAOKE They say Danaë is in tonight, but I don’t think this one is directed at her: Some people say my words cannot be true Have faith in me, my child, and I’ll show you I will give you those things you thought unreal The sun, the moon, Arkat all bear my seal Follow me now and you will not regret Leaving the life you led before we met You must surrender to this light of mine Forever shining till the end of time Your trust in me has just got to be real Before you’ll know the way you’re going to feel Now that you’re bathing in my golden shower Our light grows stronger now with every hour Look into my eyes, you’ll see who I am My name is Nysalor, please take my hand If Uncle ZeeZee’s here, there could be fight … or is that him singing? Gosh!

Once again I find that because our gaming group's collective schedule is so erratic, I end up spending far more of my time fiddling around the edges of my campaign milieu than actually devising exciting adventures to put them through. If I'm very lucky, we might — might, I say — manage to get a second session of our first adventure next week. Maybe. Current mood: Somewhat disgruntled. Adulthood sucks.

Multiple pages throughout: incorrect apostrophes - lefthand curly when it should be righthand curly (e.g. Yelm's, page 3; Sedenya's, page 23); and the same issue with quotation marks (e.g. "Young Life" and "Spindle Hag" on page 27).

"Transmute" is not the right word. The shaman would simply see the god AS one of the great spirits and know them by their Spirit World name. I.e. they would see Orlanth as West King Wind or the Adventuring Wind or something similar. But they would not be in a position to readily bargain with such a spirit without giving up part of their soul (i.e. transfer POW to the deity/great spirit).

The God Skin in vol. 4 could likely work. Probably the Corn Dolls in vol. 2 once farming is established (i.e. needs settlers).

I think at least the first scenario in the first volume (Sandheart Volume One) is easily adaptable, but I'd say you need to make Duke Raus' grantlands a bit more developed than what appears in Borderlands, having already farming steads with settlers living on the other side of the river and along its banks, so that some shady businesses can be going on without the Duke's mercenaries noticing.

I think so, too, but aren’t we supposed to think that Ragnaglar and Wakboth are not currently possible objects of cult? If so, then on the equivalence theory, they wouldn’t be available to shamans just now either. And presumably, the Invisible God has long been out of touch with everyone. BUT I usually have things exactly wrong. 😉 ———————————————————— On the unavailability of Wakboth: https://wellofdaliath.chaosium.com/the-moral-evil-of-glorantha/

I intend to start a campaign using the old Borderlands supplement but modifying and exapanding on it. Would any of the scenarios in Jonathon Webbs Sandheart series be adaptable to this? p.s. I’ll be using the Questworlds system, if that makes a difference.
