Wish these vids had continued .. watching them second time round now!

Went and saw the Burma Exhibition before Christmas and saw those very objects. The BM is a fine place to be able to visit for an hour or two - but only if you live in London like me!

Thanks David.

Another question has just come up.

p72 Lankhor Mhy Rune Priest - these are titled Sages. However, in canon there is at least one instance of a Lankhor Mhy follower being termed sage who is not Rune Priests - Jorjera Latish in Starter Set book 2 - she has POW 12 so cannot be a Rune Priest. Is there a specific term for a proper LM Rune Priest? Alternatively, is the Starter Set wrong?

OK guys, it was only asked to satisfy my curiosity .... my Glorantha already varies, and our gaming is SLOW. Thanks for all your thoughts though ....

Just a query about Jonstown Compendium ... is there any danger that material may be superseded and invalidated by a canon publication?

Because I've set the scenario 1 year after the liberation, the approach of the anniversary causing the wyter to "wake up", I have assumed that over the year any other Seven Mothers cultists have left Jonstown (or died) because it's just not a good place to live any more. The dwindling congregation must have an effect on the wyter, indeed I assume it has contributed to its madness. The way things are going, the remaining few Seven Mothers worshippers are going to leave for points north in my campaign. The departure of the last remaining congregants will probably solve the problem as the wyter will wither and presumably dissipate or return to the spirit world. The loss of the congregation is a weak point for setting the story a year after the liberation: of course, as the wyter is "mad" it may not behave as a normal wyter would - that's my excuse.

My instance (linked above) is PBeM and that means the players have a lot of time to think and find holes in the plot ... oh yes.

Quite the opposite - I am trying to determine in FiD what it is reasonable for a PC to do within the confines of existing rules or conventions. In a way it does not matter for MGF but I'd prefer to know what rules I am bending before bending them.

I am currently running this scenario but set a year after the liberation of Jonstown. It's a great scenario but you have to do some work. See here for my write-up - it may give some ideas https://www.scorn.me.uk/RQ website/Stories/1626-3 Earth Season C2.html

thanks. pretty much what I had concluded. So for a temple wyter, does it have to be a Rune Priest (not just someone fulfilling the priest role - as Ferene in Fire in the Darkness)?

If the senior Rune Priest of a temple dies unexpectedly, what happens to the temple wyter? Does it hang around for 7 days (during which the priest could be resurrected) and the new senior priest consequently has some time to "adopt" it? (What happens if it is adopted and then the priest is resurrected?)

p.89, Nature Of The Cult, 1st para, 2nd sentence, "takes lovers, who she then plows her lovers beneath the Earth" -> "takes lovers, whom she then plows beneath the Earth".

Thanks MOB - that's very helpful. I don't have Cults of Prax (way before my starting with Glorantha) so your wise words will tide me over until the new book in March.
