This. Really this. 👆👆👆 I've had house cat's most of my life. I don't have any right now, but I'm always the person called for 'cat sitting'. Most people don't seem to understand that cats are dedicated predators. Me playing with a house cat involves using a cat toy with a reach of at least 24 inches (0.6 m) that the cat likes to chase, catch, and chew on. They will do that for quite a while if bored. I never use my hands, anymore too many scratches and bites. I would Never be brave enough to work with big cats (or raise them).

Thank you for introducing me to this link g33k, good stuff!

@lordabdul this is a rockin' cool newsletter!! Thanks!

And now for a completely unlearned, and non-canonical view (or something completely different). After rereading the posts, the one that resounds the most to me, is JRE's (forgot to use quote option), JRE; "In my opinion hsunchen, though it is a Kralori term, is actually a God Learner concept, and they joined together peoples that themselves have very different origin myths. Being the meddlers they were, and that they liked to tidy other peoples myths, I would expect that the fact that hsunchen have similar structures and myths could simply be a God Learner project." For me (Badder) the concept of anything in Glorantha is the myth (story) in Godtime. This is where all the Runes were created/claimed. Runes, to me, point to the Myths (stories) of Godtime the way I can point to the Moon with my finger, but they aren't the Myth itself any more than my finger is the Moon (this is me flattering Zen). The myths (stories) from Godtime are that important. I always view each creature as an embodyment of a certain connection to Gloranthan Myth (in terms of more than just Runes). All Hsunchen are connected by the stories (myths of their people in Godtime). (If you thought that I transposed the words story and myth unintentionally in the previous sentence please google the definitions of Myth). Modern peoples of Glorantha access Godtime (in a way) through the Hero Plane. Since Arkat, everyone has used the Hero Quest for great change. (I assert at this point that I really know less than nothing about how the EWF used Dragonic magic and what Dragonic magic is). My opinion of the Dark Hsunchen is it depends. Is the (and ) creature trying to be adopted into a tribe/pack/clan? Are they willing to lose their if necessary to gain the as part of their personal myth (did separate out from the beasts like the Hsunchen)? Are they willing to Hero Quest for the change? Are they willing to face spirits of retribution from former cults (or entities on the Hero Plane)? Are they willing to rewrite their very nature via the Hero Quest? It takes Big Magic to accomplish this (probably Hero Plane magic). Minimally it may mean dealing with God Learner artifacts and that always works out so well... Or maybe just Dragonic magic (again good luck).

For now, I just wanted to say this has been IMO one of the most interesting threads I've read! I will try to pop back to give my completely unlearned, and non-canonical opinion later. Thank you all for a great read! P.S. Great post @Eff, g33k is right. P.P.S. @Brian Duguid great stuff.

Thank you ssvenson, Richard S. and Kloster for the information.

Also note, an early Strongman (breaking chains, biting coins in half, bending nails, etc.) Joe Greenstein (a.k.a. 'The Mighty Atom') lived through being shot in the head. Joe Greenstein - Wikipedia From Wikipedia: In 1914, The Houston Daily Post reported that a friend of Greenstein accidentally shot him in the middle of the forehead. The report states the bullet did not enter his skull, and "flattened out against his forehead".[2] This experience sparked Greenstein's interest in the mental powers associated with strength, and he gradually developed an array of strongman feats.[3]

I am a complete historical novice. I am very curious if others (or Kloster) could provide more information on why the Romans were able to move so far? I see the implication that there was no supply chain, and I would appreciate more information. (And perhaps some sources for more reading). Thank you.

These sound like cool long term ambitions. Does your group still meet?

Hey, I can have totally unplayable wants (LMAO)🤣

Wow, all these stories are fun! If they are any more stories like these, I would like to hear them. P.S. Always a GM, never a player, I wanted to play a Superior Trollkin, Newtling (and I love the Agimori but they seem super powerful).

Thank you for this post @ffilz! I was wondering what some of the differences were. (I had RQ2 and RQ3, but never saw a 1st ed, now I know why).

I'm going to vote; Gilgamesh (in print, but the comic was okay), Princess Mononoke (just incredible), The Mahabharata by Peter Brooks, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhqkRGISQr8 , Britannia, The Raven Banner by Marvel Comics (Charles Vess, did the art), and Neil Gaiman's American Gods, and Anansi Boys.

Thank you g33k. Thank you Bill.

Thanks everyone that was very informitive! 🙂

I'm familar with RQ 2nd, 3rd, and RQ:G. How would Mythras differ?

Hello! I'm Badder, also know in real life as Mike. I have been interested in RuneQuest for years and with the help (Thank you all!) of this forum I found an online group to play in. I have Game Mastered several games in the past because that was the only way I could enjoy them. (Edit: thanks to the lfg thread post by lordabdul I was able to find several RQ games!🤯😱) Greetings to you all!
