  1. The most obvious part is the waking up because some agarthan arranged that you could defend yourself as INSERT BADDIES are raiding a museum or other such location that has your phylacetries or whatever they were called. escape with your magical items, leaving a swath of corpses of eevil mortals maybe forced to jump bodies a few times. But beyond that? Find your arcana, arcanas? Would be simpler if they all shared one tbh.. thats a second goal in this new strange neon world. Finding safety overall, whether hiding behind a dedicated family and pretending to fit in or leaving all. Wheel dude would be busy aside from bodubuilding also picking up all kinds of electric wiring, microwaves, toasters and stuff and turn them into a flying saucer or stargate and various golem guardians. Scrapyard owner here i come! Goal? Build more magic mana and as you reach 100 ascend so you can save yourself in the past.
  2. On a slight tangent, the dreamworld might look very much like glorantha... while the easier extraordinary/hard and critical successes, well, your inherent dreaming ability works in mysterious ways. Going to sleep and waking up the next morning seemingly years later and immediately want a drum to drum out Zoo-Rak ZoRan (2 slow and a almost double deat). hile suddenly having acquired all kinds of sneaking and baseball bat skills 😄 ..yes indeed a lead chainmail and lead platemail. What is so hard to understand? To a bewildered smith in Arkham. Oh and a rather gigantic sledgehammer also of Na met.. sry lead, please.
  3. Tuskrider Aramites like to torture their foes souls and magics into hands, tails or i guess horns for unicorns.
  4. ..going into a specific chamber somewhere deep underground... and roll vs pow, bam your chaosfighter is now chaotic. Melisandre is preggers and half a dozen kids wait at home for daddy to return from adventuring. But daddy is now chaotic, maybe even nothing that should be visible. Time to sneak-run to dorastor and seek self-destruction? Join up with the lunar empire you have been kicking around so far over clan being kicked out of its vale? Will it infect any future kids even if no one notices anything? Can you even tell Melisandre? Press your sword thru your belly? Pretend all is ok and nothing has changed? Stop touching your wife? Withdraw into a locked room claiming everything is ok and refusing social interaction or physical connection? Illumination might have been achieved half accidentally that would help even out emotional responses. Still many concerns stand. Trust be the bulls instincts, illumination cures chaos! Or even see it as a benefit in being able to crush chaos, lunars and assorted would be babykillers even better. +3d6pow, +4d6str and everything heals makes you pretty much into a mostly untouchable superhero. Just need to keep those 95% weekly pow increases rolling into ever more armor, durability and spirit enchantments.

    Stars in Hell?

    Opposable thumbs are magic items or more exactly heroquest rewards. None are born with such magic, magic in general wont come at all until adulthood. Man = eyes might have a point if eyes went away with losing the man rune. Civilization does for sure.

    Stars in Hell?

    More like the humans that didnt get smarts still the same type.. one with a man rune and the other without which can be switched. Just as there are sentient and nonsentient fish of the same types or sentient and nonsentient baboons.

    Stars in Hell?

    Trolls have eyes, even the styganthropus vorax ie old skool trolls that actually came from hell vs surface weak sauce uz variety (sun really is baad, mkay?). Thus hell has light, and the stars would be there alongside other sources from burning mouth horses to fluorescent bugs, shrooms and rocks. besides how scary is a place you cannot see anything in vs a place you can see the horrors in? As for summoning ancestors, herdmen are awfully useful for that. There is no need at all for the ancestor to give the body back, keep it as a gift! And not terribly different from sacrificing bulls/pow to ancestors. Now making the correct kind of offspring can be tricky as 50% are human and 50% herdman in human-herdman.. umm.. bestiality. Luckily im sure there are similar heroquests as the blue boar but hunting herdmen. In short: hunt & kill, peaceful cut and get some magical powers and ...well..- ahem.. the ability to father superior piglets on a sow. Or in this case ensure a plentiful healthy crop of herdmen cattle. That just so as it happens would be also blood related. See reaching moon #7.
  8. Elder races, dysfunctionality even complete inaction outside a predetermined job task. The little adventure description, find a new cavehome, find dwarffood (no eat foreign stuff!) and so on.
  9. Hahha, kinda begs for a crossover? A human with cats collaborating while trying to speak cat/ooman with eachother up against the mythos to save human- and catkind alike.
  10. Sure, certainly follows the good vein of adam -dr frankensteins monster and other such examples of weird science. Go visit a library and dig out those old classic books. Invisible man! Dr moreau.. a magnetohydrodynamic submarine that draws its power and motion from water and staying under for years. Dont expect a version of good old natilus to be buildable without loads of other skills and a kingdom or two of wealth tho, CreditRating 99% becomes even more useful, and would be a requirement for Nautilus or a spaceship operating on a (Erasmus) darwin engine.
  11. Self resurrection used to be less dramatic. You kinda floated above your body being in control of the process unlike regular mortals that just get vacuumed to their afterlives. Shamans meanwhile swim those currents with ease and essentially ignore such. Anyways, there you float and behold your mortal coil... and start casting those heal spirit spells with or without various bound spirits assisting. Then swim into your own fully or repaired enough body. You can almost as easily go grab someone elses body too, like the killers body. Then keep that soul trapped and interrogated? Yes shamans are über deadly scouts into say a castle killing opponents and lose the latest body? Just grab another.
  12. Normal mostali are about as exciting as a industrial robot. Standing motionless in a corner until there is a task, then they do the task and nothing but it. Im sure they share their matrixes and magic point stores. So the great machine would have millions and millions of magic points to cast those 100+ point spells to stabilize each and every wall, door, beaker and tool for 20 years times every 10 points for another multiplier of 1024. 20 million years considered long enough to be worth it? 20 billion years? 1 pow? what a laughably low cost!
  13. Sorcerers are still a bit half-done, without familliars to allow them to become multibody hive beings and practically wyterish themselves. Thus so far the sorcrers are only halfway there to their fully operational (and almost invincible) battlestation status. Even scarier as one can choose to make a lot of herdmen familliars pretending to be ordinary humans. By Arkat send them to cults as spies and to acquire exploitable access to resources.
  14. YGMV...but trollcults do kinda look down on trollkin and rarely allow one to join a real (troll!) cult. In that sense a human cult is oft easier. Xiola umbar being offbeat here as is argan argar (full of humans too) to a lesser degree. And then there is Zo!-Rak!-Zo_ran! (2 slow one fast double drumbeat). Guess the 3 sibling darknesses seeing yelm the unseeable made them all a little weird. Then there are the old school rules of no one below one 90% knowledge skill being eligble as a novice of lhankor mhy. Serve as a hang around busybody learning as you slave away until then. Merely worked and not beaten or eaten?? Paradise better than hell to a trollkin!
  15. sry wrong thread, please no eat trollkin
  16. Just struck me how they appear so very popular spending money back in the days. Which led me down some research. In short when spending mexican silver dollars, or if you like free silver dollars, -a for reasons very popular subject in some quarters- you gain a whopping +80% spending money. Being as it turns out perfectly interchangeable with american dollars and the poor locals in asia and africa still on silverfooting are none the wiser. Besides its all colonial metal anyway. Not that it will fool any briton in the empire pr that they would accept anything but pounds (although in the right years actual gold and silver may look very attractive with pounds off any metal foot), . But you will be a lot richer buying services and products in say China whether shore or inland. How does it work? Assuming a top quality mexican silver dollar. No one, aside from maybe the mexican goverment, should have much reason to complain as you use 24,44g of pure silver and another 10% other metals. just like the mexican mint does it. In fact they are better quality than some of the older mexican dollars. Using a 1923 price of 67c/troy ounce, some 5% melting, cheapo 10% metals and casting fees. Granted the forgery job of getting the mold carved isn't calculated here. It needs afterall to look like a geniuine mexican dollar. The metal to troy ounce to 24,44g gives a multiple of 1,272646 and a well heeled diletantte turning $1000 @67c/troz (68,34 with the costs?) = 1463 troz of silver and using the multiple for the 24,44g pure silver content vs troy ounces at 31,10346g the end result is 1862 mexican silver dollars. As if by magic you now have 80% more. Granted still needs that forger to carve the dies which shouldnt be illegal as no attempt to forge usd is made, only foreign money. Given that all other kinds of stealing is ok too starting with patents. Now actual USD silver dollars... thats a different case (and even more profitable @24,057g pure silver ie an extra multiple of +1,6%). In fact the us banks stole all the chinese gold from the reublic with this scam using heavier socalled trade dollars. Overpaying for the gold and then the trade dollar was demonitized almost as if the federal reserve was in on the crime. Oops. Note later 1932 silver prices of 28c/ troy ounce vs the pretty high still 1923 price at 67c. 67/28*1,862= 4,4555 ow dear a +355% profit! Paying a mere 20% more than market price for the gold? What a minor fee in the grand scam. https://www.macrotrends.net/1470/historical-silver-prices-100-year-chart (remember to remove especially the covert to modern price thingy.. boy how such coversions annoy me as they are inaccurate to level silly) ..and various wikipedias..
  17. Sense criminal even someone just contemplating a crime! From the seven mothers redemption of criminals subcult thru a cult of hard knocks. Also sorcerers, when they start figuring out they can design spells start making spells for detecting EVERYTHING. Being able to basically tell what armor everyone is wearing under cloaks, if they carry arms and of what materials and more. And ofcourse if their employers can pay them at all.
  18. Spidersilk! Supposedly the kralorerans are using another method, but if you want to dress your own Melisandre from Garhound you won more fancifully than some green linen dresses with serpent skin belts and square copper jewellery. Well, troll silk would be the way. No doubt very expensive as it makes its way thru a gorakiki or aranea cult a troll family a troll clan and a argan argar cult with or without extra humans and then the praxian nomads as guards and/or protection money plus a issares cut and a pavis tax plus a extra lunar tax. Now cow-pewter.. a Ze-Uraldan that eats aldryami whether mobile or immobile, leaks excess liquids and can do math really fast. Printing out the answers on freshly made paper from the plants from undrneath the tail. Obviously a very evil Mostali hellmachine.
  19. 15d6 melt, 14d6 for tempering, 13d6 just really hot? And yeah bronze melts easy, glass and stone being better materials but evidently the very best is iron.
  20. Now for really wacky damage get some iron daggers and that lodril spirit spell of heating metal.. +13d6 just from being hot. Now imagine a flying sorcerous familliar dagger and a sorcerous version of that heat metal spell. Then a swarm of those flying hot familliar daggers. A tiny swarm of 10 should be able to clean out the whole snakepipehollow in a single sweep. And yes the daggers can technically be broken but luckily sorcerers are known for their ability, damage and protection buffs. Atleast i think we now know what those dartgames look like. Not even need to be daggers or darts, might aswell be just iron balls. Not even baseball playing giants are safe hitting but a single attacker per round and it would destroy the baseball bat-tree.
  21. Mee Vorala struck me as the most laid back cult ever. Its fine to be a shaman or wizard. Betray the cult? Okie heres the punishment: Your food will mold faster than before!! One can wonder what would even be such a heinous deed, maybe eating fellow cultists without their permission? Practically born illuminated in their bioluminiscent paradise gardens. But i hear they are really "fun guys". Meanwhile the fungal potions. The 3 given already in earlier materiel get all sorts of dark and moldy plans running and hoping for more. The fun guys themselves being so laid back im sure all you need is to carve a cave with a river and just plant them. Theyll be happy to hang around and trade magic shrooms for bison fertiliser while living in your vastly extended cellar.
  22. Trickster are anarchistic within and without, there is a reason for the every trickster can and should open their own shrine and thus avoid having a master that extracts 10% of their income or other less than volontary service like organized begging for the benefit of the ring leader. Or whenever you have figured out the ringleader is scamming you and run away to start your own shrine in a backalley you have graduated. Or when the old ringleader gets bored and goes do something else or the whole ring rises in rebellion. All expected maybe even ENCOURAGED developments. Afterall to a tricksters thinkings(?) things only improve thru random change.
  23. In glorantha trees, bushes, sartari, broos and gods and for that matter rats and lions are all about 80th cousins via grandfather mortal.
