I have covered Islam in a couple of Merrie England books for various RPG Systems and have had no issues. Obviously, Chaosium is far bigger than me or Alephtar Games, so would be higher profile. But, if you cover the religion sensitively and are perfectly clear that this does not relate to real world Islam, then things might be OK.

It is unlikely that Elementals are found moving about in the normal plane, unless they are in a special place. Darkness Elementals might be found in Shadows Dance or around a Castle of Lead. Water Elementals might be found in the seas, lakes or rivers. Earth Elementals might be found in the earth, but I think they can be found deeper, near the Deep Earth. Fire Elementals might be found in great forest fires, or on burning plains. Air/Storm Elementals might be found during a storm, or when the wind is high, or around holy mountains such as Kero Fin. Lunar Elementals might be found at the Crater, on the Red Moon or within the Glow Line. Blue Moon Elementals might be found skulking around the Blue Moon Plateau. In the Spirit World, yes, sure, loads of Elementals there. Elementals can be found in the Spirit World near a place associated with that Element, so around Holy Spots or Temples. Yes, a Shaman can bind an Elemental using the Spirit Plane, all they need to do is travel there and find an Elemental, using the normal rules.

My Glorantha has Always Varied. Most cults don't like Shamans because Shamans take worshippers away from Temples and Priests. A Shaman can always make a personal connection to a deity and organise a Spirit Cult based on the Shaman. Priests don't like that, but shamans and their followers do. So, I would allow a Shaman to access almost any cult via shamanic worship, as described in the Spirit Cult section of the RQG Rules. They don't get access to all the spells, though, which is the disadvantage of worshipping a deity via a Spirit Cult.

It's a good scenario, in fact I played it last week and enjoyed it. It is very good that you want to GM RQ, welcome to the club.

If you want it slightly less aggressive, do something like the following: Have plenty of Healing, either spells of potions Remind people that Heal wound is a Common Magic spell and is widely available to PCs Have Chalana Arroy Temples offer Resurrection on Credit, if needed, with no Credit Limit, it also allows PCs to go on adventures specifically to pay off their debt to the Healers Have massive damage to a vital location not mean instant death, but just means the PC is unconscious until healed, maybe except for a head cut off in a single blow Have 0 General Hit Points mean unconscious and bleeding for CON melee rounds, with healing possible up to that time Allow multiple lots of healing on a location, without having to wait for rounds Allow the RQ3 "Being Heroic" rule, so a PC can roll CONx1% to act when they should be knocked unconscious or functionally incapacitated However, I have found that the best way to avoid losing PCs in combat is to downplay combat and play up other areas of the game. In my last RQ Glorantha game, the PCs maybe had a combat every 4 or 5 sessions.

Maybe King of Sartar and the Book of Heortling Mythology? I think Trollpack is the best source, though.

A friend bought a shotgun from a shop just around the corner from a police station, so he walked in to register it, but with it over his shoulder. He got a few funny looks, then a policeman came up and asked if there was something he could help with. When he explained, the policeman said to come to his desk, then nonchalantly added "Next time, could you break it and leave it open, so we can see there are no shells loaded?" He then realised that he could have been tasered by a dozen policemen, quite easily.

There must somehow just be a load of negative energy somewhere, just to balance it out. Simples. Now, all we have to do is find it and draw it into our Universe and see what happens ...

I just assume that the Healer knows the best way to purge the poison. Animal sting - Cut it and suck out the poison * Vapour/Gas - Blow healing smoke into the lungs Irritant - Put some kind of salve on it Swallowed - Make them vomit it back up It isn't necessarily going to be accurate and Doctors, Nurses and Paramedics can tell us of the many reasons why this wouldn't work in the real world, but for a Fantasy World and a RPG Rules system, it works well enough for me. * Reminds me of the old Castlemaine XXXX advert, where someone has been bitten on the backside by a snake, so his mate calls the Doctor. "You need to suck out the poison, or it'll be really bad", he says. "What did the Doc say?", the stricken chap asks, "He says it's going to be really bad ..."

It is too far away for sense chaos to have any effect. Also, it is buried under a lot of rock and soil, so this masks Sense Chaos.

I am sure that there are different origin stories for the different types of dinosaur. Some may well have multiple origin stories. The point that I was trying to make, probably clumsily, is that some dinosaurs are broken dragonewts, some descended from Maran Gor and some were, perhaps, draconic mutants. When a Dragonewt becomes a Triceratops, it might meet another Triceratops, perhaps one descended from Maran Gor. The two might mate and produce offspring that are both descended from Maran Gor and a broken Dragonewt. that might meet a Triceratops that was created as a curse when a wizard shape-changed a rival. They might mate and produce another Triceratops that has even more mixed origins. My point is that not all dinosaurs are necessarily descended entirely from Maran Gor, or from broken Dragonewts or whatever. They are mixed and have mixed origins.

Don't forget that you cannot toss a pancake properly in Zero-G, either.

The way I see many of the Thunder Brothers is that Orlanth did something, then Orlanth became known for doing something, then Orlanth cast off doing something into a devolved son, or Thunder Brother. So, Desemborth is both Orlanth the Thief and Desemborth the Thief, Son of Orlanth. Vinga is both Orlanth the Woman and Daughter of Orlanth. Orlanthcarl is both Orlanth the Farmer and Barntar the Farmer, Son of Orlanth.

Some dinosaurs are degenerate Dragonewts, but not all. Some dinosaurs are descended from Maran Gor, but not all. Some dinosaurs are descended from immature or broken dragon eggs, but not all. Dinosaurs have a varied descent, but similar types of dinosaur can breed with each other regardless of whether they are descended from a rogue dragonewt, from Maran Gor or from a bad dragon egg. After all, a brontosaurus is a brontosaurus is a brontosaurus.

This has always been an issue with various versions of RuneQuest. For roughly human-sized humanoids, if you use a rule of thumb that 1 SIZ = 1 Stone (14 lbs or roughly 6kg) then that is a good approximation. For larger creatures, doubling the height multiplies the weight by 8, so creatures get very large SIZ values, or larger points of SIZ cover a broader range of weights.

The Hero could be anyone, really. The examples you gave are good ones, so it would be OK to use those, or similar ones. When the Gods and Goddesses of Glorantha I and II come out, you will have a lot of heroes to choose from. That will contain 100 cults, not quite your 5,000, but probably a good start. Generally, I would ask some questions when choosing a Hero for the Heirloom: Is this a Cultural Hero of my culture? If so, choose a hero related to your cult or culture. Is this a Clan hero? if so, choose your Clan Founder, one of the Founder's children or another important person in your Clan's history. Is this a Hero from a different Culture? If so, choose the culture and choose a hero from that culture.you might need to invent a reason why you have this heirloom.

I was confused mid-series, until I realised that some of the scenes were flashbacks to several years ago. Overall, I enjoyed the Witcher, solid modern-style Fantasy.

I think you have to belong to the Yelm Cult to take the Ten Tests and Yeml is restricted to males. Of course, if a woman took the Ten Tests and passed, then she would automatically, by default, be a member of the Yelm Cult and would be qualified to be Emperor. That's the beauty of HeroQuesting, by completing the HeroQuest successfully you prove your place in the world.

That's their problem - No Rhinos in Australia.

Unless you are giving your knowledge to the deity, perhaps by sharing it as a Hero Subcult.

When I click on my Unread Items link, the items are shown in Expanded View, with multiple lines per item. When I click on Condensed, it says it is now Condensed, but still shows the Expanded view. I am using Chrome (Version 79.0.3945.88 (Official Build) (64-bit)) on Windows 10.

Heal 3 doubled to Heal 6 by the Crystal is enough to reattach a limb. Similarly, Heal Wound (or is it Heal Area, I can never remember) allows you to use MPs to heal a wound, so 3 MPs would be doubled to 6 to reattach a limb. Soltak Stormspear had a flawed Healing Crystal that costs the full Magic points but added 1D4 extra Healing, I think it was a 7 point Crystal, so he could do a 14+1D4 Heal. That sounds good, but who has 18 HPs in a location?

Glad you like them. The number of OGL-D100 games are such that there is a lot of variety. They are similar enough that you can use bits from one game in another fairly easily. Revolution is a bit more difficult, but the skills/traits are so easy that you can use other systems with Revolution Rules very easily. One thing I like is that each Publisher has a set of genres that the other Publishers generally don't interfere with. Where there is an overlap, the supplements are generally complementary.

Wyrms Footnotes had the Sembraki, a form of Fire Demon. I saw a Chaos demon written up somewhere as well, maybe also in Wyrms Footnotes. These were embodied Demons, so they manifested as Physical Demons, in the same way that Elementals manifest Physically. One of our RQ2 GMs write a program in Fortran that allowed him to generate Chaos Demons. He showed us the inch-thick wide-paper printout and a few of the Demons and we banned him from running RQ games.
