It must be just a young one. In any case, it's head is higher than any of the others.

Excellent news.

No, someone else did.

Except for the ones where there are more than one. The Eternal Champion meets another version several times, I believe. Oswald Bastable nuked Hiroshima three times, I believe. Hitler was a pissed off postman in some of the Jerry Cornelius stories, but I think the Nazis were as we see them in the Colonel Pyat storeies, but I am not sure of that.

So, barrels are non- canonical, but we have a god of barrels, pictured with a barrel, described as having barrels and art direction by the current Mr Glorantha as having barrels. Reducto ad absurdam would indicate that barrels are not non-canonical.

You still can. Buy the Legend PDF and run it through a PDF to text converter, that gives you a workable SRD.

I would concur. Legend is much better than RQ1 in all ways, except that it vastly reduces the number of Legendary Abilities, but I would just adapt the ones from MRQI.

I definitely will.

The writeup of Lodril in White Wolf magazine said that he reincarnated in an ancestral line, but that is slightly different.

And then we'll all house rule it in different ways to make it even more perfect ...

He's 8 now? Blimey!

I am reminded of Terry Pratchett's Small Gods, where sausages are the best offering to the gods, especially when used as a burnt offering, especially in the morning, when the smell fills the air and moves towards the heavens, of course, what can the priests do with the offering once it is made, but consume it as a religious duty.

Excellent news. Should be a reasonable fit with Mythic Britain, with some crossovers.

Very broadly, maybe, but I think they crossed roles quite a lot. A lot of people have suggested that the Sevem Mothers Quest is a variant of the LBQ in the past and it makes a lot of sense. You build your quest on what has been done before. However, they were not rescuing a deity that they had wrongeds, nor a deity trapped in Hell, so they would have had to improvise a lot on the Quest. Yanafal tarnils having some Arkat knowledge would have helped as well, but I have no idea if that was the case. Tello Norri is definitely a Flesh Man stand-in, but also acts as the vessel for the restored Red Goddess. Hers is the most poignant part of the ritual, an orphan girl plucked off the streets just before the ritual and forced to take part. Irrippi Ontor, Queen Deezola and She Who Waits make sense. She Who Waits probably had a different role, but has been idenified with Ginna Jar due to them both being purged from the story. Issaries was the Pathfinder, rather than the Trader, so Danfive Xaron makes some sense as issaries. Yanafal Tarnils was a leader, but so was Queen Deezola. He makes more sense as Orlanth than Eurmal, though. Jakaleel is far more difficult, as she does not fit any of the roles. She might have been shoehorned into Eurmal, but Danfive Xaron could act as the sacrifice or the bound man, both attributes shared with Eurmal. None of them are a perfect fit, which makes sense as they were not doing a perfect LBQ.

Which is why I only backed the Guide to Glorantha at PDF level - Not that the bindings are bad, I would just be too afraid to open the damn thing.

To my simplistic eyes, it's a barrel therefore it works. As a GM, I don't really care whether a barrel needs iron or bronze, as a player I don't care about why a barrel works, it just works.

Don't forget Revolution, which, at its core, has a very fine system. In fact, that is the way I will probably go if I start a campaign again in the future.

Reaching 100% in a skill does not mean that you are at the pinnacle of the skill. Instead it means that you normally succeed at using the skill in normal conditions. Having a skill in excess of 100% means you normally succeed in the skill in difficult, extreme or near impossible conditions. So, someone with 100% normally succeeds if there are no modifiers. Someone with 120% normally always succceeds with a 20% difficulty, but the 100er only succeeds 80% of the time. Someone with 200% skill normally succeeds under most conditions, even when a 100er is reduced to a negligible skill. If you cap skills at 100%, then having a difficulty modifier of -60 means that even experts are reduced to 40%, which makes little sense to me.

Lunar Mythology is interesting. I had forgotten about Osentalka. Essentially, Osentalka is the god that the Broken Council wanted to make and Nysalor is what they made. I think that Osentalka incorporates both Nysalor and Gbaji. Probably not, as the Moon Goddesses were not very well known at the time. They probably did embody some of the powers of the various Moon Goddesses, but not conciously and not deliberately. I think that they then recognised the Moon Goddesses after the Red Goddess was born and started her research/HeroQuesting. I think the Seven Mothers HeroQuested as their original deities, so Queen Deezola used Ernaldan powers, Irripi Ontor used Lhankor Mhy powers, Yanafal Tarnils used Humakti powers and so on. At that point, they were not Heroes, they were just HeroQuestors. Later on they became SuperHeroes, then Deities and awakened their Lunar abilities, but at that time they had not done so. I remember reading somewhere that Yanafal Tarnils went into Hell, found the Red Goddess impaled on a spike (or crucified, I cannot remember which) and took her place, allowing her to escape. She then came back to rescue him, or freed him in the same Quest, again I can't remember the details. He fought Humakt to a standstill, but he had his bodyguard of Heroes whereas Humakt's bodyguard of Heroes had run off chasing the Young Elementals, or some such Lunar demons. Still, it was still impressive. I also seem to remember, although it might be an unofficial thing, that Yanafal Tarnils was not defeated by Humakt because he was actually killed in the fight but returned from death, thereby breaking the prime Humakti geas. I didn't know about stealing Orlanth's Chariot. Mastakos wouldn't have been very happy about that. His early HeroQuests might have been as a Yelm Hero/HeroQuestor, so it makes sense that he did some Solar HeroQuesting. However, his Lunar connection has always been there, unlike the Seven Mothers, so he would always have had a Lunar spin to things. I very much doubt that he infiltrated the cult of Orlanth, as Orlanth and the Lunars are very opposed and always have been.

Mythras and Legend are similar enough that it would be easy to use a Legend supplement with Mythras and vice versa. As Legend is OGL, it is easier to produce supplements, as no permission is required. However, Loz and Pete are very nice people and are very reasonable and practical, so licence negotiations should be OK, unless they are possessed by Business Demons, in which case all bets are off.

There aren't spells for creating undead that I could find. Of course, it would be easy to use the old Create Zombie/Skeleton/Vampire/Ghoul spells and adapt them to Legend.

I am sure the Greydog Clan and Geo's use barrels. They could use amphorae or similar for storing beer, but barrels feel better to me.

Blood Magic contains the following: Blood Magic Sorcery Rules Summoning Rules, including designing demons Bloody Campaigns - How to do them Arms of Legend is the equipment supplement and contains: Adventuring Gear and Basics Trading and Quality Armour Weaponry Transport Beasts and Cohorts Enchantments Alchemy The Beasts and Cohorts section includes henchmen, but mainly as people you can hire.

I think that City Gods and Wyters share many attributes. A City God of a small town may well be less powerful than a Wyter of a large tribe. Both are local deities, both support a restricted population and both supply localised and focussed magic. Pavis is definitely worshipped as a deity by many of the people of Pavis. However, his cult also provides Grimoires and various other stuff, so he crosses a lot of boundaries. I think he is a City God, but has wider powers than most, due to his knowledge of sorcery and mysticism. Don't forget that most of the inhabitants of Pavis are not Malkioni, so would not normally venerate Pavis. It is entirely possible to invent a new way of worship specifically for Pavis, but I think that is overkill.

Paolo normally posts here, so he might be able to answer this.
