I like that idea a lot, although I would need to test is first. I would probably only allow it for initiates who already have all their deity's spells as described in RQG, to represent the fact that they have had some experience with their deity's magic. You could, for example, let PCs who have Rune points in excess of the available special Rune spells improvise Rune spells in a given situation, which then become fixed to one or two of those Rune points in excess of the available Rune spells, so that would mean they learnt the spell when they sacrificed for the Rune point. This ties with my assumption that every time you learn a new Rune spell, you actually undertake a mini-heroquest in which you reenact some deed of your deity.

So here's Heler by Loïc Muzy:

I like it that baboon shamans can be so powerful. 🙂

And apparently he was!!! I just found this on Facebook today, posted by him: A NEW ALDRYAMI MYTH In the late '90s and early '00s I was working on what eventually became a pair of books about the Aldryami, one for Issaries (and HeroQuest) and one for Mongoose (and their variant of RuneQuest). As part of my preparation for that work, I wrote about 20 short Aldryami myths, most of them in service to theme issues of Tradetalk magazine. I am now once more starting work on an Aldryami book, this to be the be-all and end-all, for my preferred Glorantha system, Chaosium's original RuneQuest (yay!). And as part of that I've decided to start writing new myths, which I'll post here every few weeks (and maybe someday collect and publish in the Jonstown Compendium, or something, but that's a topic and a tangle for another year). So here's the first. If you enjoy it, you can pay me back with a writing prompt (in the comments). Tell me a person, place, thing, topic, title, or something similar that you'd like to read an Aldryami myth about. Like the topics for those Tradetalks of times past, they'll help me to approach the myths of the Aldryami from a wide variety of directions, and to consider a wide variety of things. (No promise I'll use all the prompts, but if I do I'll be sure to thank you in credits, and also send you a compilation of the myths I wrote 15-25 years ago. And I'm the most likely to use a prompt if it gives me the scope to write about something big or notable.)

So this weekend an improvised virtual con consisting of panels to talk about Gloranthan and non-Gloranthan topics was advertised and organised on Facebook and conducted on Discord. And I missed it completely 😫 even though I had been forewarned! So, if you managed to attend, would you mind sharing what interestings bits you learned from it? ☺️ (pretty please?)

Because you are destroying Air for your own gain, which is the same as advancing entropy little by little.

Hi there! Here's my opinion about the rules in the Mythras Companion. Do you disagree? 😋 Have you tried out the social conflict and/or the chase rules? (Happy New Year, BTW, and plenty of good games for all!)

Jeff's unending teasers on FB The excellent Jonstown Compendium releases The art in The Red Book of Magic All the entries in the art contest in Wind Words #8

For M-Space I guess I would use a mix of The Expanse TV show and the setting in Elevation.

Similar to Apple Lane? 😛

That would be great. Shannon Applecline might be tempted. 😛

All of them or just some?

Perhaps @Jeff or @Jason D can help me with these questions: 1. Are all the Rune spells in The Red Book of Magic going to be included again with their descriptions in the upcoming Gods & Goddesses of Glorantha? Or only their names to save space? 2. Are there any Rune spells described in The Red Book of Magic belonging to cults that won't be described in the upcoming Gods & Goddesses of Glorantha? (But perhaps in much later publications?) 🤔

One of the most famous prophecies is by the demi-goddess Cragspider. I believe she has prophetic powers because, being an incarnation of Aranea, she is also related to Arachne Solara in some way, and Arachne Solara is the mother of Time.

The Pavis book being the exception. OK, and the Guide to Glamour. When the Nochet book is finally published, I guess we will get a description of the Lanbril cult in the city.

Lanbril is popular in Pavis and other big cities. It's the god of thugs, thieves and urban organized crime, while Eurmal is the god of fools and buffoons.

Hi, I've translated into English the combat example I wrote years ago: https://elruneblog.blogspot.com/2020/12/samurai-duel-combat-example-with-mythras.html I hope it can help starting GMs and players to get a better grasp of the rules. 😊

Since he stole it from the Lunars, perhaps the "Red" part means the sword has some Lunar powers.

@Gamesmeister if you are looking for the myth of the Lightbringers' Quest, you need to get a copy of either The Book of Heortling Mythology or the videogame King of Dragon Pass. The myth is described there, but you will need to turn it into playable material. The Short Lightbringers' Quest is also briefly described in pages 202-203 of Sartar: Kingdom of Heroes.

I'd suggest the Path of the Goddess, where she was trapped in the Underworld by Chaos, and Yanafal Tarnils came to her rescue.

How do you set the different blue dice buttons on the bottom left corner?

Unless they are spirits with Rune points! Aha! 😄

I guess the spirit can only harm one target with Spirit Combat, but it can still defend from attacks. So probably, after rolling Spirit Combat against the target it wants to harm, the other rolls are just to avoid harm, it can harm only one target per round. I guess that also applies to everyone engaged with more than one opponent in Spirit Combat.

Like this in the case of Disruption: https://elruneblog.blogspot.com/2020/11/playing-runequest-glorantha-chaotic.html Sorry I don't have an example for a friend with True Sword helping Balgan, but perhaps I should add one once I have a clear picture of how that should work.

Awesome! I love how Yara Aranis or Perhaps Sedenya gets her small corner on the front cover.
