Why do you consider Jack O'Bears and dragonsnails to be inconvenient?

Could you please share the title of the other 4 scenarios?

Do you know if it's possible to just look?

HT Publishers announced last month that the first supplement they want to publish with the Revd100 rules will be called Roma: El fin de la República (Rome: The End of the Republic), which will be about the noir genre in the Eternal City. An interesting twist.

I'm loving this discussion. Keep it up!

So why were the dragonewts interested in raiding the Cradle. And more importantly: why is their blood purple? 😆

What will happen in next session?

I don't know, but the publishing company who publishes Cthulhu in Japan produced a book years ago called "The Burning of Mount Hiei" which I think it includes rules for martial arts and even mass combat, as it is based during the Sengoku period (16th century), with samurai, ninjas and warrior monks. Perhaps Chaosium is planning to publish that book?

Gloranthan coins from Campaign Coins? I wonder what that means. @Jeff? But thanks a lot for the news Texarkana!!!!!

How much was the copy of the draft? And, any news from the Chaosium panels?

I love Glorantha because myths are not only crucially important as they were for our ancestors in Antiquity, but they are also gameable. That really helps to make players interested in the background.

Just the key NPCs, IMO. It would also be nice to have different challenges than combat expressed in RQG terms. For example, a trap, a negotiation, etc. Of course, only when these challenges are more complicated than just "roll for Climb".

I love it.

It would be cool if Chaosium published a RQG stat list of all the PCs in The Eleven Lights. IMHO it would increase sales.

Yay!!! Finally!

I have in mind to run an all-Aldryami minicampaign, some day. It will probably be based in The Garden, the elven forest in the Big Rubble. Any cool ideas are welcome.

I like the puzzles, the maps and drawings. But I hate that you can kill everybody and still be the hero.

What happened in my RQ3 campaign was that some clever adventurers trained a little and then risked dodging against not-so dangerous foes in order to get experience checks. Then one day, I made the mistake of letting dodge downgrade the success level of the attack. They were complaining that it wasn't fair that a successful dodge wasn't any use against a special attack. It kind of made sense, so I let them houserule that. But then, as they became better and better at dodging, it became increasingly difficult for enemies to hurt them at all. SO, the morale of the story is: never houserule that dodge downgrades the success level of attacks. When I told one of the players that now dodging was far superior to parrying, he replied: "Perhaps, but think about all the risky effort we've put into getting a high % at dodging... Partying was always the easy way..."

I have updated my review with the info on spirit combat and shamanism included with the 6th PC, Vishi Dun, an assistant shaman (but not a shaman!).

I have grabbed it and read it and even written about it in my updated review.

23 years since the Coders... and I still have to run that scenario in my Prax/Pavis campaign...! Will you be writing any scenarios like that, MOB?

Well done! What character did the 12-year-old pick?

Not a typo, but I think it would be good for the runes and passions of the PCs to be ordered from highest % to lowest. This would help players know what are their best assets and on what passions to focus when roleplaying their characters.

Exactly, isn't it incredible? And I loved that supplement BTW, one of my all time favourites.

In my long-standing Pavis campaign I'm running with RQ3, we created a house rule that looks exactly like the one included in the Quickstart, like many other GMs did. Only the catalogue of spells became slowly available as you sacrificed POW to get runic points (we called them "faith points"). We also didn't like theists using spirit magic, so we added most spirit magic as runic spells to the spells available to each cult. Right now, most of the player characters in my campaign have about 14 or 15 runic points. I guess it's time for them to become rune lords. But then, what if no position for rune lord and rune lady opens up in the temples in Pavis?
