So herd men are fed other herd men when necessary?

Colourised version of page 94 now added into the previous post on this.

From Kalin: Greetings gentle readers! As you can see, this week we actually won’t have a page up either. In fact, after discussing things with Jeff, we have decided to end Chapter 5 here. The page that was supposed to go out today will instead be the beginning of Chapter 6, as we continue towards the real battle for the Cradle. Prince of Sartar will be back on track at the end of February, as I take the time from regular posting to catch up on pages and have enough of those ready by the time we’re back! (This also has the added side benefit of giving my colorist the time to work properly on each page, and not try and burn himself out every week due to backlogs)

I've edited the posting for page 92 to add the new coloured version.

From Kalin: Hey everyone…sooo, as you can see, today’s page, beyond just being really late, is also rather devoid of color. Again. I always try to be straight with you about this, so here’s how it is – our colorist is working himself silly trying to color things and balance other jobs, so he simply wasn’t able to make it this week, HOWEVER we did get page 92 uploaded in full color, so you should go back and check that out (I think it turned out great!). Also, next week, Jeff and I will be attending an event here in Bulgaria, and as such we decided it would be for the best to give next week off to our colorist, just so he’ll have a chance to catch his breath. Whether that means I’ll upload another black and white page, or the page will be missing altogether, I can’t tell you right now, since I just don’t know. I apologize yet again for the constant delays and page-skips we’ve had in our schedule for the past year or so, however real life keeps getting in the way, as it is wont to do. Meanwhile, I hope you enjoy the bloodshed! – Kalin

Kalin also posted the following with the above page: Greetings everyone, and I hope your Sacred Time rites were successful during the holidays! I would just like to personally thank all of you – those who support us on Patreon and make this comic possible ,as well as those of you who just follow us every week. You guys are great! Now, as you can see the comic this week looks slightly…colorless. The reason for that is simple – our colorist simply didn’t have the time during the holidays, so I decided that instead of making you wait even longer, I’ll just post the page in this version, while we all await the colored one. Once that one is done, I’ll simply replace it here. 2016 was kind of rough for the comic, what with me having to pause it a few times just to catch up with life, other work and all kinds of stuff like that. But we’re still going, and that’s what’s important! I will, of course, try and not let stuff like this happen in 2017, but let’s be real here – I can’t actually promise anything, except that I will try my best. – Kalin

That's a real shame, Martin. I do hope that you'll reconsider. I always enjoy your postings, and your illustrations are excellent.

As the famous Lhankor Mhy sage Artho See Clerk one said, "Any sufficiently advanced magic is indistinguishable from technology".

Please consider publishing this stuff via Chaosium, Martin. As you know from Dragonmeet (where I had the pleasure of meeting you briefly), Jeff himself seems very interested in your work. I realise it's extra work for you to turn this into an actual publication, but the look of your manuscript on armies was already very professional. And I think you can see the interest already from potential buyers in this thread (add me to that list too, please). You do great work, Martin, keep it up!

We know that's what you think, I believe you may have mentioned it once or twice before ... What is your source behind your second statement, as I also asked in the post that you quoted? I.e. what is your source for saying that a Humakti may never return from the dead, as opposed to him/her never being able to be resurrected (e.g. through the actions of another). Are you sure that the former is not just your own interpretation? Edit - hmm, it's not very good forum practice to go back and edit your previous posted based on something that I asked in a subsequent reply - i.e. after me asking you for your source in this reply, you went back and edited the post that I was replying to, adding the source. It would have made things a lot more readable if you'd simply added a further reply saying that your source is Cults of Prax.

You can't see the difference between someone else calling the Humakti back to life (e.g. through a Chalana Arroy resurrection), and the Humakti himself choosing the leave the underworld and travel back to the land of the living? What is your canon source for saying "If you are in a state that is defined as being "dead" then as a Humakti you are bound to remain that way"? There's a big difference between someone else resurrecting a Humakti who has been killed in the living world, versus a Humakti who chooses to venture into the Underworld and chooses again to return.

Same for me. Now it seems like their location on the Chaosium website, not the bit.ly shortlink, is the problem.

Martin, you're doing a really great job on this.

Remember the fate of the God Learners ...

Carrying on from the previous thread. @Darius West said: Except that Jeff has already said that's exactly how it works, back in the previous thread - if you're in the underworld then you're dead. What is your source for contradicting this? I'm a bit puzzled about the way that you're trying to argue against Jeff. I could understand it if you were saying "well, in *my* Glorantha, it works like ...", and that's cool because we all know that YGWV. But you don't seem to be doing that, you seem to be trying to argue the canon.

Ooh, a Print & Play of Khan of Khans has just gone out to all Kickstarter backers of the Classic RuneQuest campaign. Thanks, Rick!

I'm surprised that anyone would still be trying to argue against what Jeff has already said so clearly above While YGWV, as Greg, Jeff and others have always encouraged, I don't think it's helpful to try and argue that what Jeff has said here is "wrong". That's very different from just choosing an alternative interpretation for your own games.

I was lucky enough to play Khan of Khans with MOB at Dragonmeet, London. The design of the game is genius. It's very simple to learn the rules, but I can see it having a lot of replay value. Can't wait until this is released now, I'll be buying it for sure.

Oops, sorry, this is last week's page and I thought I posted it a week ago. But I messed up and posted the previous page again. Doh! http://www.princeofsartar.com/comic/89-shrieks-of-pain/
