I'm always keen to receive feedback(mainly) to make my next attempts better. I would be interesting in feedback on Rubble Runners Vol - 1 A Collection of Pavic personalities https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/302067/Rubble-Runners--A-collection-of-Pavis-Characters Positive Stuff: Which were you favourite characters and why? What worked? Did the characters that pushed the envelope a little work? Negative Stuff What didn't work? Were any characters dull or uninteresting? Did anything fail to make sense? Answer any of these or completely different questions you think are helpful? The only thing I ask is that because fan publishing is a labour of love, as well as being truthful, and honest, be kind in your manner to.

Thanks Rick, really useful. Targets set now

Prinz drop me a couple of examples. You have just described my english skills perfectly, but most of the document was thoroughly proofed by a third party apart from back pages and the settings area. Which i've reread and cant find anything glaring.

We have a new addition as well https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/302067/Rubble-Runners--A-collection-of-Pavis-Characters

The coders were a wonderful creations, it would have been great to have them on the table for 1625 -1627 ...

Ok thats useful for me I ways I never expected. So an garden elf in suntown is not going to popular by 1625?

@Jeff do we have a take on which notables didn't make it through the liberation, either in one piece or in there former position? I have put a line through all lunars, Hallarax the Singer, Haloric Glowbrow, Jorjar the Quick, Malavar Patroma, Faltikus the Good, Benderri ( natural causes ), Another notable demises your willing to divulge? Tala Errio - I've got down as a mysterious disappearance.

Hoping to have some business for you soon

There is a a complexity to the rules i dont think i want to face.

I'm not as engaged with this I could be today, but it is leading me to believe that socery is too difficult and complex to bother with in a game.

Bolas and lasso seem very praxian weapons to me, but don't appear in RQG rules. Are they praxian weapons?

Hi, that bit refers to whole structure/hierarchy of the cult and references everything from initiates though priests and to rune lords. To extrapolate what it means specifically for initiates possibly isn't the best bit of RQG to use. It suggest the sections in 274 -275 specifically about Initiates give a clearer picture. Jon

I don't know where you have got the idea from that initiates lead sacrifices and ceremonies, I've reread the rules and its just not there. It read it likes its Possible but it would not be usual. Initiates can sacrifice power and are expected to sacrifice magic points, but its usually someone higher up leading the worship. Id don't think your structure reflects how runequest lays it out.

Within Glorantha an initiate is a committed worshipper, the role that you expect them fulfill is the role of priest, devotees, god talkers, shamans and to a certain extend rune lords. So A lay member is a casual or pantheistic worshipper. An initiate is a committed worshipper but not usually leader. The religious leaders are Runelords, priests, shamans, etc. However you start to get limited access to the cool magic at initiate level.

Initiates have always been almost universal in Gloranthan society, the modification of runemagic in RQG has made the casting of rune magic by initiates more common and accessible. This both affects PC's and NPC's. How that affects everyone I think we yet to work out. IMHO Most NPC's initiates would have a rune point total of between 1and 5, some will be alreday spent, and other points will be budgeted in for specific tasks before the year end, and sacred time renewal. Also most people would select day to day useful spells and no combat orientated options. However with the new rules I would expect more NPC's initiates throwing rune magic around in life or death situations than we had before, I think that makes the game more engaging and interesting. Its not just the PC's magic that got pumped in RQG.

To my mind that is a false distinction they are one and the same. I challenge you a good range of adults to show stated in official publications whoa re not initiates, intiiatehood is near universal in adult Orlanthi society. The differences in other religion is possible and may fit, but its never been explicitly stated by anyone anywhere, YGMV but to claim that what glorantha is like doesn't reflect the wider held position. IMHO the widespread nature of magic in Glorantha is a key component in what makes the world so unique & special. To demystify the world and reduce magic to begin something that isn't common is not in keeping with the spirit of the world. Also to make the players a powerful subset of the population again seems to break the world view I have.

id agree, but i think we have gained a lot more than we have lost. There were a few placers in Character Creation that i liked the elegance of RQ3, but it dropped a few clangers s well.

I think it was the best yet, more nuanced, not sure why Jeff went the way he did. With 25 years hindsight 3rd ed was better than we originally thought in many aspects

I'm of the opinion that at least in orlanthi Society every adults is an initiate. Most of the worshiper as lay members in an orlanth society, will be ad hoc worship of Gods within the pantheon, which you are not initiated to. Other cultures maybe more restrictive. I've seen very NPC's stated up in RQ who are not at least initiates

Your dangling carrots again Jeff .... when, when , when ..... I know you cant answer

A similar question to the passions question ealrier; Are the geases for Humatki, Yelmalio, are they Intended as definitive lists of what does exist within the cults in game world examples of things that could exists within the cults, and is presented a limited list for sake of brevity and game play My view they are examples of what could be, do others agree? Also do gifts and geases exist for other cults but are less common? Is there a connection between the truth rune and gifts and geases?

Depends on the quality.... i think everything i've seen so far in terms of quality to price seems well priced. Martins books at the top end is a labor of love that (i will purchasing after Christmas) , that deserves the high price. Most of the scenario packs for $5.00 seem like cracking value.

I think the movement rate being flat for each race is one of the weaknesses of RQG, but there is a limited to how detailed you want you a simulationist system to be. I'd toyed with modifying movement rate by dex 13-16 , +1, 17- 21 +2, etc .... But CoC Things works too.

Is the list of passions within the rule-book exhaustive or illustrative? Or where on the sliding scale between the two does it fit?

You've just mentioned 4 independent groups that could be in any state of disrepair, or could become self appointed authority in a power vacuum. Argarath may have his stuff together, but he may be overseeing a disaster like Libya posy Gidaffi or everything in between.
