And if you need background info there are the heroquest glorantha, sartar books, that gives tons of info on the colymar tribe, of which the pregens are in a sub-clan of. Even maps of the same area, and adventure hooks.

This is one of the clever mechanics of the opposed roll, actually.

If we have a contest, your skill is 40 while mine is 20, if we both roll a "normal success", my possible rolls are 05-20, while yours are 09-40, meaning even if we both nominally "succeed", it's much more likely your normal success was better (higher) than mine, because of your intrinsically higher skill.

This was a clever way to implement a "better" result within a "same" success category that didn't involve mathy subtraction to figure who had the better differential vs their skill....same result, MUCH simpler, albeit a little counter intuitive until you get it.

 

 

A similar mechanic used in Heroquest also, and I never quite understood it there, until your explanation here. Now I totally understand it and can explain it to others now, TY.

Has anyone received the PDF yet? I may need to run this twice next Saturday but it would be cool to know how long the adventure is.

Yes, personally received an email yesterday at 1:17pm downloaded today, and reading now.

I'm now registered and have a table reserved at my FLGS (At Ease Games, San Diego, CA.) for this. Now just trying to get the word out.
