  1. To be honest I just use the same critical/special rules for all weapons. I find it not worth the bother. Impaling weapons just have the added effect of getting stuck because that adds an actual visual dramatic effect which makes for more interesting combats.
  2. I think it is also of note that he begins at Old Wind. What was the blessing that he asked for? Maybe the Wind's blessing to make his entourage fly Stormwise around Sartar...
  3. I've gone back to the RQ2 way of casting spirit magic where you have a 95% chance to cast a spell on a non resisting target, and POW vs POW when the target resists the spell. And like many others I do not bother to roll outside of combat.
  4. Do note that the original post is from 2012.
  5. In 1613 the Stafford House Campaign tells us I cannot find who these bold souls were. Is it recounted anywhere? The references I can find are: Camille Laurin is not mentioned elsewhere in the Stafford House Campaign, unless it is under a different name. The spelling of the characters names sometimes varied. Alexander Yellowbelly is mentioned a few times but give no further clues as to my question above. There are two mentions of characters owning sky bulls: "...riders of the Sky Bulls, such as Rilar and Toneria." (SHC page 28) "Toneria, a Colymar Orlanthi who claimed to own a Sky Bull which she left home" (SHC page 42) Rilar is named on page 28 as "RILAR BULLFLYER, among the King's Bodyguard". Toneria is only mentioned twice, as noted. These last two probably took part in the quest, but are probably not quest leaders as they are not mentioned elsewhere. Is there a recount of the quest of 1613 somewhere else? I know of the writeup of the quest in TotRM18 but I am thinking specifically of who went on the quest to find Temertain.
  6. The age given for his entry on page cannot be correct. In the section on previous chieftains it notes that he was chieftain of the Red Cow between 1578 and 1602, which is the longest lasting chief of all. And it also says that he was born in 1552 which means that in 1618 he is 64.
  7. I wonder how folks have handled combat in heroquests? I do like the way Jeff describes heroquests as like a dreamquest where things should follow myth and dream logic. But in my mind that does not go very well with how RQ combat is played out. What are your thoughts and experiences?
  8. I'd imagine Hyalor as an ancestor hero cult of the clan. A subcult of Orlanth or Eiritha (For example), giving Command Horse. I think Hyalor is way too small to be anything like a full cult in his own right.
  9. To continue the list the Malani tribe has a long tradition of Humakti kings. And there are definitely peace clans that have Ernaldan ruling queens. As I understand it when you become king of a clan or tribe you initiate into the clan/tribe making mysteries of Orlanth Rex. So you need to follow a friendly or at least neutral cult but you do not need to be Orlanth/Vinga specifically. Even though that is the most common.
  10. Thank you! I will give that a looksie.
  11. Yes I know where the stats are. What I am asking for is how they would use sorcery according to RQG. In fact, any example of an experienced sorcerer would be useful.
  12. Hello everyone! I wonder if there has been a vampire or dancer in darkness sorcerer statted up for RQG? I have an idea involving one but I am a little confused as to how a sorcerer without POW would work...
  13. I love this and it makes so much gloranthan sense to me. I have just one question: Does this mean that a telmori Humakti (for example) is NOT therefore a wolf brother and does not change on Wild days, as they are not initiated into Telmor? Or is it simply that their adulthood intitiation as telmori that is the one that carries the curse, not the "cult" initiation so to speak?
  14. I just want to add that you can easily just houserule that you can only cast one spell per round no exceptions and it will break nothing and it will mean that you do not have to bother with counting Strike Ranks. I do that in my campaign. It is one thing that I have done to speed up and simplify combat: I just use SR to see who will get the first hit in when two combatants meet and rarely bother with modifying it for movement etc. It makes it easier to keep combat flowing, I find.
  15. I am working of converting and rewriting the Stormwalk Path heroquest/scenario from TotRM18 to the RQG rules and to work with my pcs. I am running the Coming Storm campaign and it will probably happen in Storm Season of 1618 for them.
