    I used to play Traveller, RQ2, CoC, D&D3. I've never GMed any
  • Current games
    I'm not in any FTF games, one of our longstanding players died a while ago, and we haven't felt like RPGing in their absence, though we meet for other things.

  1. Transfer pregnancy is an Uleria cult spell available to initiates. Uleria welcomes initiates who are also initiates into other cults...
  2. Threre is also Durbaddath the Lion god of Pelanda and Peloria. Presumably the Lunar Lasadag Lions regiment has some link to him
  3. Storm barbarians are an ideal background from which to grab a bunch of adventurers. Their culture promotes innovation, valour and the overturning of 'unreasonable' constraints. On the down side they seem to be rather too easily swayed to follow unscrupulous leaders who have great charisma and battlefield success, but veer off into strange novel hybrids of storm myth often with disastrous results.
  4. Gloranthan horses are descended from Gamara / Hippoi who used to have wings when she was Hippogriff so a feathered horse might be a throwback/heroquest-result that has actual feathers instead of hair, even if not winged
  5. I played a Chalana Arroy who cast sleep on a dragonewt who was going to attack her party (due to missunderstanding related to a Godlearner artifact). I persuaded the party and dragonewt to co-operate and though in some ways appreciative, the Dragonewt's obligation to the healer (for furthering it's own quest) was regarded a constraint on its own spiritual development in transcending worldly concerns
  6. Do you still call it Fireday if you're a Yelmalian and it's your minor holy day? or should you call it Flashday or something?
  7. Maybe an Uncoling trader who comes south for the winter with a few of his reindeer
  8. Brown elves sleep 'all winter' I've always assumed that this means all of Dark Season, and in most years most of Storm Season (Storm Season being unpredictable and sometimes spring-like). Should it be more mythologically orthodox (ignoring weather) and always last from the start of Dark Season to the end of Sacred Time? I assume pixies also sleep through the winter if they are linked to herbaceous small flowering plants, though I suppose some may represent evergreen 'herbs' like thyme or rosemary.
  9. Not that it's that relevant to the old anglo-saxon 1 hide supporting one extended peasant family, but by the Norman conquest 1 hide was assessed as whatever area gave the equivalent around 220 silver pennies annual income (for tax purposes). They were allocated to towns villages or estates in multiples of 5 hides in the Doomsday Book
  10. The acre was a bit of a movable feast originally, being the area of land that a early medieval European ploughman with two oxen could work in an average day in the open field system. That might depend a fair bit upon soil type or the year's weather. When it needed standardising it became 66 feet (20.1m) by 660 feet (201m), 43500 square-feet (4050m^2) in England. That's 1/80 of a mile by 1/8 of a mile which was the fashion at the time, chains and furlongs and such.
  11. Rufelza would have to work extra hard to make nondescript ropes invisible. I'll bet Ernalda prefers her invisible ropes to be green...
  12. Maybe more often in Dark Season and particularly Fire Season when Heler's farmer lay-members are less likely to be needed in the fields ?
  13. Waterday is a minor holy day for Heler (Lightbringers) Mastakos's holy days correspond to those of the Dominant deity, e.g Orlantha or Ernalda (Lightbringers) Ty Kora Tek is propitiated each Wildday by earth cultists (Earth Goddesses)
  14. or the earlier one here
