    To be fair, this is in the original. ”If you believe in fairies, wave your handkerchiefs and clap your hands.” 🙂

    Not belief, practice. Gloranthan gods don’t care about belief. The focus on faith and belief is a very Christian one that even most other world religions don’t replicate (you’re a believing Christian, but a practicing Muslim, or an observant Jew).

    They started out as (mostly) Yggites, but the Wolf Pirates have recruited people from all over the place, and the original Yggites have become a minority. So the second. You can likely find completely oddball cults among the Wolf Pirates.

    One possibly meaningful differentiation is whether you HeroQuest in the past or HeroQuest in a myth of the past. The latter seems completely reasonable to me - any myth can presumably be heroquested (even demonstrably factually false ones), so if it reached mythic status (which is a safe bet for the siege of the Clanking City), this strikes me as entirely reasonable.

    Beast people in the same ways Broos are and aren’t, I would say?

    Depth. I would expect depth.

    My players are looking to pick it up purely to counter demoralization - no-one actually wants the fanatic state.

    Berserk protects you from drowning.

    Since we don’t have an official ruling, every GM will have to decide whether ”defensive” means ”provides defence” or ”non-offensive”. This will make a significant difference.

    This issue is inherent in combining looks & personality with potential for divine and spiritual connection. It's not obvious why the Bloody Tusk would care about your CHA, unless these two factors are metaphysically linked somehow.

    Ducks get the full 3d6. 😉

    Mounted Praxian action-RPG seems like it might work.
  13. Akhôrahil
    Possibly more, depending on just what beasts the Lost Tribes had.
  14. Akhôrahil
    What would be some other lost/extinct animals? The Lopers are a Big Deal, there are the animals of the Lost Tribes of Prax like the Long-Noses (and if the HeroWars aren’t the time for one of them to return, I don’t know what is), the Imperial Gazellet (I never understood that myth), the Ordeeds, most of the 40 Ancient Beasts of Danmalastan…

    Shield means you don’t have to look for any other Rune Magic. As always, it’s outrageously good.
  16. Akhôrahil
    Argan Argar had it as well. Guide p. 150 (as well as Troll Gods and Gods of Glorantha).

    Fighting with combs and scissors sounds great to me! To quote Edmund Blackadder, "It was a viciously sharp slice of mango, wasn’t it, sir…"
  18. Akhôrahil
    This sounds great, and covers an area of the HeroWars that is at the same time very important and covered very little as yet.
  19. Akhôrahil
    In the HQ era, a big deal was made of the notion that gods can't really see the actions of individuals, so they have to punish whole communities for the sins of individuals and the people on the ground have to catch the specific offender. I don't think this suggestion remains in RQG, though.
  20. Akhôrahil
    And Shadow, to complete the set (IIRC).
  21. Akhôrahil
    RQG tried to streamline the runes, so the ones outside the basic structure (apart from Chaos) didn't get a place. You can see this in Lhankor Mhy as well, going from Law to Stasis as second rune. You could easily chose to retain these runes in your own publications, although some boxed text on how to pick them up (including in chargen) would probably be helpful, then (or PCs might end up with no way to cast their rune spells, which would be bad).

    Don’t forget that if the resurrection is important enough (and finding a secret murderer is important!), then cults like Ernalda and Daka Fal can do it as well, merely costlier.
  23. Akhôrahil
    While this kinda works, if you’re already doing resurrection, finding someone to Dismiss that Spirit Block shouldn’t be too hard.
  24. Akhôrahil
    We played a D&D murder mystery once, that clearly anticipated how the PCs would all break out Speak With Dead and stuff, but the perpetrator was Doppleganger, so...
  25. Akhôrahil
    The LM spell Knowledge is another potentially instant mystery-wrecker, provided you count a corpse as an "item" (and even if not, just use it on the shirt with the hole from the knife in it).
