Bill the barbarian

and just as many true facts! As opposed to them false ones... @soltakss did you leave the portal ajar? Oh heck, his drivel is at least as good as mine and he has has over a couple thousand more posts of practice... MORE BEER! ...and g33k no more riding unicorns and drinking... you might spill yer beer!

Yes, Shiningbrow nailed it. They wanted to be able to read and write but wanted it for free. All Characters can start at 10% plus communication bonus, if they wish in RAW. and pinz.slasar helped to put it away Again, the above comments are RAW. I also like all the roleplaying conventions that have been mentioned, They do explain why the cap would be 10% plus communications bonus, and why one would have to go out of their way (debt to the church, clan local pawn shop/Issaries priest with a loan and some training time sacrificed or some such plan) to improve beyond the cap. It would be so much easier as a barbarian to just sing and dance one's rituals as they have always been done. . Nicely done all.

1002 and two and counting, I guess, by the time you see this! Ooh, I like the inference that I compare to Scheherazade. Hopefully in cleverness and tale telling, not beauty as my picture to the left attests. . And you thought the inane drivel would improve, hah! Cheers

Let us RQ savvy and KAP ignorant types know how it went. Curious minds, and all. Cheers

I Would like to thank you all for coming to help me celebrate my 1000th post of inane drivel, (yay)! Yer not here fer that? You’re here for the Barbarian Wisdom? The free beer..? Oops, sorry I had to use that line… "bare naked ladies" was already in use up here in the great white north… (sh*t) But really, this is all your fault. How, you ask? Really? "Barbarian Wisdom" didn’t send up flags..? "Free beer" Hell, I might have said unicorn rides… (good one, I think I’ll add that to the tags)... It’s hard to draw a crowd, ya know? Sheesh... What the critics are saying Let’s hope we don’t have to endure another thousand! —Many What! Is he still here? —Someone else, a little wiser I want to play a rich, powerful duck! —Bill the Barb… err, Tim the Librarian... What was the question? —a random Storm Bull MORE BEER! Burp! —a less random Storm Bull You got a problems with ducks, Bub? —Quackatoa Cheers PS Sooorrrrry, I’ll go back to my dungeon now...

on the 50th anniversary of the Festival of Three Days of Peace and Music, might I recommend that some of us take the advice of Canned Heat and Go up to the Country, Go someplace we have never been before.... Check these crazed Donandar Devotees, hard at worship! https://youtu.be/eYKY2lpxMg8 Hey.isn't that Greg Stafford at 1 minute and 18 seconds?

And a majority of those points apply to the wonderful women of the sixties as well... They were Hippies, escaping the horrors of the Mutually Assured Destruction, partying because the War to End All Wars was coming. They were the children of Feminists, or had been Feminists themselves, so they knew they had to fight to get the ERA and many other rights yet to be won. They were breaking down barriers, becoming the first woman to do many things They were the women of the Me too movement before there was one, with horror stories of their own. They were the children, grandchildren or great grandchildren of slaves or oppressed minorities. They were all of the above, or none of the above, or some of the above. Well done, as always, soltakss! Cheers!

Proving the pen (not to mention a high-powered handgun) to be mightier than the sword, and now he works for Chaosium!

Whilst...

Yes, but which one?

Why then... Mayhap's, I will make of that idea... a hat... or maybe a bowtie... a Pterodactyl, p'raps? and quit calling me Shirley, already!

And I thought I had played all of Alan's works, Never having had QuestWorld this one slipped by.

not sure if that will keep one from being gregged for long. Yer mileage, and all that... Cheers

Sartar: Kingdom of Heroes (available @ chaosium.com) will be your source for some great stuff about the dancers of darkness and their boss (not Delecti) here. Cheers

Heh, very zen!

Much easier to ask:) but no, I had not thought to look in the guide... Thanx! Cheers

Yes please do @Jeff, et al. What are official blank lands, if there are any?

Thanks all! No, but thank you for doing so, anyway. Nice contribution to the community which is after all, how it works! Cheers

Play a scale or play for scale? Two different things! Whilst a union musician can definitely play for scale...

 Or for Dragons, surely! And dinosaurs... Saurischians... Ornithischians... (I hope you see the slippery garden path, here...) and union musicians... Not too mention stand-up comics (too late)... and quit calling me Shirley, dammit!

Finally see where all the confusion to my posts on Sunday originated... well, besides my bad eyes. Where it says Correct, one reason while non-traditional riddles are suspect it should say Correct, one reason why non-traditional riddles are suspect Oops!

The Holy Hand Grenade of Mirin's Cross? "and the count shall be three..."

Until that occurs, if Cults of Prax or Cults/Lords of Terror are on sale they do go into the level of detail to give the textures and depths to parts of of your Glorantha that you mention, above. Cheers

It is nasty, no?

Thanks for pointing out that my old skool rememberings still found a home in RQ G! Cheers!
