Bill the barbarian

It just occurs to me, many of the Elmali clans, tribes, and cities seem to have been Lunar sympathizers or allies. Not that they were in reality but it seems to be common thought amongst the more traditional Heortland peoples. The Alda Churi Overtribe comes to mind (especially the treacherous Dinacoli) as the reason for distrusting Elmali. Do the pony clans of the Colymar and Runegate have such problems. (yes, no?).

Hey, hey, hey... spoilers my good man, spoilers!

I will try to act my age and spell the word out in full in the future. Clarity can surely benefit from such a policy. Brootse, of course, is correct with rules as written. Maximum Game Fun is correct and i promise to break my promise already. I will use MGF from now on (for my maximum fun, dammit!!). Apologies, but easy promised, easy...

Yeah, how quickly they grow up and leave the nest! <sniff>

Well, then why poor Elmal, then... I guess it is still 2 out of 3.

Dragonrise It is now 1625, not 1613... Sartar is no longer occupied, The Storm Bulls smell blood and are seeking it. The Lunars realize it is their blood being smelled and well, Time marches on...

It's a question of relations, history and politics, Mastakos is family. Though Elmal is claimed as family by marriage and is considered a loyal thane, let's face it, he is the Orlanthi pantheon's face of the tamed and beaten sun. Insult is added as he is made a loyal thane, a bit of a come down from former glory.

I would think that Elmal being subordinate to Orlanth (he's Orlanth's servant, horseman) would, if not negate association, make if much more difficult.

Thanks David, wow, did I miss that. See what happens,Ochoa, when you accept a barbarian in place of a real sage (they aren't always out to lunch). As David says, there is a lot of material in the companion and if you want data about the temple, this is the better bang. Have a look at the glorantha-technology-and-glorantha-material-technology thread in its entirety just for the hell of it, Great thread, great read! Still love the Church windmill. Cheers

Sorry the sage you wish to be connected to is out to lunch, in his place we offer you a barbarian. Dragon Pass - a Gazetteer of Kerofinela - PDF found in Hero Quest and Glorantha Vaults at Chaosium.com Half page of text and a classic illustration by William Church Creaking and groaning, whistling and whirring, the wind-mills turn in glory to Orlanth.

Not so, the smaller side of a melon baller a black and decker drill and Doctor Google can be used to excise the correct part of the brain to remove the offending memories. Don't try this at home, may cause addiction to 70's sitcoms, sleeplessness, sleepiness, addiction to Fox News shows, belief that Fox has news shows...

Oh, how did I do that one?

Right on! All we need now is to summon our favourite beetle breeder to ask him to pin this incredible forum soltakss, @Trifletraxor

For improved odds of writing a healthy puppy of a script as opposed to the less desirable Trollkin of a text, one could always start with rituals, meditation, a good bowel movement never hoits. :)

Uz police here, we've 'ad reports we 'ave. Come quietly, now that's a good Rune Lord... <censored due to unseemly and gratuitous violence... see below> Cheers

Oh, and how could I forget, Enjoy your first game! Cheers

It seems, RAW tend to simplify rather than complicate if given the choice. That is a sacrifice of gritty realism for ease. For example most SR mods are 5 so there is no difference twixt drawing dagger and drawing a great sword. You. of course are welcome to use what charts you make or find to replace this with your preference. I deided to answer before reading the others and it is nice to see soltakss and I agree. Cheers! RAW, for this to be relevant they both will have be moving. In the original post it is not clear if the opponent is also moving. Games varying and all... Now that's just silly.

Ahh, intant illumination!

Hell, get totally contrarian and spread the blame to one and all. Or is that so egalitarian as to become quite agreeable in the end? I'm confused.

No, doesn't ring a bell. You get the credit when you write that one up, I'm thinking.

No, does not ring a bell.

Ironically, Arneberg's original complaint was all the rage back in the pre internet days that we used telegraph messages, smoke signals and dial up modems to communicate, Though, then an Orlanthi All was wondering why the urbans were so well represented and when would we get back to Sartar and carry on from Apple Lane. La plus ça change... Cheers

If you do not mind a little handwaving and arbitrating spells and skills that are a little different (BRP rules which I believe are based on RQ 2), I truly must recommend the original urban setting for RQ, Pavis and the Big Rubble. Though they are for RQ 2 (again, BRP) they are available as one PDF under Glorantha Classics, and they are cheap (ish). Comes complete with an urban sand box with a massive dungeon complex very near at hand and ruins inhabited by am elder race or three (with interesting and shining things carelessly left lying around for the right fingers to come across). and a couple of cults for your urban adventurer with loose morals and a couple of ready built adventures for such folk. Might satisfy until the real thing comes along. Cheers

Thanks to Viktor Haag for allowing a little thread theft, and to soltakss for his answer. cheers

Move over M Helsdon, looks to me like you have some competition. :) Thanks anyway about the tattoos, If they don't fit, it looks like you have enough work without adding more. Cheers
