Bill the barbarian

That is going on a t-shirt!

Okay, that's a thought. It does open up the can of worms that is; the thought of Than Atyar as trickster, or not.

and his compadre, the Roadrunner. Sorry Wiley, despite the name you are not the trickster of that story.

Done and agreed, this is too good a topic to ruin. No offence intended, just misplaced humour. Cheers

Hurriedly putting on beard and realizing it is the orange one he runs to a wardrobe and puts on his pink beard and floppy shoes, and hobo jacket. Sitting in front of a mirror he takes a couple of minutes to poorly apply (well, over apply) white make up. Putting a red rose in his lapel he admires the effect then replaces his funny glasses with his smart glasses (after all he is about to make a serious speech) realizes he needs a broad brimmed Heortlandi ™ hat to keep off the glare of the lights and give him not only one point of armour but a veneer of Glorantha authenticity (don't go out on the forums without it). Striding purposely to the podium he adjusts his smart glasses and promptly falls over his floppy shoes rolls to a stop at the feet of his debating opponent and raising a finger to the gods declares, "I disagree" Cheers

agreed!

(Placing his comic glasses on his face with his blue dyed beard (the comic glasses are much like his smart looking glasses except they have a pair of eyeballs on 6 inch springs and rather large fuzz and furry eyebrows). I still stand by the joke, I think it was funny. Although i admit to be a bit perturbed at having to defend my sense of humour dressed like this. It is a bit less than dignified. Cheers

Just imagine if JFK had been in Frankfurt when we made that speech... (Putting on grey beard and adjusting it...) For the curious, While in Berlin at the height o the cold war JFK said "Ich bin ein Berliner" Alas, it did not mean what he thought: an appeal to the citizens of Berlin by identifying as one. No, what he had said I am soft jelly filled confection, known in America as a Bismarck or jelly filled doughnut. Doh! Mmm, Bismarck....

And I thought within Egregious Munchkinerry anything goes...

Try soltakss's method below... It's magic, innit? Hide contents OK, so what you do is use tags, specifically the spoiler tag. Within square brackets [] you put the word spoiler and then in another set of square brackets you put /spoiler. So, misspelling so as not to have a spoiler, you put [spoileroo]This is a spoileroo[/spoileroo], but using spoiler instead of spoileroo. There may well be a tag that means "Treat anything inside as text, in which case, I could have used that instead, but not sure what it is. In HTML Code does the trick and that seems to work, so ...  [spoiler]This is a spoileroo[/spoiler]

I do believe I have been Joerged! Is this statement: A Too awful to contemplate? B basically true but wrong in the specifics? Cheers

No, I use the KOTOR 2 rules and the item creation is not only crunchy, it creates crunchy Jedi.... mmm.

Is that Joerg's way of saying"Gee Mr. Barbarian, you were right*? :) * (mostly) Cheers

That is a great concept, bravo!

Yeah this is even better. Again let the circumstances decide and have a guide ready to assist.

I was thinking and I see Philhibbs has a similar thought, that another skill would be required to hold the benefits gained from the mediatation. Seeing his reply I think prefer an idea roll (the difficulty being determined by the GM or table depending on the circumstances) being required to hold the mediation's benefit. for a later time

mmm doughnut...

Worth a mention although it is only a niggling detail, unless this has changed (oh it's so hard to keep up) the pole star has not been at zenith since the world broke. Cheers

Yes, yes, and certainly. Fascinating none the less. May you continue to have to much time on your hands... Cheers

I thought that was where you were going, when I introduce the concept of Glorantha to my new players. I tell them the creek out back is a goddess they enter into treaty with on a sacred day once a year in order to live in harmony with it and in its spheres of influence. A minor diety, perhaps, there are far more important and powerful ones... The truth of this statement is irrelevant, is it A to awful to contemplate, R rumour, T true F false... As far as the players characters are concerned it is not only real but verifiable. Mess up the ceremonies and there is less to eat for the next season. If the result is a myth and story: the quality of its power to evoke dream/myth is more important than its quantity of its power to evoke dream/myth. That is, what I am trying to say might be; the size of the miracle is not as important as the miracle, itself... Cheers

You know that is a nasty way to see if I am paying attention...:) and an even nastier way to get me to read your posts again... :) yeah, there it is... oops.

SPOILER ALERT for Strangers in Prax Strangers in Prax has an interesting adventure in which the party assists a sorcerer who desires a (very specific tower) that was a part of the sorcerous city spanning magics of Robcradle.

I have discovered thanks the current art and a few teasings here and there (some from here in BRP central) that Steam Punk Mostali are a thing and that thing is going to be in my Glorantha, It'll be my way of doing a different style of dwarf, and get that horrid article Greg wrote on Why I hate the Mostali out of my head.

I am s glad the use of wyter as a player controlled tac nuke has been put back in Egregious Munkinerry where it belongs. That months long argument of "it's my tac nuke and if the community doesn't like it I'm gong to take my bat, ball and tac nuke and go home", is finally being lain to rest! (and there was great rejoicing in the lands... yay!). Cheers

I understand in France and here at home in Quebec they make that a part of the government bureaucracy and institutionalize it. ;•)
