Bill the barbarian

Now how did this thread escape from the "Your Dumbest Theory" forum?

So what's it all about? Chaosium has regretted giving up the HeroQuest name, so will link with Hasbro to use their HQ as the basis of Gloranthan gaming going forward!

Is that fur? So furred (?), taloned, tailed and intelligent (note the armour)... wow! The fur eliminates Slarges, the tale does not look like that of a Dragonnewt... hmm? Well Darius, this might be so... or it could be the result of chaos.

Thanks, I did my best!

This is why I use the Encumberance system.

No worries... But if not relevant to me, I really can not justify spending the cash. Porchango, will not be big in my Dragon Pass, ergo, Pamatela will be of little interest. I will imagine that to be true of The Eastern Isles, and Teshnos as well... We will see. When the books are finally out and not vapour ware I can make my decisions.

I would suggest Spirit in place of Man. When the spirit arrives from the land of the dead or the path to it, and takes it place in the body the entity will once again posses the Man Rune in place of the Spirit Rune.

I am overjoyed, as I have no intention of ever running games in the south, east or west.

It has been said elsewhere that Trollpak's excellent adventure Munchrooms gives tactics for multiple opponent combat, as does Grubfarm and the Caravans from the same pak... alas, it is not RQG nor human. I believe most tactics used will be able to be good in RQG and this should not be a detriment to it's continued use. One secret to Munchrooms, prep, prep, and prep. It is big. Oh and if you have RQ2 change the timeline

Yes, Austin @Crel did a fantastic job on this. It has been my pleasure to be his editor on others works, if not this one. He does great on detailing monsters and their tactics and raison d'etres... (see his MotM series for a few critters to add to yer Bestiary, General Ork). https://preview.drivethrurpg.com/en/browse?keyword=akhelas

And I thought I was the only one... cool! I always ask the players if we should play touch move, take backs or an even friendlier game... usually causing a bit of initial confusion until I explain. Hopefully thread may retake its rail from here.

waistline, I thought that was the horizon! Our early games up here, in the 80s, did not suffer because we got it all wrong... nomadic wheels in Prax, etc. We had a blast anyway. Still playing and Gming today! Nice perspectives.

From the starter set?

Agreed!

Sorry Guv, could not make owt tha words from tha accent. How's yer english, we could try that.

If I were to be honest, I hate absolutes in my RPGs. Smacks too much of DnD (Gygax style) or god learning. You do a great job of leaving matters in the hands of the gamers in many of your rulings so I do not mean you David and I have read the comment you mention. I have also read that they were the great old ones and have seen other epithets but me, as GM, this is far to wide a brush for me... I much prefer the ambiguity I was using and leaving such mysteries to the deep conversations found in the temples of the learned or the distant unknowable past.

Things that don't fit into neat packages have caused crisis greater than yours in understanding. Just be careful of seers who strive to illuminate your darkness and ask strange riddles.

I have never considered her to be god or goddess. Nope, since finding out about her in '83 I have always considered her not to be a deity, or more powerful than them but beyond them. ETA Not akin to them.

When races in space begin to resemble NBA game scores you know your subject has to be the number of satellites in orbit around the two giants of our Solar System!

You have Klingons in your Glorantha, doncha? If not, trolls should work!

Sleep 3 Points Ranged, Temporal If the caster overcomes the target’s POW, the target falls into a deep sleep for the duration of the spell. The target only awakens if injured or if a hostile spell is targeted on them.

It sold Warhammer and Battle Tech in my neighbourhood in the 80s! Kids would see the minis and the whole 3d thing and go gaga! Their parents and older siblings too!

And as much print as Humakti have gotten for being OP, I am shocked none have raised the banned for Shamans in this regards. Where are the naysayers calling this profession into question. Not that I would, I do not believe either are OP in comparison with many other possible PC one can create (just don't get me started on how all of RQG is OP). And so are the English... 😉 If you are doing a long form writeup of this spirit cult (and why wouldn't ya?) I would say make a myth which explains the reason for this spell and have it be comparable to small cults in what way or another (either in MPs cost or restrictions or... consequences). <snicker> see a couple of quotes above. 🤣 Great question @Agentorange!

There is a temple in Jerusalem that has shared management by many Christian sub-cults. Often, fist fights will break out, as radmonger suggests, between the clerics of different orders.

Yep, never used them, I was a battle mat fan. Their ads were everywhere though! Thanks for the memories, Rick!
