TBP?

Agreed, I am using Skype with Google Docs for visuals. Very low tech. It works. Have used Roll20 and if you intend to replay a game it is worth the work to fill the journals with goodness.

In my opinion, RQ3 handled SRs the best. It was not perfect nor did it mesh well with RQ2 but it held together long enough to hide the cracks and offer good strategies. (@Klosteris a huge fan of RQ 3) So, the Chaosium crew went with RQG to keep compatibility with RQ2. Lords and ladies, we, all know it aint perfect. It took some of the old ones from the 90s and the Noughties several screens worth of posts to sort, pre-pandemic... (2019?) and I think @Paid a bod yn dwpcollated a chart for it. But until a rewrite, what do we do... a heavy errata. It almost works now. Some folks have given us some great clues above. Hey Paid, still got that chart for SRs and combat?

<WInk!>

i'll pass.

Cheers MOB!

It's possible, the spider knows!

Thank you!

Shoulda known you would get to it, thanks Phil! I guess I do not have the update. Thanks, then I have the update, or do I? Now, I am confused... Hey, @Dustin O'Chaosium... Have any insight to this riddle, Do I have the update, or no? Still, great book, absolutely great. Of all the BR/p family books from all the decades I own this and the original free 8 (?) pager from the boxed RQ set are becoming my faves!

How do you know which one is which? Open question despite quoting Phil

Maybe they are like mobile GlowSpots... they take the grove with them (around them I guess).

Cheers!

Holy crap! Too bad I already own this!

Welcome! A gamer going back to the 80s ya say... ya won't find many on those around here... what are they called... gognerds or somethin'? We all pretty young around here and just getting into tha hobby... Alright, I will stop there before there is even a chance for you to start believing my drivel. Been war gaming since 60s and RPGing since the 80s! Yes you will probably be able to find a few of that ilk around here (I think I have every game from RQ2 and 3 in hardcopy, though some are barely hanging together and some just gave up)! Quit playing DnD back in the early 80s so only a few books (PHB and... hm, there must be something else...) Nothing at this second but I will have something online and compatible with afternoons/evenings in your neck of the timezones before spring. Shall I let you know about it.

Cheers!

Thanks, senility had nothing to do with it... It was in obscure material. cheers

I should have been clearer, where do I find this.

Colour me old and senile.... and then remind me: Who is the Lady of the Wild, if you would.

Ya know, I can not think of an analog to mother nature in Glorantha. That seems to be a European thing. Someone implied (ah here it is, Ormi Phengaria implied) the spider as mother nature but I have a hard time wrapping me head around that. So I got to go with Qizilbashwoman on this.

Not sure about your attributing the zero to the arabs, same part of the world... Mesopotamia though they did not use zero as we do... I believe it was an Indian who brought the zero up to date... lets see... yep found this: https://www.history.com/news/who-invented-the-zero It might seem like an obvious piece of any numerical system, but the zero is a surprisingly recent development in human history. In fact, this ubiquitous symbol for “nothing” didn’t even find its way to Europe until as late as the 12th century. Zero’s origins most likely date back to the “fertile crescent” of ancient Mesopotamia. Sumerian scribes used spaces to denote absences in number columns as early as 4,000 years ago, but the first recorded use of a zero-like symbol dates to sometime around the third century B.C. in ancient Babylon. The Babylonians employed a number system based around values of 60, and they developed a specific sign—two small wedges—to differentiate between magnitudes in the same way that modern decimal-based systems use zeros to distinguish between tenths, hundreds and thousandths. A similar type of symbol cropped up independently in the Americas sometime around 350 A.D., when the Mayans began using a zero marker in their calendars. These early counting systems only saw the zero as a placeholder—not a number with its own unique value or properties. A full grasp of zero’s importance would not arrive until the seventh century A.D. in India. There, the mathematician Brahmagupta and others used small dots under numbers to show a zero placeholder, but they also viewed the zero as having a null value, called “sunya.” Brahmagupta was also the first to show that subtracting a number from itself results in zero. From India, the zero made its way to China and back to the Middle East, where it was taken up by the mathematician Mohammed ibn-Musa al-Khowarizmi around 773. It was al-Khowarizmi who first synthesized Indian arithmetic and showed how the zero could function in algebraic equations, and by the ninth century the zero had entered the Arabic numeral system in a form resembling the oval shape we use today. The zero continued to migrate for another few centuries before finally reaching Europe sometime around the 1100s. Thinkers like the Italian mathematician Fibonacci helped introduce zero to the mainstream, and it later figured prominently in the work of Rene Descartes along with Sir Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibniz’s invention of calculus. Since then, the concept of “nothing” has continued to play a role in the development of everything from physics and economics to engineering and computing.

This sounds quite likely for the Orlanthi as well... Seven day weeks (before moonrise), 7 lightbringers... My games Issaries contracts divide shares into 7ths...

Sorry Scotty and Agent Orange, but here comes a bit of a thread drift... but see, the shark is swimming... through the air... but swimming... honestly! Not sure of the movement rate but... I would be foolish to turn down a free copy of a Simon Phipp's joint, but I have to say I had nothing to do with the idea... You could send a free copy to the asylum. Ah, screw it.. send me the copy!

Any Sharknados?

That is how I thought, and would have played until @Shiningbrowand @hipsterinspacein space piped up with their comments. I will go with their well reasoned posts.
