  1. Navigating a small boat thorough the marsh without a duck guide would just be silly. There ya go again, blaming the ducks...
  2. Depends, anyone have a location on MOB and our usual antipodean suspects?
  3. Thanks Eff, and now it is time to get our Finnish friend @jrutila to ask his question!
  4. I think we are a small minority, Phil. But yeah, I had a great time playing rolling and running sorcerers in RQ3. Am awaiting more rules for sorcery before using them heavily and I have not decided which rules to use. I hope the new ones come out before I have to decide.
  5. I’ll drink anything if you’re buying.... so, okay, not the Troll stuff... Sounds good
  6. Oh, you are such an egregious munchkin! If you had not brought that use to life no-one would have got that one.
  7. Then you will certainly like the new editorial direction RQ G is taking. I have heard it said very often by the Chaosium clan ring that the game is yours, come up with a rule if we have not.
  8. Reasonably sure if grittiness is your goal and you have a familiarity with GURPS this will be the way to go! It does sound good. Love me some RQ 3 and feel comfortable with it so this will be the direction I will eventually go for my home rules. I am going to try something a little unfashionable for a while, though. I will stick with as much of the RQ G core rules as I can, (handwavium and MGF will be in force if it takes too long to look up or parse a rule or this ins’t one and there should be). Hell my groups may give up immediately but I would like to try. Where there in not a rule, the handwavium will probably default to RQ3 or common sense. Yeah, that’s where I am at with the handwavium... Yes, it came close, maybe, @lordabdulhas the answer with his franken-marriage
  9. Slam in poison from my first post. Add in wielding a precious ceremonial weapon (why is someone wielding an expansive ceremonial weapon, you might well ask...), for two more reasons to dodge.
  10. ...and did you have a bit of Gloranthan history that you wished to hear about from Rick’s delving into the lores of Glorantha in his decades long dive into the rabbithole. If so, post it here, jrutila or send the tribe your dulcet tones in a audio file for possible inclusion in out interview with Chaosium’s President. Cheers
  11. Each new defensive tactic suffers another 20% reduction. Ruric parries a trollkin spear, figuring he will have plenty of HPs to block the incoming damage should the critter hit. He dodges a manticore’s sting figuring even a little damage getting by his armour or weapon hit points will inject the obvious venom dripping from its sting. The Trollkin specials and Ruric parries to soak up all the trollkins extra damage with his shield’s 12 HP but having a spear through it forces Ruric to throw it away His dodging the sting will be 20% less then usual due to it being his 2nd defensive manoeuvre this Melee Round. Should he survive he will have to decide to dodge or parry his third opponent but the penalty for whichever skill he uses (sword parry or dodge) will be now at 40% less than normal.
  12. A Question If you had Rick Meints in your own private studio and could ask him anything from any part of his lengthy career in Glorantha what would it be? Send it to us and we will select questions to be read by our hosts or better yet you can send us your questions in your own voice in an audio file to the tribe@windwords.fm!
  13. If you squint, and use yer imagination really hard, RAW might qualify as hard Sci Fi! <fnord> Crazy fun? Sounds good enough for me!
  14. A lot of my smarter and cooler friends were playing Traveller. Never got around to it myself, alas.
  15. Not to mention the judges, etc..Incredible!
  16. Thank you iwas hoping someone would and it could not be me to appear genuine. Thank you good sir! As I said, I was getting incredibly nervous, Maybe no-one listened. Maybe it was all done in a very distant vacuum. Again I was in an awkward position of truly wanting to say how incredible the contestants and their entries were. but not wanting to sound like a lone voice crying out in the cold praxian chaparral and the Copper Sands!
  17. Those titles will not yield a ton of MoO material I am sure! What they might do is make the mind race from possibility to possibility and open up the one's potential for imagination, which is the key to infinite adventures.
  18. Would an incredibly intelligent and manipulative coward that looked like this do in place of a mind flayer... Let me introduce you to a Pierson's Puppeteer from Niven’s Known Space. Oh well. come on PP he don’t want ya neither... it's back to grid hex 124,593,346,172 on Ring World for you.
