Having the tools and skills are one thing... but let us not forget bad health which you know I also have... creating a great poster takes time, and time requires health. But, and this is an important but, Monsieur le Geek, but permission to use their copyrighted material, I do not have. I wonder if they would be willing to run contests for the other products fan advertising as they have with CoC to have fans produce art for use by the Cults of Chaos denizens of all stripes.

A very odd take to a very romantic song!

If this is for RQ, I had asked the same question a couple of years ago and waited for months for the answer... NO.

One of the longest serving members, most prolific of the writers and simply a great talent in the band Fleetwood Mac has passed on. So allow me to post a fond goodby to one of my favourite writers and singers: Christine McVie! Here is my favourite song that she penned, sung by her and Lindsay Buckingham and backed by the band! Thanks for all the great dreams your songs evoked!

What I was thinking is that the realms of gods, daemons and the dead (of many different, if not all, species) would seem to be different to those who perceive it, and them—kind of like a good song, poem, or tale—or even Glorantha itself! Besides, how could a human imagination take all this in... I would assume in such a place a mortal mind would need myth to use as a shield, protecting the individual consciousness from the confusion surrounding, swirling around and threatening to consume it. Follow the yellow brick road... and do not leave it—at your own peril!

Or perhaps it mutates/changes/twists in a way predicated by the senses of the perceiver?

Oh hell, broken record time... but in a topsy turvy way. I always say that from the mundane everyday point of view that HeroQuesting is as common as going to church on sunday... If it is magical it has an element of the HeroQuest. Here I will say that one does not get to Styx with out being on a quest in the first place. in a magic world, define mundane. I have heard it said there is an entrance to hell in Sartar, so just start walking! And I doubt they are wrong! Sorry, beyond my ken. But someone here will know.

Yep, I knewed it!

I'll bet this is an obvious pun and I will be deeply embarrassed when it is explained however... Please do explain if you would. Proving the pen is truly stronger than the sword! Obviouslix will be my contribution to this silliness!

Ils sont fous ces lunaires Those Lunars are crazy!

Can't find you a citation at the moment... way sick, but the rune you are referring to still exists and I believe it is still held by Issaries it is just not germane to the players, ergo is not part of the RQ G core rules. All the players need are the Elemental runes the Power and two of the Form runes to be able to play RQ G.

That is the reason I ask all to use spoilers, they are dead easy, simple enough to use... Why ruin other's fun and not do so? The 5th icon, or the first of the 2nd series of icons... the eyeball! Click that with text selected and voila! I do not worry about the player who has to cheat, you can not defeat such a one in the internet age. I worry about the player, no fault of their own, who stumbles upon the info that should have been spoilered—inadvertently. Thanks for the support and comment Andrew.

Well, as a long supporter of TDM, this saddens me. It is a first stumble by a great group, and I hope this very classy group can come up with a good response and institute an equally classy solution. Good luck mssrs. Whitaker and Nash!

Can't you just put in spoilers, It would be much easier than me doing a rewrite... I have no idea why you refuse to do something so simple... As is you could destroy my campaign. In what way does that benefit you?

I am running them

A quick note to all. Some of those modules mentioned will end up costing their purchasers a small fortune if bought in an auction or on-line. Please protect such investments with spoilers... I know there is one here who will mock me and I will happily start posting their scenarios secrets and ruin the value of their products if they wish, but just imagine if you had spent a small fortune for a RQ3 module and have your players through no fault of their own stumble upon a posted secret that is the central part of a multi-game scenario. Cheers and thanks all for your forbearance!

then let them get their own corrupt cults, these ones are ours 😉 Can't say I see the point of that response RD, the OP asks about the lunar empire not Sartar, Esrolia, Prax and Tarsh (well Lunar Tarsh, maybe).

I would imagine the Empire's corrupt folk and those seeking to control corrupt folk (anyone in power who would do anything to maintain said power) would use the cult Thanatar and its adherents to their own selfish advantages. Even more so with the secretive and power seeking Krarsht cultists, but here one is playing with fire... The crimson bat does not seek to take over the empire, just eat it! Now as Peter says, the bat can be controlled. I assume the two cult who originate this topic would be more dangerous to try to control but if controlled (the local elements of the cults, not the whole) could be of great benefit to those holding the reins. Of course the fools who do not try control those cults but simply attempt to utilize powers they might gain from worship could end up finding themselves being controlled instead. (an oldie but goldie as far as tropes go, and one tool that should be in any devious GM's toolkit). And there is that as well...

This is to honour those who lost their lives in years past and those who lost their lives in Colorado today. And I would like to salute the heroes who stopped the gunman and saved many more lives!

Well, that's because it was.... 😉

I was going to mention the Teelo Nori (is it?) poor house in Pavis. Of course some of the callous might call it a front for the empire.

Agreed. I read Jeff's post and to my mind it says pretty much what I said a little earlier. Semantics... But in a land of magic, and deities in streams and souls in rocks, I will always see room for a quest of heroic proportions (dare I say an HeroQuest) in a child's game. Sorry Darius, we usually agree, but here... we diverge.

Odayla to Storm Bull: "Here. Hold my bear."

He is oft here, and folk say he is very helpful.
