Bill the barbarian

Not the reason I resurrected this needed thread, in any case.

This is entirely off topic folk... I have no idea how any of this has anything to do with Imagining Glorantha.

I kind of like watching my films without context (the movie's point of view suffices for me, thought at the end I often do my research (such a geek). I just figure, the directors knows what they are doing and I let him or her (not enough of her... yet), but maybe that is me. In any case now having seen the film (rest assured, no spoilers are coming), it is great. The character arc is good, the animation is great. A mutant Roger Ebert might give it three thumbs up. Qizilbashwoman, I must say I did not read all of your post. As soon as my spoiler-sense™ began tingling I quit reading and always will. Hate spoilers with a passion, so I will set phasers on ignore the moment I suspect such, Seeing as it is hard to read a post on another page and not lose the train of thought with this software, I will have to take your word that there are no spoilers and only context. Pardon my paranoia but again, I get a whiff of spoilers and out comes my patent pending ignore-a-phaser ™ Conclusion, context is not required, the movie stands on its own quite nicely.(And I still think it does a good job of bringing an aspect of The Oasis People of Prax to life, for me). Cheers

Oh you are a sick sick sick individual!

Alas, being one of the ignorant ⅔ it is news to me and thus spoiler to me. I prefer to let the realization come at the directors pace. Oh well, my fault for trying to turn people on to this. Had I kept it my secret the movie would not have been spoiled for me. No good deed goes unpunished, I guess. sigh

Spoilers my dear qizilbash, spoilers. I have not seen it all... and alas I can not unsee your post. Thank you very kindly for the quote and the like and the post. I can not read any more until I see the movie so if I had something to answer....

Liquorice Allsorts, yummy! Oh, oops my bad... In all seriousness, though... I have been known to attempt humour (have yet to be arrested for attempted humour, but the day is young). I have also been caught engaged in at least one of the following: editing, proofreading, writing copy and much more. I have yet to be caught engaged in writing adventures—sandbox or otherwise (but my days are numbered, surely one day the jig will be up). Rumours, colleagues and clients say that I do not joke while working. Are you brave enough to find out!

Threatened to start practicing a bit of necromancy did I not? Well here is a Topic in need of a calling back from the beyond. And to start it back on the road to the land of the living, I figured I would mention "Bilal: A New Breed of Hero". It is set in Arabia a thousand years ago and tells the story of a pair of slaves; brother and sister. Could give inspiration for oasis people, and has given me a bit of insight for my own table. Thanks @Crel for the awesome Topic. Too bad it died way before its time, but as we all know... That is not dead which can eternal lie! Cheers!

And a few of you already know of my skills but if anyone else is interested... editing, proof-reading and ... much more.

Oh c’mon now, we don’t get much in the way of chances ta mock ya, you are just too good. You can’t expect us to pass up this golden opportunity! NA NA NA NA BOO BOO! hehehehe....

Any particular reason this info streams at 4:44 minutes. I mean if you were Cantonese or into Feng Shui, I would be very suspicious of this less then auspicious number for the time... oh hell I am still suspicious.

Oooh, does this mean I can expect a bit of work in the near future, looking forward to it. Hell to quote from one of me fave movies, "I am quivering with anticipation!"

That would be the 54th year of the 7th lunar wane,. The Lunars figure time by double the number of years of the life of the red goddess on Glorantha which was 27... as they see it as a cycle of strength and growing for 27 years and 27 years of gathering strength. There have been 7 such periods called wanes. Oh and welcome to BRP. I guest this will be the first wane of postings from Ray J!

Yay! Welcome aboard!

Truly a pity I can not give a like and a sad here...

A quick side note, if you really want to get my goat, mention that women have no place in computing! HELLO! Google "women in computing" and start learning! close correct! and again correct!

And I know I will... want to come back to it. Thanks MOB!

A quick trip here https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/297538/Early-Family-History?src=hottest_filtered&filters=45683 will suffice for an inexpensive 1 dollar . Or a bit of a search in the BRP Central will yield similar results from the thread that led to this printing for free. Cheers and welcome to BRP Central.

PS Love, love, love this!

Some thoughts on WF 1’s editorial. Love the beginning of the Monomyth... Started from a challenge. Challenge accepted and turned on its head. Turned into a game. Love it! Love how Greg was such a California hippy, no quote needed. The entire editorial confirms it. Love how he played Tactics II and wanted to write a war game, Me to, I tried my damndest to write a game based on Helm's Deep and failed miserably! I have been using the term ”your table" for years, Nice to see it started right at the beginning. If this does not prove that Greg was an odd duck nothing will. Thanks for the memories, Rick! Saving the best for last. Yep, the proofreading was as bad then as now! All quotes from WF 1’s editorial.

Ah RIchard, ya ain’t just whistling Dixie.

Or unmaking... or chaos for that matter. But you seem to wish to argue and I do not so I will leave you to find other victims.

You seemed to be not paying attention... Again the unmaking...

Thank you, what a lovely opinion!
