They wouldn't have had to go all the way to Gaul, they had a small version in Italy. Basically everything from modern Florence, to the North, was Gallia Cisalpina... Gaul this side of the Alps. They never left after they sacked Rome. There doesn't really seem much cultural adoption in any direction, at least not with main published sources, save by adventurers taking bits here and there to make it their own, regardless of their own origins. SDLeary

I've heard that it was a combination. Gladius from the Iberians, and Spatha from the Celtiberians. I think the Spatha came earlier though, as we have contact with Gauls in Northern Italy. Not sure about the Pugio or Pilum. SDLeary

Yeah, kinda. They were in a residential district, in a two story home. Upstairs was Greg's office, Tadashi's office, a small room for play testing (an old breakfast nook), and where Sandy and Steve did their stuff. Oh, and what was a converted closet with an IBM Selectric II Mag-card to do initial column layout. Downstairs was where Yurek and Charlie did layout, by hand from the columns produced by the Selectric, and IIRC, where Lynn did his work. This was early 80s, not sure about before. SDLeary

In fact, while Spiritual/Worldly is in Pendragon 5.2, it is omitted from Paladin. 5.2 states that a character that is highly Spiritual may be described as Pious. It recognizes going overboard and states that extreme Spirituality might be described as Zealous or Saintly, though gives no guidance to distinguish the two. SDLeary

There was an ancient discussion about this, and then it finally made it into BoE p.5: My copy of BoE is dated 2013, but I remember the initial discussions from probably closer to '06. SDLeary

Yup! There is a reason a good chunk of Rome had to be rebuilt so often. It wasn't just Nero. And of course, we can also talk about London. Old cities love untended, indiscriminate, or unintended flames. SDLeary

Or thatch. Fun for the medieval pyros! SDLeary

Woo! Talk about ambiguity! Anyone know if this was intentional? I don't remember seeing anything in the Jason Answers thread. SDLeary

Well, yes. The assumption was that the list Scotty posted was related to the titles that we will see upcoming on Chaosium's site, as opposed to simply titles with Chaosium product numbers. SDLeary

Question... Not seeing Saxons in that list. Issue because of revolving companies, or is it that might be the one product without a Chaosium number? SDLeary

Woo Hoo!! SDLeary EDIT: Question. Don't see 3e (though KA is there), 4e, or any of the cultural supplements. I know they are available on DriveThru. Is there something else afoot, or are they simply not ready for the site yet?

Of course! I foolishly babble all the time! 😉 SDLeary

Or probably, the others have a function which has not yet been revealed. And with regards to Communication, my guess is that Jeff and crew found no reason for it in the vision of Glorantha that they were trying to fit into RQ. If they discover one later, I don't doubt that it will be loaded back in. SDLeary

Things work now! Thanks @Trifletraxor SDLeary

Sorry... said subforum, meant thread. First two threads at least. SDLeary EDIT: Just having gone back, it seems to be all threads in that forum. Can see things via Unread Content, but once I click to try to get into the thread, that pesky error message.

Not quite, at least not from my vector. Can get into the main BasicRoleplaying forum, but subforums provide this: "Sorry, there is a problem You do not have permission to view this content. Error code: 2F173/H" Whats the word @Trifletraxor? Maintenance? SDLeary

Just the BRP forum for me here, but its stating that I don't have permission to view the content. SDLeary

But doesn't he have to keep them for the cold northern winters, or has global warming taken care of that already? SDLeary

IIRC, the agreement with Chaosium is for distribution only. Rules and publication still sit with Nocturnal, so there forums are probably the best location for clarity on this. Keep in mind though, with Greg now beyond the veil, you might not receive official word quickly. SDLeary

And, IIRC, more money that Trif has to pony up. SDLeary

Here is an observation (Not directed at Psullie, but EVERYONE). Crowdsourcing seems to have caused some of the confusion, at least in reporting issues to Chaosium. Can we, as a community, keep things sufficiently structured to create such a document, keeping the creation of the Log separate from discovery of what we consider new inconsistencies or errors? I ask this because so far, Chaosium has been very responsive, especially @Jason Durall. They were quiet for a period after the release, but THEY GENERALLY ARE. They have to be able to take a break and try to relax and decompress too. Now that they are back, we seem to have no issues loading up and firing back BOTH BARRELS, simultaneously. Just... Wrong. SDLeary

Well, a shared repository is normally a more organized one. For me at least it tends to be one that is easier to find things in a timely fashion, not having to sort through Google ad placements and returns of more unscrupulous sites that might put RuneQuest in their clouds JUST to get additional hits. SDLeary

The Mostali Repeating Crossbow doesn't have a lever to reload, and it magazine is on the bottom, to better aid with aiming. No one knows how the bolts reload! SDLeary

For a warhammer, I'm all with this, because they are really devised as can openers (at least medieval ones). Not so much for maces and mauls. For these against plate, the stun option seems best. As an additional option, I would suggest that flexible armor only count half against such crushing weapons, ALL THE TIME. Leathers, Linen, Ring, and perhaps Scale. SDLeary

<SIGH> Come on now! We discussed this! When you go for the rapier, you use the French accent, not the Western US one! That one is when you draw the sixgun! 😉 SDLeary
