My players have just finished "The Dragon of Thunder Hills" scenario, and Sacred Time is coming up. They are of the Colymar tribe, and I want them to participate in a HeroQuest. Although they are friends with Queen Leika, I don't know if Leika is friends with Kallyr at this time; did Leika participate in the Short Lightbringer's Quest? Regardless, I am looking for a good Sacred Time quest for my PCs, and would appreciate some suggestions. Guy Hoyle

Well, I had an opportunity to play in an RQG session on Foubdry on Saturday, and I must say I really enjoyed it! So much do that I’ want to try it in my game. I’ve signed up for it and am using The Forge for my cloud server, installed the RQG system (unofficial), and got to the Create World stage before I decided to pack it in for the night. do any of you use Foundry or Roll20 or any of the other VTTs? I’m mainly looking for maps and tokens, like the ones Dario has for sale on JC now (Pay What You Want sale now, BTW!). While he has a wide variety of resources, I suppose I can always use more. Does anybody have suggestions, especially for PCs? I have a Yelmalion, an Elmali, a bard (not a thief!), a charioteer, and a shaman, to start with. Any pointers on organizing and running a VTT campaign would be welcome, as well.

I have a question about the Cold Rune. Both Valind and Himile have it instead of the Darkness Rune. A player wants to play a VadrudicShamsn, and thus have connections with spirits of winter and cold. Would he just use his Darkness rating for Cold, since Cold is a sub-rune of Darkness? Thanks in advance

Thanks! I missed that. And it's not about worshipping the disembodied head, as I assumed.

Spoiler, if you might possibly play in this scenario from the GameMaster Adventures pack! One of the rewards involves founding the cult of Yerezum Storn, the dream dragon. While details of founding the cult of Orgovale Summer are included, there are no guidelines for founding the draconic cult. Have I missed them? Or are they indeed missing? I imagine it would involve keeping the head, but I'm not sure what kind of magic would be involved -- unless it's the benefits of keeping the head and betraying the dragonewts. Any ideas? Thanks in advance, Guy

I must have confused him with someone else.

Noted. But I was asking to help me bring a little life to my NPCs. What do you use to breathe some life into the stats of your NPCs, since you don't base them on real or fictional characters?

I know Jimmy Stewart was a fighter pilot in WWII.

It's popular to think of famous people when you play NPCs (or PCs for that matter). But I often have a hard time coming up with celebrities. So I thought I'd solicit a little crowdsourcing. I'm running through the GM's pack, and I thought I'd cast Clint Eastwood (rest in peace) as Argrath, Christopher Lloyd as Dunorl Brandgorsson, as a examples. A few more I'm looking for: Leika Blackspear Asborn Thriceborn Kallyr Starbrow Tarndisi the Dryad What celebrities do you generally use for NPCs?

Thank you!

Thanks! Checking it out now.

I'm giving Dungeondraft a try, though!

I’m back in the stone knives and bearskins era, Nick; I’ll just be sharing a picture of the terrain on my Zoom screen and asking the players to imagine the fight. I don’t know how to use one of them fancy VTTs.

I hope this isn't off topic, but I'm running the Cattle Raid from the GMA and I am looking for some suitable terrain for the fight. I don't have any fancy apps, just screensharing on Zoom, and I hope somebody has suggestions for providing interesting terrain. I've been looking on DriveThruRPG for some, especially in JC, but there's so much that I'm getting lost. Avail me of your expertise, pretty please! Guy

Thanks, Jex, that's what I'm running. Honestly, I'm not as big a newbie as I make myself out to be, I just haven't run any kind of RQ since the 90s.
