I prefer the large metal shields. When you are not in combat you can use it with your cooking skill to bake a Pizza with.

One thing my Dwarves have and guard almost as jealous as the secret to gunpowder is how to distill alcohol. Everyone else has to do with wine and Beer while only Dwarves have whiskey. Its a major trade item For the record on Earth its was not till around 1000 Ad people learned how to distill Brandy and whiskey.

Or perhaps the Fair Maiden is in fact a Sea hag of great power and the Dragon was set to keep her captive so she does not spread her evil. Might point out Deluxe renaissance PDF cost only a few dollars if some one wants to check it out.

Good list for starting Cults but I would add two more. First is Foundchild. The God of the Hunt. He a very good choice for starting players and has no real enemies besides chaos. For a more advance game My favorite God is Argan Argar Troll God of Trade who tends to try to get along with everyone he can make a profit out of.

Also how about a Renaissance world where magic is accepted. Burning Old Women, the mentally ill and your political enemies at the stake for witchcraft and Sorcery was one thing when Magic really did not work. But if magic does work, then Witches and Sorcerers are very useful to the powers that be so we might have a little creative interpretation on who and what is a Witch or a sorcerer, such as that Woman who works for the King is a Wizard not a witch, and no where does it say suffer not a Wizard to live . If you are useful to those in power , or can make a profit for them, you seldom get burned at the stake.

My Orlanthi Friends have a great way to illuminate Lunars. Tie them to a stake on top of a hill, then pile on lots of logs and cast an ignite spell. They will be illuminated till morning of done right.

One thing I remember is there are several Religious ceremonies where a Mortal will become a Champion of a Local Nymph and she will take him as a Husband.. There one in Sun Country where a Champion of Yelmalio marries a Daughter of Zola Fel and a few others that I remember. I was wondering if Pavis could be from such a Union, his Dad being a Champion of Adari who upon doing a great deed for the Elves of the Stinking forest marries a Dryad to cement an alliance . And since Gods are almost always involved in these marriages of Champions to a Nymph they would likely be more fertile then a casual roll in the hay

And another Game I would be interested in is one based around the Honorable East Indian Company. Men of lesser birth and even lesser reputation could go to work for the company as traders or mercenaries and die filthy rich. All sort of politics skullduggery and out right conquest would be involved. The company not even had its own army but even its own Navy and even the Navy at times was expected to make a profit( Hmmm, How do you make a profit for the owners when you are in charge of a Frigate?) And if I am going to bring up the East India company how many of you are familiar with James Brooks the White Rajah of Sarawak? He could be a model of what your players are trying to do.

Another period ignored by us in the US and Western Europe is the Russian/Cossack expansion east. The Russian did not stop till they reached Alaska and even traded with Japan AFTER Japan closed it doors to most European.

Well Pizzaro was once down to thirteen men on his way to conquer Peru, while Cabeza De Vaca explored much of the Southwest of the USA with just 3 companions. And think of the fun you could have changing things. Lost Viking or Roman colony, El Dorado is real, , the last Sabertooth Tiger or Bigfoot encounter the party etc. You never know whats over the next hill.

One period I always wanted to see is a game set in the Conquistador period. The Conquistadors where Real adventurers ,traveling in small bands, most who died and a handful who struck in very rich.

Still want to see the Demon Duck of Doom in the game.

One thing I noticed in this discussion is that Ducks have no riding animals or even any domesticated ones. Although not canonical, Im going to suggest we give them another member of the duck family to ride . Here is the Bullockornis the perfect riding animal for ducks. http://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/species/b/bullockornis.html Its nickname alone should allow it in most games.

The Quinkana . Since we do not have a lot of entries from Australia The Quinkana is an extinct type of Crocodile that lived in Australia. Unlike other Crocodiles it lived on land and had rather long legs to run you down and eat you. It was the apex predator in Australia before man arrived http://www.prehistoric-wildlife.com/species/q/quinkana.html Str 3d6+12 con 3d6+8 size 3d6+12 int 3 power 3d6 dex 3d6 Move 12(8 in water) hits 22-23 armor 5 points damage damage bonus 2d6 Bite 1d10+2d6 db Skills bite 50% track 50% stealth 50%

Think I read that the Empire of Wyrm Friends used Dinosaurs in combat and there was an Old adventure where some Dragon newts where delivering a triceratops to a wild tribe . Might mention the Dragon Pass dinosaurs pieces where all vegetarians except the Pteranodon, so they would not be trying to eat people around them.

If I remember correctly Brootopia some where in Valind Glacier.. At least according to Tales of the Reaching Moon.

Well extinct does not mean the same thing in Glorantha as it does on Earth.. Unicorns where extinct in Prax until a heroquest to the Green age brought some back. perhaps Augners are extinct , but there a minor Heroquest that allows people to get one.

At present Warmachine/Hordes is the big game around here( I just started.) And we where talking about running an RPG in the Iron Kingdom.. Most people I talked to think the Iron Kingdom RPG is waste of a good tree and I really don't care much for D20. Was just wondering if the clockwork rules could be used (with a few changes) for the Warjacks in War machine.

Book of Drastic Resolution darkness is one of those things I wish I could get my hands on, was able to get Prax and Chaos.

Think I made it up to Bat Chow level at that point?

You can ask any question you want about the Blue Moon Trolls , but I wont answer any as I don't know anything. And when you disappear one night you will only have yourself to blame.

I would have the souls suffering and unable to break free since its supposed to be punishment. And freeing one would be a capital offence .

Going to have to disagree with you a little here. I use heroic abilities in my Glorantha but not as intended. I use them instead as rewards for performing a Heroquest. Save me the trouble of Ok you performed this Heroquest what reward do I give the players. But outside of doing a Heroquest, You cannot get Heroic abilities.
