  1. Thanks! A few follow-up questions: Are all Sorcery spells with the 'ritual' tag "self-contained"? These would be Bind Elemental, Bind Spirit, Magic Point Enchantment, Open Seas, and Summon (species). How many magic points does it take to cast self-contained spells when you don't know any of the techniques or Runes involved? 8 times the minimum mps perhaps? (ie. double the amount where you have only secondary knowledge)? On page 275 in the Roleplaying in Glorantha it says that "In many cults, initiates may not become shamans or sorcerers." LM and CA have non-standard initiate requirements, but Issaries has the standard one. Would it be possible to edit the upcoming Gods of Glorantha book to clearly mention which cults allow their members to learn Sorcery? Is the old Shapechange (Species) to (Species) coming back in some later book? e: Are Ygg worshippers allowed to Open Seas? ee: Is the Open Seas ritual taught only to Dormal initiates, or can lay members learn it too?
  2. That's great to hear! Ken Rolston, an old Runequest writer, was the lead designer of Oblivion and Morrowind, so maybe it could be said that they're already Glorantha mods I have some vague recollection that Traveller had some proper studio made games in the early 90s.
  3. Formerly it wasn't that difficult for a Dormal initiate (or anyone else) to learn the spell, but now if I've understood the rules correctly, you need to know Sorcery techniques and Runes to cast it. Are the command technique and the Water rune taught to all Dormal initiates, or does every ship need a professional philosopher?
  4. Voria = Vor + ia = spring + girl? (Vår being spring in Swedish.) And Malia used to be a fertility goddess earlier.
  5. Fossils are alive, they just move very slowly. Source: the Snake Pipe Hollow
  6. So Gloranthan cities would be significantly less densely populated than Terran cities.
  7. Harrek killed Argrath, but he came instantly back and Harrek though it to be a good joke.
  8. Thanks, they look great!
  9. Yeah, though the the same thing, even though I love the art in the game.
  10. Really interesting thread! Btw, how did time exist before the Sunrise?
  11. M Helsdon, there are three soldiers I'd really like to see; a Thunder Delta slinger, a Silver Shield Hypastist, and a javeliner who has an amentum. Trolls too!
  12. actually only water cultists can use forks, other people get attacked by spirits of reprisal if they try to obviously yelmalians can only use knives with round straight handles and only darkness worshippers can play baseball, but they have to use rocks as balls e: wait, fire worshippers could use spear handles as bats... hmm this needs more pondering
  13. In Yelmalian clans the short greeting is of course 'Oy!'
  14. Newtlings could learn one-use dragonewt magic in RQ3, so maybe the magic from the head would also be one-use.
  15. Damn nice pics! I also liked the word 'kygerlith' for stone carvings of the Kyger Litor that was used in the guide.
  16. And in the more lunarized clans they ask if you have broken wind yet.
