Yeah, I've done the same thing. And now that we've played mostly on Discord, I've made cropped pics of the maps, so that the players can see the dungeons etc. room by room when they move forwards. YES. In the Adventure Book I've had to measure beds and dragons to get the sizes of the scenario maps. And the Colymar map was scaleless too.

A good question! Mechanically it could be handled so that a character with a high Death Rune would roll an augment, and affect it negatively to the chances to get kids.

One of my all time favorite scenarios! I really recommend people to try it.

Weren't there some magic items that can do that? Maybe in the Plunder book?

Do characters with Death Rune 80% or higher have staunchly-held beliefs against having biological children of their own? P. 237 RuneQuest Roleplaying in Glorantha.

Establishing a new cult for a deity you have just freed is something that happens in a few RQ scenarios. When the deity tells the characters about their history etc., how much skill % should the characters get in Cult lore and Worship skills?

A wet towel works decently for it. You won't get fridge level temperatures, but it helps.

I'd use the same halving rule. And it will get more immaterial with time and disappear at some point. Maybe -1 AP per season or year?

In the Bestiary Ludochs wear giant-crab armors that have half of the APs that the giant-crabs have. So you could check how much different beetles have armor and halve those.

You can find some decent ones with search engines, 'poetry riddles' gives good hits, eg. https://solveordie.com/poems-riddles/

Eh, it's hard to write it on this forum. [tag] the text you want to spoiler [/tag] replace 'tag' with 'spoiler'

Iirc, they used this for Stark's troops in GoT.

Here's an article about leather armors: https://www.archeologiedordrecht.nl/wijkensites.dordrecht/up/ZwljtisJE_Leather_in_Warfare_Late-medieval_leather_armour_from_excavations_in_the_Netherlands_Marloes_Rijkelijkhuizen_and_Marquita_Volken.pdf I had an article about cuirboulli helmets too, but unfortunately I can't find it, I may have lost it a while ago in a hd crash. I've read some other articles too, and looks like that cuirboulli wasn't as sturdy as it is in RQ, and no one used just cuirboulli armor, but it was used on top of other armors. And it wasn't a poor man's substitute for a metal armor.

Hah, yeah, "studded leather" is another one of those armors where some now long dead white guy looked at an art piece, and then pulled an idea out of his ass about what the armor really was.

Yeah, the "ring mail" is unfortunately a really widespread myth, and I'm not surprised that even museums still spread it. The cuirboulli armor did exist, but it was never as common historically as it is in rpgs. Different sorts of cloth armors were historically what leather armors are in most rpgs, ie. a cheaper alternative for those who can't afford metal armors.

Yeah, I meant that the "ring mails" weren't used. Scale armors were definitely real.

No, that type of armor wasn't used, it's a widely spread myth.

Yeah, it was a big mistake.

18th century European historians started to use the word mail incorrectly to refer to any armor. And "ring mail" was invented by a Victorian antiquarian who thought that art pieces like eg. the Bayeaux tapestry where the warriors had large rings on them were accurate representations of real armors, and not just the artist's way of depicting mail (ie. "chain mail").

In my Glorantha many of the tattoos are gained magically from the initiation ceremonies, and for the enchantment tattoos I've used the RQ3 rules where you had to have Engraving 25% to make the required engravings for enchantments, except that for tattoos it's Tattooing 25%. Many of the PCs have become quite good tattoo artists during their careers.

haha

The word for torso armor, cuirass, literally comes from the word for cuirboulli. Just use the stats and cost for linothorax.
