Recently started a campaign set in Dragon Pass for Blorantha newbies. We started with a small, isolated Orlanthi clan situated near Clearwine, that hates Lunars but is iffy on the tribes nearby.

I started the game in HQG but found the rule set not crunchy enough and hard to GM; had an internal debate about switching to RQG (which I got recently), but have opted for Mythras instead, which We will play the first time next weekend. My only issue is, how to start: we are picking up where we left off in the campaign, but I mean, do I start with a quick combat scene, or some other scene (just to give them a chance to roll some dice and see how some things work).

Mid combat always works for me. In the middle of a raid either against another clan or defending their home from a raid. Could be Trolls, pesky elves or even your friendly Lunar tax man.

Current one has been running for 5 years, uses a homebrewed RQ2, is set in Prax with the characters being from a Bison Clan and affiliated Rhino Clan. They kill folk and take their stuff, argue amongst themselves and steal anything not hobbled. Typical Praxian teenagers.

The pcs in my game have a Mostali construct that distils whatever you put inside it and produces high powered alcohol. It follows them around and makes sure their cups are full. They will probably all go blind...

Plus they've appeased the local Praxian Agave spirit who teaches how to turn his plant into booze.

Who cares that distilling wasn't an earth thing in Bronze age times. I play in Glorantha and get my beer served by a talking Duck. 

My grandfather was the town clerk of Nairobi and a QC in the1930's onwards. He had a lot to do with the city's growth in that time, so much so that when he turned down some (building) bribes, the offended party cut his car's brake cables on Christmas eve and on the family's holiday drive to Mombasa my grandmother died in the resulting crash and my mum still can't use her right arm properly. He eventually left due to members of the Mau Mau leaving prison and setting out to get their revenge for their sentencing. Obviously different times and the whole Colonial administration is not something I condone myself. Just thought I'd share.

I can remember mentioning a certain district in the city that I found quite ugly and my mother said "Your grandfather was responsible for that." Doh.

I've always enjoyed playing CoC games set there, though my knowledge of it is based on family recollections and my own travels. It was seemingly a crazy time and my mum would often talk about the larger than life characters that were about then.  

What he said ^

Clubs are for when you are on dodgy business in New Pavis.

As most of you know I use Lego figures.

I go with if it involves RQ rules i stick it in this forum. Questions about events, places, myths etc i stick it in the other. At the end of the day it doesnt really matter as folks drop in to both usually.

There was an oakfed pc Baboon shaman in one of my Baboon games.

'Ot Po'tato. His troop sort to control and contain Oakfed and put on great Bbqs. His troop's base was around the still burning hole/crater where Oakfed landed. Good source of fire spirits.

He was constantly setting fire to things and surrounded by a cloud of smoke.

Went and looked up one of his lines.

"We need big, big, fire to cook you all: 'Ot Po'tato hungry and his god likes burning hoomans. You lie down and die now okey dokey?" 'Ot Po'tato to sable riders

Rqg

Just heard Robin Laws is writing them.

I'm thinking of running a game where the pcs are Lunars sent to kill Argrath....All of them. With the end game being that hopefully the Lunars win and Sartar becomes the premium Empire holiday destination.

It would be perfect if everyone played Ducks.

Not sure your cult will be too happy if all your rune pts are tied up and they need to send you on a quest that will require a variety of magic to suceed.

Keep it how it is and like Joerg says keep the Glorantha discussions in the right forum.

Any children of Flintnail would have aldryami blood as he married a daughter of Pavis yes?

Isnt it a bit of knowing one's enemy and being able to counter their sorcery?

I need to play in a baboon campaign! 

I ran one a few years back. Might run a short PBP one soon.

My pcs will still use clubs. I love clubs. And fists.

I have an pc who uses two frying pans. 

It's actually the first time in nearly forty years that I've rolled up a character and felt that I can actually go for a stroll in the Big Rubble without getting my arse kicked in the first 2 minutes.

Passion: Lust Esmerelda 90%

What has been your first character you have built with the new rules?

Mine is a Black Fang Duck Bandit in the Big Rubble with a Passion of hate Argrath at 90%. I will be doing my best to kill that annoying Human €#&# before he ruins my Glorantha  

That's just confusing, especially the spirit rune.

I saw that the spirit rune isnt for pcs anymore. I thought the majority of Praxians had it? And what about shamans?

Has Waha's runes changed again? 

I was hoping we were doing speech bubbles for a laugh when i read the titles.

But yes i would like to know what is going on in the pictures too.
