Is the mention of Vampire Kingdom neighboring Lunar Empire (Tales 19) canonical or just fanfiction?

In bestiary it says that vampires are Runemasters of Vivamort Cult... But I like to have also different kind of vampires... Like in Tales 19... Lesser Vampires... Many different kind of vampires. Vampires that are creation from other sources, such as Delecti.

Vampires seem to change most in every edition of Runequest... How do you handle these creatures?

In 2ed scenarios you can meet vampires with POW and load of Spirit Magic... In 3 ed you face a very powerful Vampire that has loads of Rune magic... If you change those creatures to RQG version of Vampire, whole scenarios may start to suck. (I don´t say names of the scenarios to not spoil anyones games, but you may know what scenarios I mean.)

And in recent gameplay Trouble at Greydog´s Inn a vampire turned to wolf... Is it meant in RQG, that vampire in wolf form is a simple wolf or more powerful Vampirewolf, with more STR for example and Vampiric powers still?

This brings to my mind a new question? Do any other cult have minor holy days, other than Ernalda? It is only one in corebook that says of having them.

So basicly Worship should always be automatic success and players don´t even throw it... Unless it is important part of the scenario?

It isn't meant to be difficult.

I know. But I like the style of play that Jeff uses in Youtube campaign better. I like players sacrificing things and animals, not magic points.

1 MP gives +1% bonus is better.

Jeff don´t seem to use it in White Bull Campaign... I don´t use it. It is too easy.

Oh wow!! If only we would have had these when we played Stealing of the Hands.

There is Lightbringers Temple in Clearwine, so there is also a Chalana Arroy Shrine in there. Does the tender of that shrine need to be a god-talker? Corebook does not mention Chalana Arroy having God-talkers... Is the shrine tended by an initiate of that cult or by a priest? Can an Initiate tend a shine?

In my Glorantha I would make Estal Donge a worshipper of Hon-Eel or subcult of that goddess and she would have Charisma-spell... And spells not listed in Godlearner Books.

Player characters usually have gained many very powerful magical things, weapons, armour and so on... Maybe even an object of companions wyter... It is also very common, that when a PC has to surrender, then all of the PC:s have to do the same... That may mean A LOT of loot for the enemy... PC:s don´t like to lose their things, but I guess that just is the case. They lose everything else, but their lives in ransom.

How does Ransoms get collected/traded? Let´s say our adventuring party has captured dark troll hunter, trying to steal cows. Who pays the ransom and how do players go get it? Troll clan pays? So they need to go to Troll Woods from where the troll is from? Is the captured hunter troll with them.. and so on?

Are Ernalsulva and Entarios the Supporter Orlevings? Or is the Earth Temple apart from Malani Tribe or Clans surrounding it?

We have an initiate of Chalana Arroy in our Six Seasons group. I was wondering, is it possible for him to become also a shaman of White Hart? Is spirit combat violation of CA code?

Has anyone made a map of The Village of Haraborn clan?

It was great to see that kind of playing. I also liked the adventure. It would be great to watch more from that group, but I quess that won´t be happening.

So can Salissa be initiate/godtalker/priestess of Ernalda AND Earth Witch? I quess so.

Salissa Three-Husbands in Red Cow campaign is a shaman, but in secret... I have no idea how that works, but she is seen as Ernalda worshipper to many in the clan. Salissa is a member of the Serdrodosa the Earth Witch tradition.

Enkala of High Llama Tribe in Jeff´s White Bull Campaign is worshipper of Storm Bull and a shaman.

I have liked very much watching White Bull campaign videos. And I have gained many fun ideas from them to our game. Keep them coming.

I don't recall seeing many demons in any RQ supplement.

Except that a SB sorcerer with bound demons could mop the floor with most Gloranthan characters. Demon armor would make the sorcerer all but immune to Gloranthan weapons, and a demon would would cut though protection spells as a minor annoyance. I think it would take some serious rewriting to get most SB adventures to work

There will be serious rewriting I am sure of that. Things have to be modified to suit the level of adventurers and to Glorantha.

Vele and other things I wrote above are mainly East Islands located in Glorantha.

Some East Islanders draw their magic from dreams, and it is called Dream Magic. They know that Dreamworld, where you go every night holds great power... Demons can easily be outcome of nightmares for example. I have no plan to have any of the adventures to happen in Dragon Pass, maybe not even in hole of Genertela continent. Dream Magic have no official game mechanics, so I can make it as I wish and need.

Great Sorcerors of the East Isles awaken their Dream Self... Maybe it is some sort of Fetch. In Dreammagic powerful magicians can bring dreams into real world, making them real. If you are too drawn to Dreamworld, you become Dreamwraith. Dreammagic is powerful just locally, it has not great power overseas.

I haven´t figured out many of the details yet, but heart business may stay pretty much as it is written in original scenario. You having ran Rogue Mistress may have some excellent ideas, that fit Glorantha... I would like to hear.

Rogue Mistress changes:

1) Maria de Tres Pistolas is Vele Unnikanan and lasercannon on her ship is Haragalan Ships Sunscope.

2) Pollidemia is Gunada Dangi

3) Plane of Klaadii is Nowhere Land near Magastas Pool

4) Queen Media is a server of Dech Oru and is in Antanez Island (Syfera).

5) Krathak is a frog-like humanoid from Nan-Matal island.

6) Albyon is Haragala and Vele (Maria) is from Fereva.

7) Quasit is Angazabo... Nearby island of Syfera.

8 ) Laukland is Avaranboth. Enemies of Queen Media.

9) Haragalan (Albyon) cities are: Matajab (Londshire) and Jambi (Whitedover)

10) Gollia may be distant Island of Volohror and Ruins in there are Irenstos

11) Whispering Sea is some sort of God-Plane place

12) Temple of Pyarya may be near Tamenjary
