Yes, but as an example, the RQ:G pregenerated character Vasana rides "a trained cavalry bison". Surely that means war trained? Another example would be Tusk Riders, where the description in the Glorantha Bestiary says that "Their steeds fight along with them."

Do you allow a (Lance) charge AND a butt attack?

Around 1990 I ran a campaign in Dragon Pass using RQ3. What I remember: the Apple Lane scenarios, escorting a merchant to the Troll lands in the north (Troll Pak?), heading east towards Pavis, making a stop at the Block. Getting everybody killed attacking a far superior enemy. I had the Avalon Hill RQ3 books, no more, no less. Tried to understand the stuff that wasn't really explained (like heroquesting) and had a lot of fun. It was as canon as I could.

sorry nvm was the same site with a different url

That's why I wrote "rule/principle". I should have added "suggestion" - at least I did in spirit. Also, I think you misread what I wrote. The error in the Adventure Book is in the description of the second scenario, where it is stated that it takes place "less than a season after" the first, while if you follow the suggested timeline, it takes place more than a season after the first. It's not a big deal, it's just an error. Yes, the "one adventure per season" suggestion does need somewhere the PCs can spend their downtime, some sort of local connection. Or they could just hang out at an inn in Pavis or something, I guess. I also agree on the "experience rolls after each adventure" (as we always used to do it in RQ3) rather than strictly "once per season". So, the point is: RQ:G emphazises the need for downtime more than, say, RQ3 did? That's good, I think. And I look forward to seeing how my players will react to being "sent back" to their community for some OL (ordinary life).

The "one adventure per season" rule/principle of the RQ:G was discussed in another thread, and I'd like to hear more about how you handle this. The timeline for the scenarios in GM Screen Pack doesn't follow this. The second and third of the scenarios take place in the same season. There's also an erroneous reference in the second, stating it takes place "less than a season after" the first, while if you follow the printed timeline, it takes place more than a season after the first. I would have no problem adhering to "one adventure per season", but I guess that if I want to follow the suggested timeline in the Adventure Book, I'll have to deprive the PCs of their seasonal income (or whatever the consequence is, I can't remember at the moment). Not that it'd matter much to them, as almost all of them are stinking rich from game start.

Please do!

I run a forum based game at rpol.net.

Thanks for answering my question. I guess I'll have to wing it. As I'm new to Pendragon I'm afraid I'll come up with something that is later contradicted by the GPC or other game materials.

I have a question about Hastur the Lawspeaker's title: Chief Priest. According to the Adventure Book of the GM screen pack he is Chief Priest of Lhankor Mhy at Clearwine Fort. As I understand it, there is only a shrine to Lhankor Mhy there. The only temples in Sartar I can find info on are the ones in Jonstown and Boldhome. So who is he chief over? Are there more Lhankor Mhy priests at Clearwine Fort? If so, how come they don't have a temple?

I have a PK doing intrigue trying to find out who the competition is.

I'm trying to determine who among the Gamemaster Characters are the most obvious rivals to the hands of the heiresses. Are there anywhere any clues as to who among the Barons etc. are already married and who might be looking to win, for example, the hand of young Lady Jenna?

I took the liberty of pasting your tables into a document. Would happily expand it if any creative persons added material.

I love your tables. I'd love to see more of them, covering events in the years 1574-1581.

If I cast Shield on myself, does it shield against Bladesharp on my sword? Against Mobility on my mount?

(RQ:G page 406) But what about the casting of Spirit Magic spells? What would be the normal cost to expect to get someone to cast a spirit magic spell?

According to Sartar : kingdom of heroes, the Vingan high holy day is in Earth Season the day the first Defender Storm blows. What week does this usually happen, and what exactly is the defender storm? Isn't it bothersome to go around waiting and then one day suddenly discover that today is your deity's high holy day? What if you are half way to Runegate to buy a dress for your niece? Are you supposed to keep your calendar agenda empty for all of Earth Season?

I have a question about the pregenerated Harmast. Base Farm is (10) (p.61) Sartar culture adds +20% (p.60) Knowledge modifier is +10% That is 40%, but Harmast is listed as having Farm 35%
