  1. Some of you may have already noticed Gloranthan runes showing up on this site. They are the same as the Gloranthan Core Rune Font (except with sorcery runes!) and available in two sizes: Large 50pt Small 20pt (suitable for use in a sentence) There are two methods of using them. METHOD 1 Click the Emoji button in the editing toolbar (may not appear on small screens, see method 2). Then click categories on the top right At the bottom you will find Big Runes and Small Runes: Select the size you want, then click on the rune to insert it: METHOD 2 Use the command code for emojis (easier than you think). The command code is a colon : There must be a space in front of it. type a colon, then start on the name of the rune, then select the rune you want: as you can see it brings up all the emojis with fire, so you can use a more exact name. The format is size (50 or 20) Type (element, power, form, condition, combination, god, sorcery, sub, rune) name. all separated by hyphens, eg 20-power-death, 50-condition-fate or you can just type: or Hopefully that will get you started. And yes I know about the the name of storm bull.
  2. Everyone (that means you), please remember to keep this a welcoming place for everyone.
  3. @lordabdul has added all of the covers and table of contents for Oriflam's Tatou magazine: https://wellofdaliath.chaosium.com/home/catalogue/publishers/oriflam/tatou-1988-1996/ If you need assistance, Google translate works fine on the pages. Many thanks for doing this. If anyone would like to help in tidying up and adding to a corner of the site, please contact me.
  4. Please be aware that you can't publicly distribute (even for free, on a public forum) any IP that belongs to someone else without their permission. So While redoing the Book of Monsters with CC art is possible, please ensure that it's credited as such. Likewise that none of the other material in the book belongs to someone else. For example the very first entry, aarakocra, is Wizards of the Coast IP. The info for using the BRP SRD is here: https://brp.chaosium.com/using-the-brp-srd/ . We already have an excellent product released under the BRP SRD: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/321297/Toxandria
  5. It's at the end of The Melee Round (page 191) Mods and Admins see all the hidden items, it's currently 8 pages long (you only see 1), so when another page fills for us, I move it over to the RuneQuest Glorantha Corrections and Q&A.
  6. It's entirely dependent on the situation. None of my players use two weapons, making combat quicker / easier. So dependant on the actions: Depending on who the opponent is, baboons would only go for a knockdown if the target is the same size or smaller than them. The knockdown attempt is usually augmented with their strength or Beast (both usually 80%, so normally i'd just roll). If they succeed and get the knockdown as well (usually 50/50 + plus an DEX augment, they might get a special) the next round is an aimed head/neck bite at SR12, otherwise carry on with a spear. A single melee round spear at SR6 and Knockback attempt at SR12, would mean no parry or dodge. (I wouldn't do that). The second round would only be a bite, as they've a two handed weapon, with the same damage as their claws. The bite does more damage. Overall, with creatures with multiple weapons, look at how they work when fighting, rather than focussing on the weapons and numbers.
  7. RQ Bestiary, Weapons, page 8: Two-weapon combat was further clarified in Rune Fixes 2 – 18th March 2020 Baboons, page 29: Looking at the ranges involved a baboon would use it's spear and it has a longer reach than claw, then bite, then rush its target to grapple and bite or claw. One attack and as many parry / dodge as available. Note that a baboon with a shield and spear can't claw. The baboon tactics I use are: spear, then knockback, hoping for a knockdown then bite.
  8. Not asked there. All of the Q&A have been transferred to the appropriate Q&A on the Well of Daliath, where not still in thread. Locked threads are still searchable if the content is there. The WoD is fully searchable: RuneQuest: Roleplaying in Glorantha – Q&A by Chapter RuneQuest Gamemaster Screen Pack – Q&A RuneQuest Glorantha Bestiary – Q&A The Red Book of Magic – Q&A
  9. It appears in Mansions of Madness, in the Sanitorium: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/1636/Mansions-of-Madness.
  10. The text on page 61 is correct, the character sheets are incorrect. Thanks for spotting this. I've added it to the Corrections and Q&A Adventurer Sheet page.
  11. Okay, the runes are done. Go to the emoji button on the toolbar. You will see Big Runes and Small Runes. Big are 50pt , small are 20pt (for use in sentences). The format is mostly :size-type-name:, with colon being the command for emojis, so you can type colon 50-power-death colon as you type the subsets will appear, so starting with a colon 20 or 50 is easier than using the emoji menu . I'm not going to announce it yet so those in this thread can use them everywhere and we'll see how it goes. Then next week I will announce them. Cthulhu next.
  12. Done. @Oracle It would be helpful to add a link to each episode so newcomers can dive straight in.
  13. Is this a mistake and should the character use the correct Rune percentage instead? Yes, that should be the Rune’s chance. I don't get it. It seems that there is a contradiction here. Any hint? Corrected

    This topic has run its course and has descended into opinionated mud slinging. It's now locked. Please feel free to start another thread.
  15. This is not a straightforward task. My advice would be to alter the BRP sheet from the SRD site yourself. Many PDF readers allow you to do simple edits, so changing skills and headers is possible Alternatively, convert it to a jpg or other graphic format and paste a new list of skills on top, likewise the header.
  16. Correct. The Black Spear is an example of a complex wyter. As well being a wyter, it can be seen as an allied spirit of the Tribe, and thus as initiate of Orlanth Rex hence its rune points. Unusually It has a long and complicated history, due to the fact the clan has existed for centuries. No. Except when they are complex composite beings. The Black Spear can cast the Orlanth Rex Magic the tribal King has, in this case Command Priests, Command Worshipers, and Detect Honor. Yes. Not exactly. Their points come from seasonal holy days and are capped at POW, and they cannot regenerate them. (see RQG page 287). Yes. The thread you referenced by Jeff covers the Wyter POW economy.
  17. Likewise on the other Discord servers we participate in.
  18. It's an informal event. No recordings were made. Likewise once over we reset the Discord server fresh for the next one.
