We never sank that low. Uz rule!!!!

Nysalor should not be a surprise. Elves have a long and deep connection with this Light cult. Mallia [mother of Disease] ... she is not always associated with Chaos. I can certainly see elves chosing this cult as a weapon which would threaten meat sacks, but has no effect on plants. Seven Mothers ... only traitors or Moon Elves (shamless plug here as I am currently working on that supplement for JC)

Can't believe you forgot this one: Holiday Dorastor: Woods of Terror has rules for generating Elf, Dryad, Runner, Pixie and Voralan adventurers.

Our next item in the Holiday Dorastor series deals specifically with Moon Elves. I would be happy to discuss some of the ideas presented there, but not sure if this thread is a right place.

I am totally in agreement with what Nick Brooke said above. then I was started out, I had the same fears that you are experiencing. I was afraid of stepping on ideas of others as well as being over written by other authors and in some respect of being over ruled by "official" material in some future or by posts here and in FB groups. What I found is totally opposite. The people here and in the Jonstown Compendium Creators Circle (on Facebook) are both incredably supportive in bouncing your idea off as well collaboration. In fact I would highly suggest that you perhaps join with someone on your first publication. I know it has worked for me for seven items.

In our Holiday Dorastor series we went with the idea that Redwoods do not develop Dryads, but are themselves sentient with abilities and there are Hero Quests that depending how things go could go either way.

What we use is have the owner make a Handle Animal, or Animal Lore or whatever similar skill check. If its a success then roll for the animal as though it is a PC.

Combine, maybe. Tap is more of destructive force or implies forceful taking (IMO), which would be appropriate in some situation I guess and for some sorcerers.

I am looking for any cult write ups for Hippoi, Redaylda or King Griffin cults. I seen some mention of them in various places, but nothing concrete.

Hard for me to say at the moment (this supplement took way longer than the others. It was 80% done in September of 2021). But my original thought process Would go something like: If the Rune was Death than the technique should be Command since the magic is establishing dominance over the subject, but being spell accepted and used by Aldraymi it is tied to Life and the limitations, or boundries it places on the dead. It therefore constrains and I felt that Combine fit. This actually brings up a point that I have certainly use in that the same Sorcery Spell can be learned and cast using different Runes and Techniques with pretty much the same result. So Death, Command is just as valid as Fertility, Combine and the version known depends on the source.

Now that the Holiday Dorastor: Woods of Terror is out, I must admit that we added more than the three spells I listed above. Here are the additional ones Bramble Wall Plant/Summon Defoliate Plant/Death/Tap Heal Forest Plant/Fertility/Summon Hold Undead Fertility/Combine Lifeforce Plant/Fertility/Combine Rooted Plant/Magic/Combine Ward Against Poison Fertility/Dispel

I have done a number of conversions from "other" games. What I found useful is taking a story line, the maps and main characters; using these, but getting rid off random encounters and various monster variations. The biggest issue is moving these things into a Gloranthan setting and taking out things which do not fit. It is generally easier to convert an encounter, than a whole module.

Thanks for making a good thing better.

Well .... yes, yes it is. There are certainly aspect of that in several of the Ogre tribes in the Seven Hills.

I am thinking that Etyries can be worshipped as a subcult of Issaries, or as a seperate cult. Yes, although it may be advantageous for PC not to do that to bypass the CHA limit on Rune Pools.

I believe the temple was joinedly occupied in New Pavis. Etyries is Issaries' daughter. The link here is actually much stronger than in other cases.

Now we are getting into the Spirit of it.

I would agree. However, I have used it recently when PCs were trying to get NPCs into a Shield Wall formation. Also used it in the same battle for the other side attempting to break thru that said formation. Worked rather well.

I said later, What is later after RQ2?

The confusion was with what familiars were in RQ3.

The interesting thing is the True Scimitar spell that YT gets. I would say it works on Kopis, Scimitars, curved short swords and daggers, maybe even sickles, but not on straight weapons.

Which confused things to no end later on. These "familiars" were basically servants in animal form. I guess in RQG you may be able to use them as any other spirit can be used/partnered as well.

I believe that Malkioni familiars are a variation of Allied Spirits. Somewhat similar abilities with relation to Sorcery skills as opposed to having access to Rune magic. Teh Godless sorcerers, again in my opinion, use magic to create a homoculus or something similar to what was used in RQ3.

Yes, I said that his Kopis skill is equal to his Broadsword skill. I'm making him start Scimitar form scratch.
