there was a series of jokes about the name? so I took it to its (il)logical conclusion, Ralians And Listaguj, Kralorelans And Zzaburites, And the Rest are Krjalki? humor. literally just a thread of humorous alternative titles like DOG, FUBAR, COCK, GaGoGbWaEpYaErGaG. Please note I added Actual Canadian Humor. Listuguj is a Miigmaw First Nation in the Maritimes.

not sure if serious, but I actually only made the ol' R.A.L.K.A.Z.A.R.K. joke before this after a bunch of other people were making ridiculous names for it (how could I not) and I actually am fine with the name? maybe you confused my replies with someone else?

@jajagappa oh my, I must be confused. so the Lunar siege of Nochet when Samastina is queen is a separate siege? Why would there have been a siege of Nochet about 1620 when Hendira was still queen? I've got all my books packed (I'm mid-move) so I confused the Warm and and Old Earth Alliance, my very bad. I'm... not good at moving due to a disability so my brains are scattered everywhere.

I think you misspelled Bagog's name, Crel

I still vote for R.A.L.Z.A.K.A.R.K.

o thank the gods, i cannnnnnoootttt play that game on my phone. i just can't do it. i need to do it on a laptop or gaming console for health reasons.

Cults of Prax... with RQG/HQ stats

I don't think Esrolians were there in large numbers, and not Samastina, as while the Lunars were repelled from the siege of Warm Earth Nochet, it was a brutal affair and the city suffered significant losses. They were in no shape to send troops anywhere and Samastina and her Ring were still keeping order in the city. A city after siege is a city close to anarchy; certainly the near-loss was a boost to morale but things were very unstable, the walls were breached and sections of the city ruined, and there was significant civil, martial, and ritual work to be done.

they always get real suspicious of like some f*in barrel on the docks instead of like the broo slavers badly disguised with tall hats moving kidnapped children in boxes. they then spend the next hour of real time investigating the barrel, which you mentioned in passing because IT IS THE DOCKS. then they hunt down the owner of the barrel, so you obligingly make it stuck on the docks in the first place because the badly-disguised broo! have bought out all the storage space in the place it was supposed to go. a broo answers the door, badly-disguised, and they give it the barrel of garum sauce. now satisfied, they go to the inn to drink. and you have a headache. Ralians And Listaguj, Zzaburites, Kralorelans And Zistor, And the Rest are Krjalki

I haven't seen the Chaosium rules since they had actual Arabic in the back and the smell of the old storage facility (second edition?), I had no idea they used sorcery runes! Also, is there any reason those aren't also at https://glorantha.fandom.com/ ?

i know for certain MIT gamers play a base-12 tabletop game also, canonically in Supernatural, "Baby" is the most important object in the universe

weirdly, the hardest thing for me about RQG is that it is percentile. It takes me RIGHT out of the fiction. No idea why, but percentile games always have. I really, really hate percentile. It's just... math? I know I could roll a d20 as percentile by fives, but somehow it's not the same! It just really breaks my immersion super hard.

all i know is it was patrilineally-transmitted White Deerism. Wouldn't it be a kind of hsunchen? Isn't hsunchen a term for people who still maintain a lack of beast division from ancient days? I know people like to be really specific about it meaning something now ("a descendant of the Mikyh-Hykim twins who lives in the wild etc.") but before the Dawn we're still dealing with mythic things.

thanks! i didn't know that about pteruges. i know a little about historical armor from books over the years, but a lot of my practical facts about Greek and Hellenistic armor honestly comes from playing Assassin's Creed: Origins and Odyssey. I learned all sorts of words! And then I started learning pre-Christian Alexandrian Koine Greek!

I meant it contextually, you little munchkin

well those terms are not quite exact: there's a positive effect of breakdown of materials into edible parts using things like lactobacillus and fermentation as well as other processes, all of which are putrefaction. The author of the study commented that the food was quite good but it was a little upsetting to work around the dead afterwards (his speciality) and find certain smells of death sometimes made his mouth water. mmm, cadavers! (not cadaverine, which is toxic.) anyway, forms of putrefaction are Darkness, while the presence of harmful disease-causing things is Chaos-tainted and Darkness is Chaos' first-line enemy.

d6 roll like crap, i applaud your decision

Shipman is a never-ending dumpster-fire of evil

like for real heort + -l "little hart" + -ing "member of group", it's exactly "li'l deer peeps"

i'd love to have a really grim adventure involving starvation times and ogres and madness like some of the really terrifying films that have come out, and then have the harrowed, terrified escaping survivors stumble upon some uz, who are handily eating mushroom stew in a cavern. said uz then have a mental breakdown trying to understand that cannibalism is an irrevocable and horrifying path to darkest Chaos? sorry, what did you say, you tiny little enlo wannabe?

the one ring does indeed, and I love it. it is both well-done mechanically and beautiful. sadly i do not want to play middle earth games and hope it will be used for, like, dino-pirates of skull island or something

My Yiddish thinks this means an Alpine pub Bronze Age meat storage was "tied to weights in cool lakes" when it wasn't "dried and pounded with berries and fat into pemmican". There's a lot of research, but the soundbite version is here, which is "lactobacillus digests it, and an archaeologist actually proved it by preserving meat and eating it for a year out of a lake" http://www.ur.umich.edu/9495/May08_95/storage.htm

TIL the Heortlings are called that because they are "little Harts". They were deer hsunchen and Heort was named that because it's a variant form of the Old English word for "hart". Sometimes I am really not very observant.

Yeah but ElmEr is REAL
