Yep. It had also the effect of increasing Fame with higher looks (but the cost was decreasing).

Nice ideas. The L shaped is very well thought. But you've been beaten for the non square with very different size: Chaosium did it in Griffin Island. One treasure room (I don't remember which one, but I think it is in the tower in Soldier Port) has it's entrance protected by a Ward spell 10 cm thick. If I remember well, it was described that when you enter the room, you cross the limit twice, taking the Warding damage 2 times.

I've read 'Le chat du Rabbin'. I liked the story, by I'm not fond of the drawings. I agree with you the style is completely different of the one he uses in his fantasy drawings or in his 'Charlie Hebdo' drawings. His Petit Vampire's drawings, I find nice and I bought several to my last son. The rest, I don't know much.

I enjoyed reading Wild Cards. But the GoT sales by far exceed those of Wild Cards, and the super market is already taken by Disney and Warner. Having a big hit would be difficult and expensive. I grant you Martin's name would be a great help. So true.

Yes, Dungeon is really nice. As a writer, Sfar is very good.My appreciation of his drawings would be less elogious.

Nice pic. What do you see (in Glorantha, of course)? Pent? Grazelanders?

Yes, but how many people remember Wildcards?

I didn't knew. I didn't knew either. Thanks for the info. What system does it use?

As I wrote above, I quit playing Superworld because I thought (and still think) that Champions is better in modeling Superpowered characters, as BRP is better to simulate gritty, lower level games. The lack of support of Superworld is not a reason to quit in itself, but does worsen the problem. Right. They also give ideas when lacking inspiration. I had such a blessing. This is not the case anymore.

I did. Nothing was lost. Completely agree.

It's not that it is popular here, but there has been 3 new release since the first that has been translated to english by Chaosium. The last publisher is the licensee for RQG in french (Edge).

Do you speak (or more properly read) french?

I've just checked before answering, but saw nothing. Marc answer is what I found. I can understand Jeff's answer, or at least the rationale behind, but it is not in the rules. Apart to that, I think the rules as written are right: the spell is not provided by the cult, but by the god in exchange of your POW. In the case of a spirit magic spell, the cult is doing the teaching, and it is right to request something in exchange, be it silver or cows, but in the case of rune magic, the god is providing the spell, not the cult.

No money. An initiate gets a new rune spell each time he spends a POW point to get a new Rune point. I haven't seen anything that restricts that, except you need a temple.

In RQIII, Orlanth's metal was silver. In RQG, Air/Thunder god's metal is bronze (silver is for lunar gods).

I stopped playing Superworld when I shifted to Champions around 1988. This was more because I thought the Hero system was better for supers and BRP was better for gritty games than because of the (lack of) support at the time. The fact that there has been 3 new versions of Champions vs nothing for Superworld does in fact reinforce the problem. Nephilim is not a Chaosium game. It was developed by Multisim. The Chaosium version I saw was a translation of the french 1st edition. There has been at least 3 other versions in french, but none have been translated. There are still enough french players (of which I am not) to enable the authors to find publishers.

Joerg beat me on the run. See his answer above. He his (for me) right on spot.

No, he is not part of your clan. Seems to me a good plot. I wish your player a good hunting.

I would say that the severance IS the initiation.

I discovered the Hittites by reading Christian Jacq's Ramses. Book 3 is about the battle of Kadesh, what occured before and what followed. It is seen through the egyptian eyes, but a good part of the book takes part in the Hittite capitol and involves the royal family. It was a good introduction (for me). I don't know if the books are available in english, but if they are, I recommend them.

Humakti loves their children too!

Why note, ehm, why not?

(Very very frightening me) Indeed!

We should ask Al Yankovic to sing Pelorian Polka.

In my RQ games, either as player or GM, everybody can learn to read, but of course not everybody wants. The trick is to be able to find somebody / some organization that ia able to teach it, and that accepts to do it. Lhankor Mhy and Irripi Ontor are the main ones, but requires the applicant to be at least lay member, in addition to services and tuition costs. Sorcery require to be able to read, so sorcerors may be a source. Other teachers are rare, if any exists in your area, especially if you play in Dragon Pass area or near. Far West and Kralorela may be another matter.
