    Role-playing games are GOOD for you. They are NOT the work of the devil.

  1. I think the system is robust enough to allow any levels you'd like. RQ2 leaned into the "zero to hero" trope, and starting PC's apex skills were typically well below 50%; RQG has the same basic chassis at the table, but char-gen produces much more experienced starting characters routinely have apex skills of 85% and over. I wouldn't bother with limiting to only +15% on combat skills... someone who grows up in a military family, or a hunting one, IS going to learn a higher level of weapon skills than the general populace... and that's honestly OK. Whatever level you pick: sanity-check your choices by attempting to min-max whatever you select in a few runs of character-creation.
  2. Honestly, you seem to be asking folks to do your own game-development for you. As to which book(s): I expect the core BRP book -- either BGB or UGE editions (UGE only if you're looking to publish) -- would have all (or at least most) of what you need. Try there, flesh out the majority of your talents, and look to other books when/if you find yourself unable to fill out your last few. Also -- fwiw -- the every-other-line format seems hard to read. I'd collect the ages, and indent the sub-points:

    Kitori Warbands

    Hmm. Can you lay out a few rough outlines for us?

    Kitori Warbands

    Not even all Orlanthi have leadership confined to the "Rex" cult. Sometimes an Ernalda priestess, or someone Solar, or even a Goldentongue, will become leader. And the Kitori aren't entirely an "Orlanthi" culture.
  5. Back onto the Furthest book: does it have any other artworks (besides maps) going onto (or already on) Redbubble?
  6. One must -- quite Obviously, my friend -- write in an archaic fashion, with Randomly Capitalized letters, such that the Modern Reader is utterly Befuddled, and quite entirely Forgets to Post their so-called Corrections.
  7. Thank you, Jason... this answers exactly the question I was about to pose (and confirms the rhetorical "it's probably a PITA to reconcile..." I was gonna include).
  8. You are not exaggerating! 1st-10th is the "first part" of the month, 11th-20th is the "middle" & 21st-end is the "last part" of the month. Alternatively, we are 3 days from the single mid-month day (the 15th; or 4 from the 16th), vs. 11 days from the "start" of the month. 🙂 I am absolutely certain that Chaosim will give us "news" when there is "news" to give: they are, after all, in the business of selling us these books! But I think they do not care to be in the business of periodically saying "No news; no, not a single new." Nevertheless, I share your agony... all praise Danfive Xaron & the Lunar Way!
  9. No news because (at least some of) the books are still somewhere in the shipping process. So long as there is a piece of the process with events outside Chaosium control (storms re-routing container-ships, stevedore strikes stopping unloading, a ship going crosswise in the Suez, etc; which, IIRC, have each caused substantive delays in deliveries) I think "in the shipping process" IS the state of things, and the Chaosium position is that "there isn't any news to report."

    Durulz & Death

    So, we know the Durulz are inherently "death-y" and show up with more Humakti than one would expect from your random bunch of Donald & Howard wannabe's. What about some other "Death-y" cults? Lookin atchu, Magasta, with your alongside your ... But also, Urox got that + thang goin' on. And of course, everyone knows the Ducks are only "small" because so much of their mass is stuck in the chip on their shoulder... so the whole vengeance-y aspects of Babeester Gor should appeal to (at least some) Durulz. Now, obviously Humakt "owns" ... in some ways Humake is ... so I see him being the most-apt for the drake schtick. But what of those other gods? Aren't they (at least some of them) also likely to pick up a few more Ducks than one would expect, simply because of the Durulz' runic affinity?
  11. Also: I have long been struck by similarities between the "timeless" eternal Now of Glorantha's "God Time" with (what I understand of) the Australian "Dreamtime."
  12. Given that Runemagic is heroforming your god... and that cattle-raiding is a ubiquitous pastime of most Sartarites... Orlanth is always stealing his own cattle.
  13. I haven't picked up QUASAR yet; it's on my "to-buy" list, but I'm unclear on this point: if you're still basically using BRP core(?), there's AFAIK absolutely no reason you couldn't submit your next(ish) publication to the contest.
