Oracle Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 You tease me with all this fantastic stuff, and then you tell me I have to wait until summer? (Which means June at least.) Shame on you! 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the source image we sent him: Me thinks that the "Das Schwarze Auge" art crew had this western picture as their reference image also. International nobody will notice the coincidence of the DSA box cover and the RQ Starter Set book cover. In germany the coinicidence might have a POSITIVE (nostalgia) effect for the product. We will have to wait and see (Uhrwerk Verlag already mentioned that the Starter Set will be the next RQ products after their three initial releases: core book, GM Pack and Bestiary).

I'm pretty sure it says "Ride (Sable Antelope)". Fuzzy, but the capital letters and word length seem correct. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a huge trope. ”The Power Walk is a wide shot of the main cast, shoulder to shoulder, suited up for battle and looking cool/determined/fierce as they walk towards the camera and often in slow motion. The Power Walk is mostly used in order to convey the unity of the group, as they walk in an orderly fashion in a single line. Traditionally the characters are ordered in their importance in the party, the most important in the middle and decreasing outwards.” https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PowerWalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to expand my Google Sheets adventurer creation to support as many races as possible. I need to think about how to more easily accommodate unlisted races. There will probably be a dragonewt and a Fox Woman among their number as these one-off nonhuman adventurers. However, we're still wrestling with how to present dragonewts as viable longterm player characters for the upcoming Elder Races set. They may remain NPC-only. But as a single-use sort of character, they're not going to cause too much damage. 🙂 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Problem solved!" 😁 In all fairness, the magisaur starts out as a now mortal scout dragonewt, and gains size (and loses intellect) with rather advanced age. So, yes, problem solved. Certainly better than starting with a demibird-riding warrior newt with the option to become a triceratops within a few reincarnations.

Richard S. Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Speaking as someone who's been obsessed with dragonewts since I first found Glorantha, Magisaurs don't really scratch the same "I wanna play a dragon man" itch. I get that dragonewts are difficult to use as anything but NPCs, but it would be nice if there were options for crested or beaked newts who had just lost the path and become mortal while still retaining their form, rather than just saying "play a dinosaur instead", or even some way to play orthodox dragonewts. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with Dragonewts as Player Characters is that they are supposed to be unpredictable, unfathomable, and so foreign to Humans that we simply don't understand them. The only way to make them playable would be to wipe away all of that mystery and most or all of their secrets. Without trying to sound glib, it's hard to have it both ways. I totally get that their mysterious nature makes them sound way cool to play, but I'd rather they just be a mystery. I suppose you could play a mortal dragonewet with total and permanent amnesia, but I doubt that's what you would want. 6 Quote Hope that Helps,Rick Meints - Chaosium, Inc.
