Stew Stansfield 435 Report post Posted August 17, 2019 Hi, all! Well, this thread's been up for three years and it's been a good run! There've been some really fun posts and I'm grateful for the interactions. But I'll probably draw my contributions to a close in the form of this thread. Please continue if you'd like (don't mind me)! One thing I would say, though: Glorantha's ducks are, for the most part, little more than a superficial shibboleth; a fairly shallow badge of tribal belonging; the sign that doesn't really signify anything. But occasionally, if we let them, they become more interesting. Try and focus on telling those rarer stories if you can. They pay off in the end. 😀 3 1 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Interesting—Howard the Duck was definitely the model for my duck, right down to the definite article for a middle name. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hope you have more to say on the Ducks of the Hero Wars, famous or otherwise in the future. Cheers 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Despite his modern trappings could certainly see Gerber & Kirby's Destroyer Duck as a model for a Durulz Uroxi. Heck, he's fought both zombies and Medea (of all people), and the parasitic spine thing is a Chaos horror if ever there was one. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stew Stansfield 435 Report post Posted May 3 And some people say ducks don't like necromancy... A peculiar little supplement for a peculiar little people, coming in a month or so! (When I finish a couple more pieces of art at my usual glacial pace.) It will focus on the DUCKS, the DUCKS AND and the MORE DUCKS counters of Dragon Pass (Chaosium, 1980). Included will be: the wyters and guardian spirits of the three duck counters, and their history, lore and mysteries detailed stats and descriptions of the duck warriors, their arms and armament, and insights into the secrets of duck warfare new Rune spells, spirit cults and magic items expanded character-creation options, including additional Family History tables and all-new occupations and skills 18 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
