MOB Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 #RuneQuest update: Recently discovered writings by the late Greg Stafford have revealed the famous "Sable Tribe" of Prax does not ride a type of antelope as long supposed.

d(sqrt(-1)) Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Also the tribal elders of the Baboon tribe featured much more heavily in early Glorantha (Glorontha?) board games, as the earlier name WHITE BEARD, RED MOON shows... 1 Quote Always start what you finish.
