Just reading through mine and I note that somebody has been watching Life of Brian! :lol: "Jaguar Earlobes! Wolf's Nipples! Ocelot Spleen!"

It seems fair to say that in this case, yes there were major issues with MRQ1, and yes, a new edition was the cleanest way of resolving them (the alternative was a multitude of different rules scattered all over multiple supplements, which would have made people really unhappy). MRQ2 looks to...

There was at least one that wore a turban at one stage. Plus we've got scenes of Anderson wearing a helmet in various stories, although admittedly she does take it off prior to reading the launch codes in Apocalypse War. All the same, she does also remove her helmet on a lot of other...

For much the same reason(s) as anyone would play any other fantasy game over D&D. ;) Anyway, I think this is a great idea and am certainly looking forward to seeing how it develops over time.

2 men in rhino suits. :D

Has to be a league of fatties convention in the area. Something totally mundane like that, but all the weight causes structural failure in the block foundations and we have havoc and carnage. The company who built the city block need to be tracked down and sentenced fairly heavily (pun...

Not playtested, but I was thinking in terms of the "active defence" remark above, and it struck me that a shield should be something you can actually physically use. One way to model this under DW rules without bending things too much would be almost like an inverse berserk - sacrifice some...

Easy enough, it's a different kind of corruption: pride, love of their own works, wanting to order the world as they see fit, and wanting to preserve the world as it was in the Elder days.

Now THAT is a really neat idea. It could work like SAN in CoC. :D

The MERP modules (or at least the ones I bought back in the day), IMO, suffered a lot by the fairly heavy inclusion of dungeon crawls. Now, dungeon crawling is quintessentially Tolkien (Mines of Moria/Shelobs Lair/etc) but I mean D&D style dungeon crawls with rooms full of traps, monsters and...

Nysalor, of course. :wink: Arkat was just an opportunistic creep who wasn't ashamed to try find out exactly how low he would stoop to get his own way. "Oh boo-hoo, I don't like this new god. I know! I'll wreck half the world and make a mess of the mythic landscape for ages to come."

It's difficult to pin down exactly what Glorantha is as - as others have said - there are no real analogs or touchstones elsewhere. Best I can do is describe what it is to me: Rewind the clock to when your favourite stone/bronze age culture (Native American, Celtic, Ancient Greek, whatever)...

Yeah, it's mentioned here for starters: http://www.glorantha.com/library/religions/cult-bat.html ("Taking out" the Crimson Bat isn't exactly a final end for it, by the way...)

Impossible for me to think of that period without Blackadder coming to mind; any game I would set in that period would very quickly turn into a farce. I can already imagine the sailing trip to China... "you have a woman's buttocks, my lord". An intentional RQ Blackadder would however be a very...

More info on Legend! More info on Legend! More info on Legend! More info on Legend! I would love to see a "Western Lands" expansion, based on real-world Native American culture. It's already been touched on in Mungoda Gold, so why not go all the way? I can imagine that those lands would be...
