When you parry with a sword, or shield, do you subtract any excess damage from the HP of the sword/shield? or the character?

Thanks!! Thank you very much! This is exactly what I needed, awesome! As for what books I have for Glorantha, as I said earlier in the thread, I only have the 2nd Age Glorantha Campaign setting book.

What parts then? This is the case, I have no idea, I’m brand new to this setting, know little about it and it’s people/cultures/nations, I only posses a pdf-version of the main setting book, which makes browsing it difficult, also I posses no other sources for Glorantha. The grouping of...

Would this list, or parts of this list, apply or be compatible with 2nd Age Glorantha? Something like that list would be nice to have for the 2nd Age anyways, could someone help out here? My knowledge of this setting is limited at best, I've already portrayed the Uz completely contrary to what...

Ok, thanks, useful and nice, what I then would like to have, because I like it the harsh way too, is a list of languages... as I can’t find it in the setting book... of course I can presume that most cultures have different languages, but I find the book lacking information about cultures...

Now, this, this is something I use to skip, unless they travel a lot, but now, with my players present, they want to know, and they come from quite a variety of places... so, what about languages in Glorantha... One is a Kraloreli noble run-away (with some girl with him, bad idea), one is a...

Bergen, Norway.

the metaplot would be the one big issue I have with l5r too, other than that, wicked. Legend of the Burning Sands (or LoBS ;) ) is coming out soon, august I think, so yay for that. Now, RQ, seeing that I’m now starting to buy into the whole idea around Glorantha as a setting, I had one furhter...

I have to admit, after reading more in the book, especially the gazetteer and about Safelster I have come to like the setting more and more. Although I have now joined a second project, creating yet another setting, albeit on a much smaller scale than my harp project and this is more generic...

so back to glorantha, sorry for the tangent about combat rules. I’m looking through the book and I’m wondering, if any of my players wanted to play an Uz, dwarf or an Aldryami, and I would feel inclined to let them, then since there are no stats/characteristics provided in the book would I use...

soltakss: my use of adjacent is of course used with that square-based-rpg-gone-warhammer-quest-strategy-hero-game (otherwise known as dnd, d&d or dungeon & dragons) in mind. So what you all are telling me is that weapons, instead of having longer or shorter reach in a sort of range term, has...

Ok, what you are saying is of course blatantly obvious, the world is what I want it to be, so I’m determined to give it a try or a deeper delve at least, but I’m keeping my eye on Elric too, as.. well.. I’ve had my eyes on the whole Elric character since I saw the books and the old Stormbringer...

Perhpas my problem is the focus on myths, I’m not a great fan of that, not to say that I don’t like it, but in my games (and the world I’m co-creating/writing for HARP) has myths, but thats what they are, myths, not facts, which is the way I like it. I have no problem with myths, my issue is...

All right, so the third age is still going strong, but under a different publisher, and therefore I presume a different system too? I’ve been looking at the other settings supplied for RQ: Elric of Melniboné, Lankhmar, Hawkmoon and Slaine, whilst I’m reading Micheal Moorcock at the moment, I’ve...

Thanks for answers, points of view and opinions. Much and truly appreciated. I’ve been reading some more, and while the world seems intriguing, it seems to be a bit too, I don’t know, I have a hard time swallowing the whole idea, not that I think that its a bad or silly world, just not my cup...
