Campaign started today :)

So things went great. One player absent, but with 3 it still went great. It was a bit hectic and chaotic. I borrowed an idea someone posted here, and mixed things up. Spoken shortly, a local priest of an Issaries subcult had turned to god learner philosophy, and had a plan to bind a powerfull troll ancestor spirit into a lead statue, as a weapon.

The cue for the characters was to investigate the cult possibly being able to convert lead to gold.

Enter a pair of zorak zoran devotees not keen on abusing a troll hero like this, and a great three way battle erupted. Not sure if it even makes sense in "real" glorantha, but in ours, it damn well does.

They each have a bit of magic now, the Jrusteli learning sorcery healing, and the other two getting a rune each. Im rather convinced though, that I'll use the idea I've seen mentioned, that if you belong to a cult, you can learn any rune magic spell tied to that cults runes, you just have to learn the skill normally.


A good time was had by all, though they hate mostali now, after an unpleasant encounter with a few of them in a deep, dank lead mine

Congratulations!

Sounds like friends, grudges and feared foes are setting up nicely....

Fights with more than two sides are always fun. Sounds like a good start.

Good luck! My experiences with Glorantha have boiled down to the following advice:

Just play. Don't agonize over things. Have fun. It is much easier than it looks.

Did your players got any moral choices ?

It ended up being a bit lighter on those, than I had hoped, since they didnt uncover some bits of information I had figured they would. But players never do as expected

In the end, they did have to choose between supporting the crazy priest and the zorak zoran devotees, whom they had originally pegged as bad guys, so that was fun
