Where are the Ducks?

[Sgt. Brassones]

I picked up the Glorantha source book this weekend and was reading the section on the inhuman races. Listed are everyone but Ducks which brought up a question; do they exist in the Second Age?

 

[GoingDown]

Yes, they exist.See this thread about ducks:

I hope we are getting book about Ducks!

I'd guess the ansver is "In Dragon Pass".

I think it is safe to say that the Ducks will, at some point, get a book all to themselves

Urgh!

I'm pretty sure the "silly ducks" approach is not a selling point. I run the durulz as just one of the beastmen of Dragon Pass. They are a bit tragic, but they are no joke.

Then where's the fun?

Where I agree that silly is not a good approach for a good and dramatic RPG race (I ABHORE GNOMES). That said, the ducks kinda are...a sad, sardonic and cynical joke played by Glorantha itself, but a joke nonetheless.

I think we left enough of the humour factor with the ducks that certain Glorantha games will be able to happily make them as comical as they want to; but they can equally be a tragically downtrodden race of second class citizens in another person's game.

When the Player's Guide comes out, I think duck fans will be happy for several reasons. Many of which have been stated in these very forums!
