Hello everybody. I've just finished a session today. It involved a covert assassination inside the clan of the players, and a subsequent persecution and ...
... This is where the wyter's ability to warn plays off against the assassins' relevant abilities and you roll. (Assassination is pretty hostile, I don't see...
YGWV I'm in agreement with Peter here. JarEel didn't have to prove herself like HonEel did, and was raised in privilige. So she probably had at least a core of...
YGWV ... The wyters are not infallible beings, but have limitations that are largely personal. That is, they can do the things that they can do, but have...
A copy from Gloranthan Digest, since I think you guys should see this too. Chris is a genious. I hope I captured his idea properly. Subject : Darksense carried...
... I'm not talking about heroquests at all. I was referring to the game HeroQuest. In RQ3 at least is was clearly a designers choice to have the PCs look...
YGWV ... I agree. Brilliant and wonderful. ... Yes, I do not recall the quotes from TrollPak, but I had always considered it "like sonar" rather than to be...
I'm running a game set in Ralios during the 2nd Age. I was curious about the Stygian Empire that was there before in the 1st Age and details on the 1st Age in...
YGWV ... The Sytgian Empire did not exist in the First Age. It was founded by Arkat after his return from destroying Gbaji. ... Ralios in the Dawn Age was...
... Shannon Appelcline wrote an article on the Galanini, I forget where but was published, but was kind enough to provide me with the rest of the rough notes....
... Well the Autarchy (the Stygian Empire) doesn't get established until 450 and is conquered by 740 so it's really an early Imperial Age Empire. It's not...
As those of you who attended Tentacles know, a preview edition of Blood over Gold, by the esteemed Jeff Kyer and friends, was available for purchase. (It was a...
... I'm delighted to read that review! I talked a lot with Jeff as he wrote this, and saw various portions of it at various stages of completion. I thought...
YGWV I'd like to solicit some opinions and options from you all. As you may know, I'm working on a complete mythology of the Heortlings. Getting all the...
... upon ... One that I've been thinking about recently is Ernalda as transmitter of culture. That is, women have traditionally imparted a large part of the...
... This aspect is actually already covered by the grannies - Asrelia/Ty Kora Tek - with their Recieve and Distribute affinities. I know we discussed this when...
... I vaguely recall reading that the natural state of Glorantha is twilight, ie if there was no light rune and no darkness rune, the whole world would be...
... I think the biggie is Ernalda's side of her courtship by Orlanth. Why did she choose him? How did she attract him? Clearly the tests she set him were to...
I've always wondered about the exact details of the Marriage of Orlanth and Ernalda. From the Ernaldan side it seems very uneven and to her disadvantage,...
YGWV ... Will you provide me with a couple of examples, or some explanation, of the female perspective on the Dark Earth to guide me in this? -- Sincerely, ...
YGWV There is so much in this letter that confuses me that I don’t even know where to begin. ... Of course, there are seven stories of this. One for each...
YGWV I'm rather shocked to see the opinions expressed here. These are not what I said at all, and if John is this confused then I can only imagine what less...
YGWV ... Of course, sonar = SOund Navigation And Ranging, which is not entirely incorrect. But the medium through which it moves is not air or water, it is...
... Given that trolls have to cope with just as much noise as humans do in the environments they live in, even if Darksense is precisely equivalent to sonar,...
... How good is their sense of smell? I always consider it pretty much up there with dogs (i.e. a million times better than ours, this being the statistic I ...
Hail to the Gregmeister ... roles.) ... This is something that I am super interested in, and has been debated at length elsewhere - YGWV and MGF and all that. ...
... As a sequence of events? ... Ernalda is the ruler, yet she only stands by while Orlanth makes dumb decisions and acts upon them. Heortling women leave the...
... Ernalda is patient and far-sighted. Orlanth is the Storm and will act accordingly. Ernalda is the Earth and will act accordingly. These aren't "dumb...
