My only contribution would be to what we refer to in the UK as 'stating the bleedin obvious.' Caveat: YGWV When thinking of Gloranthan mountains I get away...
... Yes, this makes a lot of sense, though I can't (yet) point at anywhere on the DP map and say "look, glaciation!" Mythically, we're probably looking at...
... Amen. Call me an arrogant cock (and I am), but if I--with a First in Geology and a PhD in volcanology, products of years of interest and study--don't give...
... Amen. ... Because some of us (probably most of us) like Glorantha to be similar enough to the Real World to be recognisable, and close enough that we can...
... My answer is the same as before: I'm not interested, I'm afraid. Whilst I can sympathize with the desire to inform our imaginations with observations of...
... Shame. In that case we'll just have to take ages trying to work it out ourselves, and that's going to be slow. ... What I say is "how?" and "why?" because...
This is quite possibly one of the finest rants I have ever heard. Here, here, sir! Here, here! I think that in the 'march of mundanity' much of the magic seems...
... Does this mean that I am not going to get an New Model Lunar Army action some point down the track? Disappointment! -- John Machin "Nothing is more...
Your Mountains May Vary. The fancy mountains are not physically high anyway right - they are magically high. Just use whatever is locally accepted as a huge...
... Not while I'm climnbing them they don't! ... We know that. They're not under discussion. ... Oh, don't be daft! So one player's looking at the Alps,...
Just a caveat: My POV is highly subjective. I'm not really in this as a world-builder, I play in Glorantha and (aside from vague refences to Bat Shit...
... Ah.... unless specified, I'm only posting here things that are potentially of use to the world-wide Gloranthan tribe. A rather different approach. ... So...
stu_stansfield ... I may be even weirder than some of the other regulars here, but I like to use "this is how it works in our world" and transpose it to...
Jeff, I can try and put something together, however, that will take some deep research, and probably requires some discussion/peer review (unless done as a...
... "Potentially of use" is an interesting phrase. Anyone can use anything in their games, that's sort of a prerequisite of YGWV. Certainly anyone can use...
IN THE MOUNTAINS! [Sorry, it's (a) an overdone meme; (b) none of you, except maybe Jeff K. if he follows this list, will probably get it; and (c) our guild's...
... Ooh, nice! Not that we need a RL model for the magical mountains, but it's interesting that one that people thought had gods living on it is only 9,500...
... rather Glorantha loosened its tie and went crazy, instead of enfranchising mundanity. I doubt it will happen, but I can hope. When Greg and I wrote the...
... Well Jar-Eel comes from the Imperial Heartlands. I'm not sure where Harrak comes from but I don't think it is Sartar. Androgeus is described as existing...
... General, for information. "The geography of Dragon Pass is not mundane. The land is overshadowed by awesome Kero Fin, a narrow needle of a mountain more...
... Sure. Absolutely. But, but, but, unless you want your players totally alienated, what you're describing is *why* the place is more or less Earth-normal...
... A little vague, I know. Basically if I know for certain that something clashes with something that's already out there and in use, then it's got a pretty...
2009/9/8 John Hughes <john.hughes@...> ... Who let you in? I thought you were off sulking and "polishing your sword" again? :) -- John Machin "Nothing...
