Jenx posted:Which is fair assessment, since they are not vikings in the least. Well, they kind of look like ones in KoDP, but this is case of Your Glorantha Will Vary. Yeah, they really look a lot more like anglo-saxons then out and out scandanavians in KODP, don't they? In glorantha proper though, they are supposed to have a lot more etruscan, Mycenaean greek and early vedic indian influences in their style. Gridlocked posted:They look like Celts to me. Some of their armor is stuff from bronze age Persia? They do not look like celts. In KODP anyway. Well, except for a bunch of wierdoes we may or may not see later on. You'll see them and the difference is immediate and noticeable.

Orlanthi are a glorious mix of of viking, celt, Scythian and a couple other ancient cultures tossed together then blended til smooth. And whatever we do, be sure to appease Eurmal at all times. He's the best god.

NewMars posted:In glorantha proper though, they are supposed to have a lot more etruscan, Mycenaean greek and early vedic indian influences in their style. Yeah they are etruscans or Mycenaean greeks mixed with hindu influences, some Hettite for good measure and some random weirdness that doesn't fit into any of these. In general Gloranthan cultures are their own thing, so drawing too broad a parallels between them and ancient cultures in our world is kind of reductionist. As for that event - are you talking about The Most Poorly Thought Out Expedition Ever, where a bunch of Ralians just show up out of the nowhere, having only barely a clue as to where they're supposed to be going? Because I love that event!

But the fact that that information exists at all is a big part of what makes kodp so rich and also what makes these LP threads so much fun.

Tales tell of the House of Wu, a short-lived clan who dug too deepily, dug too greedily, and paid the ultimate price for their hubris... Fortunately we are not those sorry folk, we are quote:Clan Australi And we're here to gently caress poo poo up! Just not the ducks. Jesus christ not the ducks Here's our clan history. Results of the voting are above.  Welcome back to the stage of history! In the effort of getting the ball rolling again as quick as possible, I'll be blitzing my way through these first few screens.   Point assignment is a pretty standard affair. We won't be doing anything crazy our first year out.  Wait..   No it can't be...   THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE...   Guess who's back. Back again. Shady's back. Tell a friend.He's even named Harran again...  *sigh* I didn't even get a turn in...  First order of business. Reorganise the Clan Ring. Say hello to our new Board of Directors!  You thought I was joking about Harran didn't you? Here are our other potential candidates for future reference/booing Infinitum for choosing poorly  Cool. Anything interesting to say lads before we get down to it? We have the finest-looking young women of any clan.I just wanted one post Harran... that's all I'm asking Let's take stock of our clan then.  Nothing worth mentioning on the population side of things. We'll be bulking those Weaponthanes up in a moment.  Here's our farming situation optimised. Next up. What's the situation in the Pass looking like?  (N) = Neighbour Alliances - Rangdani Feuds - Blackrock (Hidden under Whitehorse), Osgosi (N) Favours Due - Eagle (N), Greydog (N), Heran, Old Owl, Orladnast, Stag Hearth, White Horse (N), Wolf (N) Favours we owe Badger, Enhyli, Hillhaven, Jenestni, Woodpecker (N), Zethnoring (N) Trading Partners - Greydog (N), Hillhaven Tribes - Colymar Treasures - Blacktail the Bull Not bad, not bad. Quite a few favours we owe this time. Having a neighbour as a trading partner is probably going to be super useful. Again, this isn't too shabby at all. Cool. That's the information out of the way. Let's get down to business.  BAM. Recruited some weaponthanes.  BAM. Found some gemstones.  Rangoron, a fine young weaponthane of your clan, wishes to marry Ostlana of the Undaroli Clan. Ostlana's mother, Veoslina, has been given permission by her clan to dispose of any marriage suits. She wants Rangoron to steal the magical plow of the Blue Spruces and give it to the Undaroli.  If we refuse Rangoron, we risk dissension in the ranks. If Rangoron steals the plow, we risk a feud with the Blue Spruces"Gods I'm so pretty. If only I had a mirror"  The Blue Spruces will not take kindly to the theft of their greatest treasure. (5) If the Blue Spruces cannot protect their greatest treasure, they don't deserve to keep it. (1,3) The plow will be well-guarded. Alone, Rangoron has less than half a chance of success. (3) The Undaroli are prosperous; the marriage would be advantageous. (1,2,3) What a great and romantic tale this shall make! (3)Hey honey, remember that time I stole a plough so I could plough you? Good times.  The Blue Spruces are well-known for their fertility magic. We should curry their favour. (4)And we're off! What say you Australi?  - Allow Rangoron to try to steal the plow. - Ask Ostlana's ring to reconsider the terms of marriage. - Help Rangoron steal the plow. - Warn the Blue Spruces that the Underoli covet their plow. - "Rangoron, you must not court the daughter of a treacherous person" quote:

Chic Trombone posted:Harran just refuses to die. No ducks gonna get that man down IMO Harran literally refused to die. Like, he mooned Humakt and said "no way, man". The only reason he's still sticking around is we don't have a Humakti on our ring to point out that Harran seems rather pale and smells bad even for an Eurmali. Also, listen to Korlmar, he has excellent combat and knows we should help Rangoron steal the plow.

Australi culture is all about helping your mates out. And there's no finer tradition than helping your mates get laid.Meta-Mollusk posted:Let's help Rangoron steal the plow! I'm sure nothing will go wrong. We sent 2 Weaponthanes off with him.   +Warrior Morale Oh well. Least we didn't kill any Weaponthanes... and they seem happy about it regardless. And hey back-to-back events.   Sartar's still kickin about! We can always use an extra weaponthane.Right you are Varsens! My god your lips are lush.. Orlkensor carries himself as a true warrior. The weaponthanes will be offended if he is not treated well. Or, on the other hand, if he is treated better than they. Brandgor is known for his volatile temper.Honestly this is just seems like good advice all around, and for sake of speeding things along we went the obvious choice.  Sorry I'm not terrible at this game anymore   BAM. More exploring. BAM. More weaponthanes. We're at 21 now.   A warrior of Urox from the Blue Spruces appears in a rage, demanding that Orlkensor Bronzebones, the outlaw you took in last season, come out to fight him. "You have besmirched my honour, and must pay with your life," the Uroxi cries. Orlkensor is in your clan hall. He refuses to confront the man. "I have sworn a sacred vow to Ernalda that I will not harm him. And if we fight, on of us will surely die." If we offend the Uroxi, we could have trouble with all of the Storm Bulls in Dragon Pass. (4) As good Orlanthi... well, it's not easy to say what we should do. Whew. For a second there, I thought he was after me. (2)What did you do this time you piece of poo poo? Orlkensor is one of us now. (5) The feud between the Alkana and Red Hay clans began with a personal dispute between two thanes. Neither man is about to waver. All the Storm Bulls in the valley will attack us if this Uroxi is killed! (2)Man this is just a  - Ask Orlkensor why the Uroxi seeks him. - Ask the Uroxi why his honour is besmirched. - Demand that Orlkensor fight the Uroxi. - Suggest that they resolve their differences peacefully. - Use force to drive the Uroxi off quote:

Ask to reconsider terms of marriage While it is fun to see a clan fumble around, Blue Spruces already dislike us. A silly marriage gift is no reason to risk a feud. EDIT: gently caress, first vote and I'm already late. Have them duel, it's not good to piss off Uroxi. Lord Hypnostache fucked around with this message at 20:38 on Aug 6, 2015 |
