In the long term we should definitely bully the Black Rock until they run away and give us a better looking map. But the Ducks? Charge them rent. (50 food)

I think every problem involving mud can be solved with more mud.

Also there's this horrible force of chaos that does terrible things like making Broo who will gently caress your animals to make more Broo, or summoning horrible monsters, or making everyone sick, and the Lunars and the Red Moon are kind of way into chaos but in some weird new way that doesn't make much sense. I'm pretty sure that in the last LP of this game with an Elmali clan, half the ring were secretly chaos cultists.

Glorantha is a really weird setting. There are at least as much horrible implications about things as there are cool neat things. Although that's what comes of creating a setting where most of the superstitions of the past 8,000 years are true.

The Godlearners weren't even the only powergamers in Glorantha, they were just being massive assholes about it. They could've gotten away with a lot more if they had played nice with the other powerful entities in control of the universe. Kind of an in-lore reminder to tabletop players.

Yeah, we'll get riiiight on that. (4) We don't desperately need to cling onto that feud, but it wouldn't hurt to keep it going either. It doesn't really matter for now.

I'm inclined to say keep doing quests. Really see how much we can get away with.

If we send our weaponthanes to go with them, it won't be our fault if they starve to death. Do that.

I think the standard answer is that it's both and neither, because the specifics of Glorantha are meant to be ambiguous and often contradictory, much like the heroquest of Greg Stafford eats his cake and still has it afterwards. Speaking of ambiguity, let the trickster do his tricks, and don't ask no questions about it.

We didn't just become top hep-cat of the tribe just to not throw our weight around. Get some other smelly tribes to do it.

Magic items are so tempting...but acting like dragonfriends would damage our magic...but we could trade it away for so many cows! Keep it.

Make an alliance with another tribe. That way you can arrange a big ol'fancy war with the Torkani later on. And maybe while you're trying to befriend the Ducks, try cozying up with the White Horses to entribe the tribeless.

I like how this quest connects to another one so you lean what Issaries's stupid question was.

I've never really dug the grimdark parts of Glorantha. It goes from myths and magic and adventures to all of a sudden Warhammer 40k without even a hint of irony.

Jenx posted:Have you read many myths lately? poo poo gets hosed up all the time, everywhere. People may die, but usually in relatively small numbers, often the most that will die at once in any one story will be an army, or an entire city. The bulk of humanity only goes in special occasions, and certainly never in horrible meatgrinders that emphasize the meaninglessness of the life of a single common man in a crowd. That's a concept that only really came about with modern population densities. edit: Come to think of it, a lot of Glorantha seems less inspired by mythology and more like a modern gritty reimagining of mythology with some real sci-fi-seeming elements, like the alternate dimension where the gods are, the genuinely alien non-human races, and the explanation for what time is.

How far down does the water go? Because I would assume that the underworld isn't all wet.

Maybe just shoo them away. We're beating up on our enemies so hard right now it's not even funny.
