So similar to KoDP punishing you if you didn't behave like a good Orlanthi I assume this wants you to act like a good Rider?

This is probably pointless but:

This is smart because Blazing Goats need fire THEN goats.

So the clan known for raiding to live is raiding to live. But they're taking poo poo from a clan known for being poor.

Let's Ritual because our ring says we should, but let it be known clearly this is nature taking its course.

TGG posted:

Actually gently caress it, I should lay out Dragon categories. The "Dragons" the average person can usually interact with are Dragonewts, "mannish" kinda lizard people who engage in some sorta insane quasi draconic buddhist regeneration poo poo. Past that there are a bunch of broken dragons, including most dinosaurs/wyrms/magisaurs/wyverns who are just broken Dragonewts. Dragonewts have several stages of reincarnation, going from Crested, Beaked, Tailed, Full Priest and super rarely Inhuman King. Before changing forms they need to commit ritual suicide after having no connections to the mortal world. The goal of this reincarnation is to eventually reach proper Dragon status.

When it comes to proper Dragons they also have a few forms. There are Mythic Dragons, who are more or less ideas or thoughts more than beings. True Dragons are the lesser stage of them and they are usually large mountains or basins that just happen to be enormous sleeping dragons. They are about as strong as a being outside the Godtime can be and they certainly could always be in the Godtime "because Dragons". Below True Dragons are what True Dragons dream, which manifest as Dream Dragons. Most traditional seeming Dragons that people run across in Glorantha are Dream Dragons and they are powerful beings formed purely from the Dream Stuff of True Dragons. If True Dragons start popping up, poo poo is really going down as they can't really be fought and can barely even be conceived of by the average Gloranthan. If anyone has played Guild Wars 2, the Elder Dragons in there are kinda close to what a True Dragon should be, only True Dragons can't understand the concept of Death unless they want to and they can always remember later that Death is just an idea and pop back up.

Where do the dinosaur people come into it? Like that dinosaur guy in KoDP who asks the clan what we value the most?

Also I'm sure we covered this before but is RLTW set before the EWF and/or Godlearners?

I'm just assuming that the planned sequels to RLTW are going to advance roughly one age at a till till we have an anthology covering each meta-step forward in time till we catch up to the current table top setting.

Also my secret hope is one is revealed to not be entirely new content but a remake of KoDP with updated mechanics and poo poo.

Yelmalio can piss off. He doesn't let women join his cult, they ally with the worst people and he doesn't give out cool fire magic. His big myth is about getting owned by cooler gods and then being really proud he doesn't have sex. All he does that's any good is teach people to use pikes and shields at the same time. If you aren't a Balazaring where he's buddies with dogs and the alternative is worshipping the spirit of a rock or some bullshit, don't bother and stick with Lodril.

Please use english?

Lodril is the peasant god of the solar pantheon, and Yelm's brother. He's the patron god of men who work the land, as opposed to Yelm who is the god of men who live in the city. Among many other things, Lodril is the god of loosening up a little, and he is both crude and powerful -- he teaches men how to use the long and short spear, and is the god of heat without light and gaining mastery over the Earth through honest toil.

A Lodrili hero is strong, hardy, reliable, easygoing, and can skewer 10 people at a time with two spears that are on fire before wrestling all their friends into submission. He is also probably a part of the Brotherhood of the Invisible Spear, who teach each other esoteric spear-fighting techniques while masked to hide their identities from jealous overlords.

The aristocracy always look down on the lodrili, which is a mistake. He is the Volcano God, and many tyrants have fallen to the spears of the enraged peasantry.

Sounds like my kind of god :ussr:

Yeah. Dwarves are "you invented that crossbow yourself? We don't think you should have it, so we'll sabotage all the ones you sold already, destroy all the plans, and murder you and your family."
Mostali are "this continent is in the wrong location, and moving it will mean destroying your city and killing most of the occupants, but frankly you're all an unplanned infestation and by rights we should be making sure that all of you are dead. We just don't think it's worth the effort right now."

If they'd talk to you at all, which they probably wouldn't. If the Godlearners are based on early RPG power gamers, the Mostali are based on early computer programmers/designers.

drat, now I'm picturing the Mostali gathering together to hear their leader explain how they will finally fix the World Machine, and he comes out looking like a short Steve Jobs to introduce the iGlorantha plan...

"And this Mostali.... This guy fucks!"

Haifisch posted:

Also, Mostali are immortal as long as they follow Mostal's ways. The only reason some heresies like "trading with outsiders is okay"(also known as Openhandism) and "you should be able to choose your own role in life"(also known as Individualism) are begrudgingly tolerated is because their followers are still immortal.

Iirc the KoPD dwarves are Openhandists which is why they're vaguely friendly towards the players: they think you have poo poo they can use to repair the world and are willing to trade their stuff for it. This is also why they vaguely suffer your presence in their lands and don't instantly murder you. They are also odd because they accept other non dwarf races into their culture and teach them to be Mostali.

Also they eat people. Most dwarves eat people though. Soylent green in a can.
