> Can someone tell me which supplement had the RQ2 Yelorna write up?
James Turner asks:
Big Rubble.
Just printed, in Book of Drastic Resolutions (Volume Prax), released
last weekend at RQCon Victoria. I've now had a chance to review this
product, and think it contains *essential* material for campaigns set
in Prax: given the volume and quality of the contents, you really
can't afford to be without this supplement.
Drastic Resolutions Volume Prax is 100 pages (plus cover), and has a
cover price of USD 13.00. Contact Stephen Martin <juno@ilium.com> for
ordering and availability information. This book will be available
from the Megacorp in due course, and I imagine our distributors will
announce local prices when they're ready to take orders.

No rubber swords lash out in our freeforms, which are of a somewhat
literary, character/plot-driven bent. Characters are all written for
you, so nobody arrives playing a Mistress Troll Illuminated Death
Lord of Vivamort, unless that's what the authors had in mind. (I've
sent Trent some of my posts from last summer about our approach to
freeforms, so he should have plenty to chew upon...)

If anyone does worship Time, it's likely to be the Lunars. They claim
their Goddess has a "special relationship" with Time, there's a great
Monument to Time in Glamour (which we now know looks something like
the Eiffel Tower, from Juili Anne Hudson's panoramic view of Glamour
on the back cover of the "Rough Guide"), and they have a body of mages
known as Chronomancers. Possibly they're only doing this to freak out
the barbarians, though... :-)

Sun Domer Transvestites, again. Cultic prohibitions are there to stop
you doing things that, left to yourself and your own base (human or
trollish) nature, you'd probably do and/or *enjoy* doing!
(munch, munch) "Didn't look like a Kyger Litor follower to me. Didn't
even make the Greeting sign right. OK, so I took off his head from
behind with a Multimissiled slingstone at a hundred paces before he
ever saw me, but I'm sure he was a wild troll, not one of Uz..."

Re: Moons, Months and Menses
Many moons ago, I asked Greg about menstrual cycles in Glorantha.
If I remember correctly, he said that the four-week menstrual cycle
was an Earth cycle, not a Lunar one. His opinion may have changed,
as usual.
