Hi all--
Kudos to all on the great 'colour' special. In terms of use and personal interest, I would put it in the top 3 issues.
The timing of Granite Phalanx was particularly good since my players are just in the process of establishing a Lunar colony along the Elf Sea and will be recruiting good lunar veterans to help it along. I can picture the Granite Phalanx veterans arriving now. Of course, that raised one immediate question--do retirees retain any access to their rune magic or are they considered totally cut off from this once they leave the regiment?
I noted that Devin has already run Queen Ozcag's Hall and asks about the Bloggom Marshes. Given that the Gates of Dusk can be heard nearby, I would assume these marshes are somewhere in the midst of Luathela (shown only on the old RQ 2 world map) and thus well north-west of Slon (more or less straight west from Magasta's Pool/Jrustela). Perhaps the marshes are along one of the coasts (purple salt water?) and kind turtle gods or Yggs Island raiders can rescue them (or the Luatha take them on board one of their nice purple ships?). Or since the Bloodbirds noted in the Puzzle Canal in the Big Rubble pack are supposed to be from the west, maybe your characters can encounter a nice 'friendly' flock?
Both Warhamster and Runepower were worthwhile additions. I think I'll find the mass battle rules quite useful.
Harald
