Oliver mentioned this for ad copy:
"Forget realms best forgotten, run from the shadows, leave the
"It allows you enter a world unlike any other, where you can
learn the inner mysteries of the gods and venture on
unexplored paths of mythic reality."
This is in the rules? I don't find it.
"Benevolent missionaries, well meaning officials, homesick
soldiers...these are the bad guys? Barbaric warriors, savage
beast riders, dangerous rebels...these are the good guys?"
I hope this heralds the end of Lunar bashing.
This seems to me to be rude to the other guys.
But I instead like
"Walk through a land of myth, armed and armored with the bones
of the gods. Explore the ancient magics of the world of
Glorantha. Probe the forbidden secrets of the God Learners.
Bring the light of the Red Moon and the civilization of the
Lunar Empire to the dark lands of the savage Orlanthi. Save
your people from the decadent Lunar Empire, which embraces the
worship of chaos and seeks to shackle your gods and people."
paul@phyast.pitt.edu insisted
"But cows were used _often_ as a value standard in the Bronze
Age, at least from Ireland to India and down into Africa."
Please cite references, especially compared to a single tool,
weapon, meal, or article of clothing. Compare O. R. Gurney:
_The_Hittites_: The medium of exchange in the Hittite kingdom, and
indeed throughout the Near Eastern world of that time, was silver
(or for small denominations lead) in bars or rings, and measured by
weight...." (p.84).

"Can I make an extremist suggestion here? I feel that a major
goal of the RQ4 effort should be to absolutely minimize the
number of supplements that need to be reissued....
I myself am already annoyed with compatibility issues with SC, RoC,
SotB, and DLoD. The extra step of conversion of the scenarios is a
big p.i.a. to me the referee.
David Cheng suggests, and I agree
Rune Lord should not be a binary checkoff of five skill
percentages. Let's keep the good skill advancement rule, and
rewrite the way we recognize cult RuneMasters.
