Based on the first few comments on my recent piece on Glorantha’s “lore baseline”, I added some clarifications to the article! I hope it helps…
Ramblings of General Geekery
My Dragonbane players finally beat Dead Eyes Cave! One of them was one roll away from death, but the other two made judicious use of their heroic abilities and spells. Getting to the monster’s last 2 HP was quite dramatic!
Quote of the game: “did you blindfold the chicken?”
It’s blackberry season! Go around your neighbourhood and pick a bunch! Remember to taste before taking: some bushes are more sour than others. AFAICT, the more sun exposure (such as south-facing bushes), the sweeter the taste (but I need to look into it properly)
Yay! I have joined the ELITE club of people who say cool stuff like “where did I leave my darn reading glasses?” or “can you get my reading glasses from the table?” or “my knee hurts!” or “what?! speak up!!”
Excited about this new chapter of my life.
Out-of-context Dragonbane session quotes from tonight: “you can’t have a rebound chicken, you need to mourn first”, and “let’s use chicken as AOE attacks!”
Tonight’s Dragonbane dice-rolling went well! Also, my players plan to fight the Dead Eyes Cave’s monster by chugging chicken at it, only looking at the chicken and casting Thunderbolt on each one, so that the bolt bounces onto the monster 😂 Of course I’m not going to allow that 🤣
Yes of course, it’s obviously a “similar ETA” to take little detours at each intersection, as opposed to driving straight… did Google enable GenAI in Maps?
“I love <XYZ> as a TTRPG system because it’s easy to hack!”
Bruh, almost all systems are easy to hack, except the super-specific modern indie games you probably don’t play.
When I don’t make rhubarb pies, I make peach melbas. It’s very commonly found on dessert menu in French restaurants, but pretty much nowhere to be seen in North America so I have to take this matter into my own hands!
The funny thing is that historical inaccuracy IS historically accurate when it comes to the Iliad and the Odyssey, because Homer wrote the thing at least 400 years later, and got a bunch of details wrong about, like, Bronze Age warfare for instance!
