I haven't seen a d100 thread in a while
I wonder how that one anon's not!Nausicaa Mythras campaign went

>>97620141
I just bought Rubble and Ruin (the mythras imperative version, not the monograph version), and I definitely want to run that at some point, but I'm deep in Shadowrun and Cyberpunk right now.

>>97620141
I used Grok as a GM for a Call of Cthulhu one-shot. It was fun, but I have a feeling Grok is fudging the rolls because I never failed a single test.

Does anyone know of a good primer for glorantha lore? Everything I can find are either many books or just about dragon pass, even video summaries are either many hours long, just about dragon pass, about the publication history not the lore itself, or five minutes long.
I am looking for a 1 chapter or 30 min overview of the setting as a whole, major players, conflicts, tensions, metaphysics, ect, ignoring the IRL history of its publication.

>>97621869
Nope!

>>97621815
One thing I will warn you about is that the equipment stats given are more for BRO than they are for mythras, so you might have to check to see what is different and what discrepancies there are.

>>97621869
Closest I found is this. There are multiple videos, but they are short. Hard part is that there is a lot of lore to go over.

Just introduced runequest to my wifes younger brother, ran a short oneshot 1on1.
He did pretty well considering he's dyslexic and thirteen, we had fun and he played smart.
The one shot was pretty much improvised, since I mostly play solo

it's been going slower than usual but that's fucking febuary in a nutshell

party did not infarct do much direct fighting with the samonesnake
but did make it throw up it's guts that they than ate

>>97627665
Also after doing some digging from getting some very good rolls they deliberately got eaten by the samonsnake for a greater power up
And the giantess managed to use her psionics (empathics) to mentally manipulate the creature and get it to throw her and the nun up after spending a day in its belly which you can breathe in

>>97629819
Oh man, I love hearing about your game. Please, elaborate on why being swallowed whole by this samonsnake was beneficial.

How hard is it to convert legend to mythras? I heard that some stuff does not transfer over smoothly despite the similarities.

The creature was strange
It’s metabolism defied thermodynamics and it had no need for food
It instead mainly swallowed things out of curiosity but also when it swallowed creatures it exchanged flesh and genetic materials with them before spitting them out again
It also had the capacity to store a lot of unused genes that were inactive in itself but could be exchanged into a creature it swallowed
IE chaos features
The players decided they wanted some and managed to acquire in addition it’s regeneration venomous spikes on the wrist for the gaintess girl and the ability to transmit electrical shocks when injured for the punch nun

One of the PC’s kinda got a crit asking around about it

>>97631690
That's fucking rad. You're my favorite person on this board, and if you blogged up some play reports, I would read them.

It's been discussed before in these threads, and from what I remember from both my experience and other anons', there really isn't.
The wiki is just fucking bulletpoints that aren't helpful at all, some sites that are impossible to navigate and also mainly talk about the publication history(which is still fascinating cool, like 80's and 90's fanzines), and some old dead tumblr blog with some useful stuff in it. I do remember a semi-recent podcast that discusses RQ and Glorantha lore though, and has an extensive website. But I haven't really checked it out.
Maybe it's the boomers running Chaosim being litigious? They probably don't comprehend how people younger than 40 actually get introduced to lore and what makes them want to play in a setting, before buying a big fat lore book.
>>97622000
This looks promising at least

>>97633593
>>97621869
Besides that series, I would also recommend sandy petersen's channel. He has a couple glorantha videos, but they are kind of mixed between lore and telling stories of how it was made. There are also some glorantha video games, but they are generally only covering dragon's pass which is an issue.

Chaosium does get pretty pissy and threatens to sue a lot. i have heard of old lore books and lore pages getting legal threats. It is why it is nearly impossible to find older runequest works now. Its is even why even references to past runequest works are often abbreviated.

>>97633593
The podcast is called the God Learners iirc
it's a blog too with a bunch of stuff in it
>>97633733
Boomers gonna boom boom. Or maybe the rights to everything got fucked up because of the period RQ/Glorantha were both in completely different hands
They should be told about how a lot of people got into things like 40k or Battletech in the past 15 years, or be reminded that their biggest game is inspired by easily accessible books everyone can read before trying CoC

If you want to hit me up either though direct messages or out in the public square
I’m on the mythras discord and have posted about the campaign there a few times
Search for the keyword nausicaa and you should find me

It’s so so as a place and is full of boomers, a lot of people there seem to post snippets of their shitbrew such as even splicing other systems with mythras or the games they are running
Or talk about the intricacies of the system

It’s better than a lot of places but nothing special and still very eh really
I got most of my players from far more personal and weirder freind circles
I only post there intermittently these days and take to posting here more as I feel I’m a tad out of touch with boomers

>>97621832
>but I have a feeling Grok is fudging the rolls
I mean, unless it's actually calling some external tool to run the dice, any "dice rolls" it output is just some text it wrote. There was no actual rolling.
I know that with gemini (via ai studio) you can actually make it execute python code for rolls and maths and such.
So maybe try that I guess.

>>97623136
Do you use Mythras/BRP as your solo system?

What would people recommend as a way to increase health for a more heroic or pulpy mythras game? I was thinking of using destined rules or maybe doubling the size+con ration before determining location HP.

>>97638957
i'm not a fan of doubling HP

one thing i did change that was a little complicated was mitigate damage with a luck point
i also let players generate an extra special effect with luck points

>Heroic mitigate damage
>prevents hp loss at or past zero from a single attack or instantaneous source of injury
>the damage for all other effects intents and purposes is considered to be taken 'such as for triggering wound effects and utilizing special effects'
>"so a seriously wounded location at -4 hp that takes three points of damage would remain fixed at -4 hp and would roll the effects for a serious wound. while a location at 3hp that takes seven points of damage is only reduced to 0hp. lastly a majorly wounded location at -8hp if damaged would relapse into incapacitation and critical injury despite current hp values not lowering"

this has saved my PC's asses several times from shit that would have clipped them

also for heroic pulpy games i let my PC's pick two careers
it helps increase character competence and versatility

>>97634788
Yes, or I use mythras combat eith runewuest nowadays. I haven't found brp/mythras books at my local shop, but found rq and prefer having a book.
It might not be for everyone, but I like it

>>97643093
TDM is kinda too niche to sell at most bookstores but the hardback copy of the mythras core rules is very nice if you can pick it up
I think they still have copies available at TDM’s webstore or on a few other storefronts such as aeon games

>>97631986
Some time when I’m not s bogged down with shit I need to summarise the arc’s the campaign has been through and what happened therein

>>97643354
>>97643093
TDM's website has hardcover or softcover options for all of their books; even some of the stuff not on drivethru is present on their website.

Most of them are are POD, decent quality at least, so you will not really see them in most stores.

>>97640654
Turns out I have been doing this in the past already thinking it was a baseline rule. I must have mixed it up with fate points or some mechanic from something else. I'll probably jsut run it at some point wit this rule and see where it goes from there.

the more I read cults of zahak, the more I am inspired to run a diablo-esque game. Anyone have any other good dark fantasy recommendations?

>>97653040
BLG seems to have a niche that they are good at
probably because they are masochistic abrihamics dealing with a lot of christian guilt and boy some of that seems to make compelling if somewhat edgy horror with writing what you know

>Does anyone know of a good primer for glorantha lore?
>>97622000
Hard part is that there is a lot of lore to go over.

As a hobby I make you tube videos. Very small channel channel, I treat the videos as a creative outlet for me since i fell in love with video editing. Mostly it's me doing a video on something that i personally want to talk about and playing around with different formats. I actively go out of my way not to watch any videos about X subject until i finish mine. Since doing so might effect how I make or what i put into my video and in thus pollute my creative expression in my autism brain. But still i see this as a rare opportunity for some pre-release feed back.

All that being said I've been working on an video that is something of Gloranthian lore primer meant fore people who are new to it, I have been working on it for well over a year now. The current plan is: brief introduction, followed by a summary of the conception of the world, through the God's War up until the the birth of Time. Then a overview of the First Age, the different Unity Coucil's and of course Arkat and Gbaji/Nysalor. Then an overview of the Second with the God Learners and EWF and the Dragonkill War and the Closing of the Seas. Then an overview of the Third Age, mainly the origin/history of Dragon Pass, the Lunar Empire and Esorlia. The second to last part is setting up the geopolitical landscape of Sartar up until the Dragonrise. Since lore/historical events that happen after the arrival of Argrath quickly becomes contradictory bullet point gibberish and the Dragonrise is where the current edition is set. Lastly a brief outro f me gushing about my love of Glorantha. The video is projected to come in at around 2 hours I want to have a map that shows the locations and changing borders of the different countries throughout Gloranthian history as I feel that will help new people better understand all the proper nouns that get thrown around.. Thoughts? Suggestions?
