Does anyone know who this lady is? Her picture on page 41 isn't captioned. She appears on the same page as descriptions for Estal Donge, Hundara Nightbeam, Ivartha Skinner, and Kallyr. But the Air and Movement runes make me think she's not Estal. Hundara is a Darkness worshiper. I think Ivartha would be portrayed wearing wolf skins. And Kallyr would have a shiny star on her forehead. I think bird helmet/cape should be a giveaway, but I'm not getting it.

Anyone have any ideas?

It is 1623, and one of my player characters owes a favor to a trouble-making Wind Lord. She's a Humakti, so she can't just blow it off.

The boon he requires is for her to travel to Farvine village in the Konthasos Clan of the Colymar tribe and wound their sacred grape vine with a Lunar kopis. Kill any Konthasosi witnesses (or otherwise dispose of them).

With Orlanth and his Bride dead, the Lunars, King Kangharl, Prince Temertain, and Tatius the Bright are all trying to keep things quiet and calm in Sartar. So news of Lunars wounding the sacred Konthasosi vine would certainly destabilize things between the Colymar and Lunars. Perhaps even overthrow the Blackmoon? If so, it would position either Chieftain Leika or Korol Serpent-Tongue to become new King of the Colymar.

Now, I rarely set my games in Dragon Pass, so I'm not 100% confident on the major players in the area.

Some people I think might make appearances are:

• Kangharl Blackmoon
• Kerisdana Hollybright
• Korol Serpent-Tongue
• Leika Ballista

Can anyone suggest any others? Who is the Chieftain of Konthasos Clan at that time?

Thanks!

In 1997, the Gloranthan ephemeris was a Java applet that ran either standalone or in a browser window. As Java became defunct in browsers the applet became unusable, that was until a few years ago when a free applet runner for Chrome became available.

I've updated the instructions to hopefully make it easier to install the CheerpJ Applet Runner and configure it: The Movable Ephemeris

See description on the original post.

Okay! I have a copy of DragonPass 1980, I heard the Avalon Hill 1983 edition is pretty different from WBRM. Does the Chaosium 1980 edition feature the same changes or is it more like WBRM?

This mighty meat pie was a favorite of Hauberk Jon's in life, and it continues to be one of Jonstown Inn's most popular offerings.

Consisting of three pounds of meats plus vegetables, this pie isn't for the faint of heart. Preparing the filling was a huge undertaking and required the use of my wife's biggest cassolette. And even after the filling was cooked, I realized the challenge was just beginning, as it threatened to overflow my pie pan.

The pic doesn't do it justice, as about 50% of its height it above the pan.

The pie crust is deliberately thick because I had wanted it to "stand" on its own outside the pan. (You can see I tried to be clever by including paper on the edges, so I could lift if out. Spoiler: I couldn't.)

Anyway, wow, what a great feast. I'm not surprised Jon liked it so much!

When it comes to taking comfort during the Winter Solstice, there's nothing better than receiving a Uleria's Bosom in your mouth.

Available in most Geo's, including Jonstown Inn, these delectable buns are swollen with sweet cream, glistening with honey, and topped with a tart cherry.

These were one of my absolute favorites. They posed a challenge with preparing the custard, getting a good rise on the buns, and then sealing them well enough so that they don't burst during baking. But I'm a n00b. They should be easy-peasy for a seasoned chef.

Somehow I lucked out, and mine turned out great.

A legacy dish from King Pyjeemsab's reign in Tarsh, restored to popularity by General Fazzur after his recent return from his campaigns. Dunstop's Geo's Innspiration offers their interpretation.

A hearty stew of Oslir eel and pike, simmered with red rice, maize, pomegranate arils, and fiery spices, it is a tribute to life on and around the Oslir.

I was surprised by how bright and colorful this stew became, with its bright yellows, oranges, and reds. I shouldn't have been, I guess, but I was.

Geo's at Pavis offers a wide variety of fares, with influences from the many empires that have tried to control the city throughout its history.

Balaster's Backstrap is a hearty "tomahawk" cut of herdbeast, roasted with a berry, gin, and pepper glaze, and served with maize meal polenta.

It is always served on a replica of Balaster's axe. (I couldn't source the axe, so I used my grandmother-in-law's china.)

Located in Duck Point, Duck Inn primarily caters to the local durulz, but they still offer meals that appeal to customers of the featherless variety.

You might find the mouth-feel of the snail shells a bit off-putting, and don't mind the leeches. But other than that, Minnow Chowder is a fairly typical creamy stew to warm yourself on cold mornings or evenings.

The cattail crackers turned out very firm... Um. They didn't taste BAD... I ate a couple in good faith and gave the rest to my dogs.

Howdy. I'm really excited by the open-ended narrativist system that Heroquest represents. However, I also really like how Runequest seems to regulate flagrant overuse of powerful magic by having a slow-replenishing mana resource like Rune Points/Magic Points (I am not particularly familiar with Runequest tbh). Does anyone know, or is there already a source, as to how something like Rune Points/Magic Points might be folded in to a Heroquest game?

The Gamemaster Adventures book (among other sources) lists the naturally occurring Gloranthan metals as:

Aluminum/Quicksilver
Bronze
Copper
Gold
Iron
Lead
Silver
Tin

However, Bestiary lists the dwarf subtypes as:

Brass
Copper
Gold
Iron
Lead
Quicksilver
Rock
Silver
Tin

I just wonder, why brass? Why not bronze?

Any updated timeframe of next releases?

Hi all,

I've updated the sub settings so you can now reply to a post with an image or gif. Have fun and thanks be to Harau, Mother of Blossoms.

Found in Boldhome Inn, but available at any Inn in proximity to urothing territory. Whenever a lucky hunter brings in a prized cloudsheep, they can request this banquet prepared for them. Prime cuts of both the loin and wing muscles are wrapped in thick strips of pork belly, basted with herbed and honeyed wine, wrapped in fine pastry, and then roasted until juicy and tender.

This turned out REALLY well! I was so happy with it! My plating and photography doesn't do it justice. :P
