In anycase, I prefer to read discussions about the nature of Time and heroquesting, than say, another unofficial, huge cult writeup for some minor diety. But I consider the flaws of RQ3 to be due to a *lack* of rules lawyers, not a product of their pernicious influence. My gaming group and I spent a couple hours driving mack trucks thru the RQ3 rules, on first reading... But I do agree that current RQ products show an unfair Orlanthi bias.

If anyone wants to embarass me at RQ-Con, ask for my top tips for a Yelmalion dinner-party menu... Looks like Gaumata can keep his job for a while yet. I'm off to stare penitently at the sun (should be safe for a few hours yet: Australia's starting to get in the way). On the Yara Aranis cavalry/infantry question: maybe she's the patron of "combined arms" dragoon tactics -- dismounted cavalry / mounted infantry. We know these are a Lunar speciality, and it's easy to see how they'd be useful against the Pent nomads: mobility to get them where they're needed, and stability to withstand whatever the enemy can throw against them. ==== Nick ==== --------------------- From: henkl@yelm (Henk Langeveld - Sun Nederland) Subject: Greg Stafford: Yara Aranis Message-ID: <9312210124.AA03158@yelm.Holland.Sun.COM> Date: 21 Dec 93 03:24:55 GMT X-RQ-ID: 2689 >From Greg Stafford, in reply to Paul Honigman: Please pass on my congratulations and encouragement to the guy who wrote the Yara Aranis stuff. Most of it was quite Right On. I thought that I had published the fact that Yara Aranis' special power against the nomads is that she can Scare Horses. Her mother was the Eater of Horses of the Praxian pantheon, made pregnant by the Red Emperor. Also, his Yelmalio was great. I enjoyed reading it. The material is in no way compromised by KoS. It could be a "Right Thinking" test. Nuf now. - g ---------------------
