We'll actually be running a full Clan, with the PCs as a Warband, rather than a h/Hero band. My own character, a long-term survivor of many years RQ, will be the Warband Leader, co-Referee Andrew Graham will run another RQ veteran as Clan Chief, and as he and I know more about Glorantha than any of the others, they should take the hint when we suggest a course of action... If not a couple of Gorp or an irate Babs Gor Devotee should convince them :)

Well, the secret is to keep them busy with Clan business :) 'Check out those caves!', 'Find that Shaman!', 'We're being raided!', 'We're off raiding!', 'Chaos hunt!', 'Rubble Runner hunt!', 'Go check out that woodland before we clear it!'. Run a few years of KoDP and you'll soon run them ragged :)
