So apparently you don't know that Ducks have a special affinity for death cults such as Humakt?

I like the ducks in KoDP. They're not especially ridiculous, (well, not all the time), and occasionally save your bacon. YMMV, but to me, Ducks are part and parcel of Glorantha. They save Glorantha from being just another deadly-serious simulated reality (ho-hum), and help make it a more 3-dimensional world.

Duck-lovers, unite! (I've got the orange sauce!)
