Thanks to all who answered on the Open Seas Ritual. I used the ideas in my first proper Hero Wars session on Friday evening.

I must say I enjoyed the experience immensely. Not having to prepare reams of NPC stats in advance was a real weight off my shoulders as ref. The players (all but one with some Gloranthan experience but all new to HW) really got into character as dwarfs and even prompted the use of an extended contest to resolve a debate as to the proper usage of work units for a particular task.

I've decided to start each session with a short narrative piece to set the scene and get everyone in the mood. I'll post the first here shortly.
