'Tis absolutely disgraceful that topics such as this should be forced to OHQ in fear of the blind prejudices of some of our Tribe (he attempts to say with a straight face). Really, I don't know. We'll be banishing Grotarons here next.

[I'm actually plotting out a Grotaron homeland spread at the mo...]

There was a very brief hobnob on this over on HQ-RPG a wee bit back, Paul. I think the general trend was that if you were using pseudo-  Dragon Pass durulz, the cultural archetypes presented in the Heortling homeland were rather applicable. Of course a few changes might suggest themselves, but in general...

This was my response, and Guy also chipped in far more coherently:

It also depends on how light-hearted you want it; a lot of things have been very fun convention faire. There are John Hughes' vewy sewious cults here!

Personally, I've been playing with a few durulz herobands and homelands recently, but not really touched on the Dragon Pass durulz. Give me a shout if you're interested: I have keywords for volcanoworshipping  Caladran ducks and Pamaltelan cannibal pygmy ducks, and a few things for fanatical Arkati moudjahideen ducks ("a cross between the Viet Minh and the Village People")... but nowt 'normal'. Despite appearances to the contrary, these are also moderately serious.

Hopefully, of course, Unspoken Word DUCKS! will get off the ground, and force us all to take matters seriously.

Best,

Stu.
