Are we not roleplayers?

Where are the Gloranthan bits? Just for a beginning...

HEORTLING: You receive two cows on initiation. You are gifted five more. You steal seven more. At this point you don't know the numbers, but you can name every one of them. As you build your name, your herd increases, despite bridegifting, gift repayment, raiders and chaos. You become a prosperous cottar. The Lunar tax collector visits. You have two cows.

STICKPICKER: 'He has two cows!?'

YOUR COUSIN IS A FINOVAN: You have no cows ...

PRAXIAN: You steal two cows.

UROXI: You have two cows, and one of them is looking mighty sexy ...

Vale, Arthur C. Clarke. 2001 changed my life ...
