Do the Lunars have printing presses? If they do then presumably they do have propaganda. However if Renaissance Europe is any guide printing press=sedition. There was a rather nice article about printing presses for WHFRP a few years ago.

Point taken, same goes for Nick Brooke's welcome display of classical erudition. I still stand by my comments WRT recently conquered areas.

It's also neither here nor there that it worked in England ;-)

Sandy Petersen said that sorcerers do magic by circumventing the Laws of Nature by using their own magical energy. Personally I'd recommend a look at "Magic in the Middle Ages" by Richard Kiekhefer. IMO Malkioni sorcery taps the auras of the true runes in much the same way as RW Astral Magi used the "cosmic emanations" of the stars.
I really liked James Frusetta's troll drugs. Warm salty water?
Presumably this doesn't effect sea trolls, or does it?
