If I recall the title "Bloody Jeff" sadly is not a veiled reference to an irately overworked attorney, but to MOB's most beloved political figure in the state of Victoria.

I have always envisioned Glorantha having Wombats, or more precisely, a "mighty" Wombat. I even vaguely recall a paeon to the mighty Wombat from some hazy past celebration somewhere.....
