Mention the bounty on Ducks after Starbrow's rebellion. The PCs could be duck-hunters

GS has his own take on the extant Gloranthan material. While he is the most prolific of all Gloranthan scholars, this does not necessarily make him infallible. I have already mentioned his misunderstanding that led to his constant use of "Starbrow" rather than "Firehair" some years back.

Nah, I'm objecting to people objecting to me daring not to toe the Party Line and be a good little apparatchik.

What principled action? I'm grumbling in the time-honored and ancient tradition of grumpy old gamers. RQ3 may have been the earliest version I ever owned, but I was familiar with RQ and Glorantha when CoP could still be bought new.

Rubbishing? Are you saying that Chaosium, oops Wizards Attic, oops Issaries Inc, rubbishes campaigns (rubbishing, that sounds so very quaint and baroque) when they come out with stuff like Elmal, Vinga, etc?

Of course, they're quite barking mad. You should see the absolute bizarre nonsense that those northerners keep bringing down with them. One could barely recognize their "Orlanth" at times.
Let us consider that in our own world, executions were held over whether or not to cross oneself with two or three fingers in Russia...
