Sure! Otherwise Loko Moko would'a screwed things up for good back there. (Am I the only one who thinks Lokamayadon's nickname makes him sound like a villain from the Powerpuff Girls?)

"There's always another way." I thought that's why Greg never writes down the same quest the same way twice...

Here, here! Too much empasis on the feats and powers that can be gained through HQ, like they were stocking stuffers at Christmas; few remember what Christmas actually represents. Does no one see that this is the hubris that brought down the God Learners? And will spell doom for the Lunars?

What's more, he gets the same benefits as Barntar: Crops to Feed the Family 5W and All Is Well with The World 1W.

I'd buy a book that had a section on regional variations of the LBQ, short, three mediums and a full (different from what was already published), and a section on mechanical descriptions of all the myths from the first section, and a small section on Examples of Play and (more importantly) Design.
