Glad to share our RPG fun.

An old RQ2 publication. It can probably only be found on eBay or someplace like that but you never know what you'll find in an out of the way gaming store.

Actually (rather immodestly) it can be seen on my KODP website at :
http://www.geocities.com/bernuetz/kodp/treasure.html <http://www.geocities.com/bernuetz/kodp/treasure.html>
Someone used to have a list by function (linked to from Bryan Maloney's site) but the link's broken.

Seconded.
> Dragonnewt armor? don't they have their own skin? do they wear armor?
Actually they do but the armour in question here is that made from their skin. Unfortunately unlike most things killed to make armour dragonewts come back looking for you so a suit of armour is good for testing your combat skills. Dragonewts cannot go to the next stage in their existence without their hides intact as it were. It was superior leather padding I think and was better the higher the level of dragonewt it was. Inhuman King was the best but probably not worth it in the short term, never mind the long term:->
According to RQ3 they're supposed to have some sort of skill by which they can added dragon bone armour to their natural hides. I believe that this skill practised impedes their spiritual development as well. These bone shards would probably make good lamellar as well.

I suspect that all of Glorantha is littered with the remains of past ages whether human or not.
