You might also be interested in Dorastor (sp?), a RuneQuest book in which you get to play Orlanthi far to the northwest of Dragon Pass, emigrating away from the Lunars, to the very area where Gbaji the Deceiver (a primo chaotic bad guy) ruled and died at Arkat's hands, er, paws, er, whatever. It has rules for doing many of the mundane things that Orlanthi do when they are not summoning the big winds to blow away the Broos.

Jeff, you left out "gaming while drinking," "singing while drinking," "talking while drinking," "drinking while drinking" (a heroic feat if ever there was one), and "carrying on while drinking". Jeez, get your act together!
