This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Bren;978826Not that many actually have flat worlds with sky bowls and non-linear time.

Quote from: Itachi;978832And if you really wanna get rid of the disease plaguing your village you don't go for medicines, oh no, you give a beating in Malia the goddess of disease.

Of course, for that to work you must unite your fellow adventurers and go out in a quest to find the stories related to the myth that allows that. Hmmm, maybe that neighbouring village whose patron deity is a healer knows something about it? We should start there. ;)

Yeah, the similarities with Exalted's Creation are more than superficial;).

Didn't know Exalted worked on a similar logic. That's cool.

It does, and I'm of the opinion that Glorantha has been a major influence for at least some of the writers:).
