[RuneQuest][Saturday 4pm GMT] Glorantha Uz - A Place of Greater Darkness

<a href="https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/63493/glorantha" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/63493/glorantha</a>... You watched as your warriors marched to war. You watched as the scattered remnants of your force returned. You watched as legions stormed through Dagori Inkarth. You watched as the Castle of Lead was broken and set aflame. You watched the great dark smoke clouds rise into the sky. And now you run. You are trolls. You are Uz. You are a people cursed by fate. And you are used to it. You were left behind when your people marched to fight against the Lunar Empire. You are the leaders of a small band of trolls and trollkin, guided by a mistress race troll carried in a darkened palanquin. She has whispered of a place in Balazar far away, a new place to found an uz kingdom and the possibility of a new Wonderhome. All you have to do is get there. == Setting == Glorantha is a sort-of Mythic Fantasy sort-of Bronze Age setting where all myths are real and everyone is a wizard. The Uz are the trolls of Glorantha. They fought against Chaos in the long ago and whilst they (sort of) won they came out much worse for it than pretty much anyone else in the setting. Unlike other settings, they are arguably not evil (at least to them, eating humans is completely fine, just like going into a uz den and slaughtering trolls by the dozens is fine to a lot of humans) and have a very interesting concept of morality. I am a big fan of Your Glorantha May Vary and this is definitely the case here. It is the Third Age of Glorantha and the uz of Dagori Inkarth have marched to war against a strong and united Lunar Empire and have been subsequently struck down by it. The Lunar Empire, in a show of force, has came and brought fire, light and pain into uz lands, setting fires to melt one of the greatest monuments of uzkind. The concept of this is exiled uz trying to find a new home and land to live in, lead by a mistress race troll. == System == Glorantha is traditionally either played in RuneQuest or HeroQuest. RuneQuest is the more simulationist system whereas HeroQuest is more narrative. RuneQuest uses percentile dice and skills (no character classes!) to play, HeroQuest does not. We will be using Mongoose RuneQuest 2 (MRQ2) as the primary system. It seems to be the simplest and easiest to integrate into Glorantha with a LOT of information for possible use. == Other Info == We're running text-based simply because it's the easiest thing for me to do. I can do it at pretty much any time or place, instead of having to struggle with getting a microphone set up and having people question my sanity. The time and day isn't set in stone, but this is definitely a weekly thing. If you don't warn me you're not gonna be there for two weeks, I will probably kick you from the game.
Bump!
