Red Leader, Red Leader, this is Red Eight. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, I say again, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over?

I think Marlycat hangs out with my senile old mother, who recently announced to the family that I am gay and the Missus is a lesbian; we've been married for some 27 years now to hide that from society. I offered to provide her with a list of satisfied girlfriends, and that was the last I heard of that.

Shrug. Some people...

Well, we try. Ask away.

They were, and it does get confusing.

The only reason I suggested a Part II is because over on Dragonsfoot and other forums that has these kind of threads they tend to carry over to a Part II (and III and IV) after a few hundred posts. I am not up on the technical implication of VeLoFTs (Very Long Forum Threads) however I threw the idea out there because that what I seen happen in other places. From what I observe it does seems to rejuvenate the conversation a bit. From a moderator standpoint I am good with whatever you guys and the site administrators want to do in regards to this and similar types of threads. Personally I think it is it great that Chrine is doing this and I hope Part II grows to the point where we need a Part III.

Red Flight, Battleaxe Six; Interrogatory: What are you flyboys on about now? Over.

Call for a little CAS, and look what happens. Betcha the Marines never have this happen...

Thanks. I'm happy with what you and Pundit want to do; I'm a guest here, after all.

Now, the high ride sounds like a good idea...

Heh, your mother's lucky with such a well-mannered son!

Amusingly, "gay guy married to lesbian girl" seems to be one of those things that people used to talk about, but could never point a real example. So, I think they're like ghosts. That means they make for good gaming fodder when used in moderation, but don't count on ever seeing one.

Chirine, maybe it's me who doesn't see it, but is there a culture in the setting where the symbol of the warrior is the spear or halberd, and not the blade?

Any lists of the Bednalljan Kings and Queens. There is a particular one that I find interesting; the last one that went northward from Yan Kor to the other side of the globe. The one who met an ill-fated demise only hinted in the sourcebook. Would you have any insight into the subject?

Thanks,

Yeah there's a ridiculous number of Ssirandars in the Bednalljan and Engsvanyali king lists, but pretty sure the guy you are thinking about was Tarishande XIII, the last emperor of the Tarishande Dynasty, and indeed, of the First Imperium

Agreed; she was trying to cause trouble in the family, and we weren't having any of it.

Yes, up north in Yan Kor - spears, as I recall; I'll look it up for you.

Zirunel many thank yous for pointing me in the right direction...Found it, "...Tarishande XIII is spirited away from Bey Su by his remaining loyal servants. This band of political refugees flee from the pursuing contingent of Ganga soldiers across the Northern Sea beyond the North Pole."

Any idea how he met his end...? Hokun? Or worse?
