[Glorantha] Re: Duck, Centaurs, and Best Valley

[rjmeints at aol.com]

Keith N. wonders about the threat of counter-theories...

"I don't quite follow the logic of the Beast Valley thing. 
The Ducks are pesky and aggressive, either the least or most 
successful of the Zoo's creation - perhaps Delecti's 
last real creation before everything went tits up for 
him - but either way not the same as the other beast 
hybrids. The Aramites are a simialr case of beasty 
hybrid that doesn't live in Beast Valley (IMO)."

That said, my idea would be to get together
a proposal for a "Beast Valley" product and get it
submitted to Moon Design, if it's current timing,
or Mongoose if it's from a Second Age time frame.
 
Otherwise, something else will probably get officially
published and then you can work from that body of
published information to reconcile your Glorantha. 
 
As for me, I lean towards the ducks not being a creation
of Delecti. The aren't a stitched creation, nor are they
something that is a recent creation. Most of the stitched
creations couldn't breed, at least not enough to sustain
their numbers to survive hundreds of years in the wild.
Whether that will see print, only time and effort will tell.
 
NOTE: I am not trying to kill any theories, nor am I
threatening to attempt to do so. I am mostly going
to be guided by the projects people write that I can
then get published.
