You should gain sanity for finding out that the problems of a region are because there are fucking monsters there.
You can simply ignore minor stupid crap like ducks in most cases, or trivially edit it out. And yeah, there are a couple of other "funny hah hah" things scattered around. All the ones I can think of are pretty minor and have no real significance.FrankTrollman wrote: Unfortunately, it's really fucking terrible. Glorantha has Donald Duck-style Ducks. Why? I don't fucking know, I think someone thought this was fucking hilarious, but it completely shits on the "serious business" mood that the rest of the world is going for. Also they try to have things be "mythically real" rather than actually real. Which means that physics and shit is supposed to function via symbolic understanding, which basically means that the game world is a literally unending rabbit hole of stupid shit.

Peculiar properties of spacetime ensure that the perception of the magnitude of Soon is fluid and dependent, not on an individual's time-reference, but on spatial and cultural location. A marketer generally perceives Soon as a finite, known, yet unspeakable time-interval; to a fan, the interval appears greater, and may in fact approach the infinite, becoming Never. Once the interval has passed, however, a certain time-lensing effect seems to occur, and the time-interval becomes vanishingly small. We therefore see the strange result that the same fragment of spacetime may be observed, in quick succession, as Soon, Never, and All Too Quickly.

It's because swedes are intensely fascinated by Donald Duck, Duck Tales, and Scrooge McDuck.FrankTrollman wrote: Unfortunately, it's really fucking terrible. Glorantha has Donald Duck-style Ducks.

Seriously, Donald Duck (Kalle Anka) gets more votes in every Swedish election than like half the parties. Consistently. Every single time. Voting isn't even compulsory there, so it's not like here where you rock up to avoid the small fine and just draw a penis on the ballot paper, they decide they really want to go and vote for Donald Duck. Jesus gets a tiny handful of votes, about as many as Robin Hood. Next is Hitler, more popular than either. Batman gets more than all of those combined, but seriously, Donald Duck is the big one. If a party could actually get Donald Duck on board (which would be difficult to say the least), they would win the elections for ever.OgreBattle wrote:It's because swedes are intensely fascinated by Donald Duck, Duck Tales, and Scrooge McDuck.
