Cgen House Rules
Cultural (etc) weapons
Where a cultural weapon gives a bonus which does not match a skill, choices must sometimes be made:
Where 'Lance' is listed, use Spear (1H) as stated on the standard character sheet. The bonus applies to the whole skill, not just with lances.
Where 'Battleaxe' is listed, the player must choose Axe (1H) or Axe (2H) as the skill to be raised. The bonus applies to the whole skill, not just with battleaxes.
Combat House Rules
Great Weapons
Great weapons can attack and parry in the same round. They also have the option of forgoing the attack, and having 2 penalty free parries in a round, or of forgoing the parry and having 2 penalty free attacks in a round. The Second attack takes place 5 strike ranks later than the first, or on SR 12, whichever is first.
Critters
Broo
Only female Broo, following Malia will appear. Male Broo may be assumed to exist, but will not appear.
Vampires
Vampiric creatures are slightly different to 'as documented'- they draw blood out through the skin, as a mass of air droplets, rather than by biting. They still need to be close..
House Rules, Training
In addition to certain spirit spells being taught 'cheap' by cults, according to their natures, some attributes will be also, on the following pattern.
House Rule, Passions and the Wiki
those who contribute to the Wiki text can claim 1 experience roll per article per passion per season on a relevant passion (and passion only. No runes, no skills).
For example:
Irillo's player (not the GM) writes a piece praising Issaries, as Bringer of Peace (through mutually beneficial Trade). He gets a tick in 'Devotion(Issaries).'
The same season, Irillo's player writes another piece about how Awesome Issaries is. He doesn't get another tick and the GM mocks him mercilessly.
Sid's player (not the GM, obv) writes a piece on "Aren't Storm Bulls Scary". He gets a roll on 'Fear (Uroxi)'.
Eril's player (still not the GM) writes a piece on Statesmanship and asks for a tick in intrigue. The GM tells him to take a hike.
This IS backdated, so feel free to trawl your previous writings to see if you are due any passion boost rolls.

Eurmal the Vandal Artist.
The cult of EURMAL VANDAL. By Dave Butler, on the Runequest forum, adapted by me.
The shrine-priest maintaining a shrine to the Vandal Is known as “the Flumine.” Devotees of the Artist recognize each other by the esoteric nonsense passphrase “Lunaris eunt domus.”
Eurmal Vandal provides the Rune Spells: Trespass and Votive Graffiti (see Spell List)
