OK. As I said, I am beginning a game with my group in Glorantha. I am aiming at using a fusion of the things I like in RQII and HQ - it is beginning to take...
One of the things I love about Glorantha is the richness of the various magic systems and world views. I also loved the list of diseases in RQII that helps...

It wasn't a typo. I was thinking that defensive magic was more effective against foreign magic and stuff to detect or dispel foreign magic would be less...

Lawrence Whitaker and myself will be hosting an old school fabuluous discussion about Glorantha - Second Age, Third Age, Pavis, Esrolia, Dara Happa, weird...

Good point - I had been concentrating so much on the RQ I had missed this essential point which comes out more strongly in HQ. This brings things back round to...
