My recollection as well. The Dharzi had power over beasts and the Melnboneans added that portfolio after their victory. But the Dharzi are a basically blank slate for you to invent as you wish.

Younger Players: "What's a book?"

Noted. DragonCon has a substantial gaming component, although I don't think of it as a "gaming con." I'll see what I can throw together between now and Labor Day! :) What would be helpful is a place to locate cons and experience with getting games on their tracks. Oh, and I'm sure most of...

Not sure that is needed (since MRQ2 just came out) as much as a world-building or generic setting. Or a starter rule set that is given away, per GURPS, linked to the generic setting. I would mention Glorantha as often as Wizards mentioned Greyhawk, although there is no consensus on this. And...

+1. I can totally see the 3.5/Pazio/Pathfinder art (since it's the same thing) being a great draw. Color is important, but I also recall some D&D books where the art was terrible and always counted as a strike against those books (Monstrous Manual in 2E comes to mind). Are we thinking that...

Well, I gather that some believe that old news is the same as effective news, and I'm not aware of any. I am happy to be educated, but I am not hip to what, precisely, has been done to evangelize this game.

And what has been done about it?

+1. You are not a different species called "fighter," which generates physical abilities (hit points) and mental ones (feats) in a way utterly foreign to others. People and monsters obey the same rules. No matter how veteran you may be, you cannot fall 200 feet and walk away from the impact...

My understanding is that is a myth. It is simple enough to walk until a landmark disappears over the horizon. The visible objects in the sky are round. Ancient people did not think the world was flat. Back on point, ducks are a monster/race like any other and can be used or discarded as...

Not really a proper argument, now is it?

No one's saying don't play Glorantha. I love elements of Gloranthan Elves ("Can you bleed on my pancakes?") and insert them into whatever world I make. Elves as plants make total sense. Adopt & Adapt. Agree completely on art. I'd incline more toward color and splash than the Naturalist...

I'm also not a big anime/manga fan, but the tykes are, and the future is always with the young, not coots like me. Options are great; let a million flowers bloom and let people pick the ones they think are prettiest. Back to D&D: Greyhawk may be the base setting, but plenty of people play...

Not hating at all; I have some affection for Glorantha as a setting; sorry for confusion. I was trying to return to the focus of Glorantha generally, rather than the appearance of Trolls or who has the most ridiculous monsters. I'll happily concede that RQ will always need to provide for the...

Really? We're talking tapirs now? Although they are the very heart and soul of Glorantha, I think we may be off topic a bit.

I am always amazed that RQ/BRP/Openquest is outsold by D&D when it is mechanically superior to D&D in virtually every respect. Apple vs. PC, I suppose. But the hard-wire link to Glorantha can't be helping. I think a simple, possibly free basic booklet on "World Building for RQ" would serve...
