Applying Heroquest to other game than Glorantha?

[The King]

Did anyone give a try at heroquest beyond his gaming in Glorantha?
I mean Glorantha made me (re)discover mythology and the approach of religion.

That is understanding this not necessarily as a reenactment of godly acts but also when the mythic joins with reality because one believes in it.

For instance, In Howard's short story, Frost Giant's daughter. Conan enters the mythic realm of the Vanir (which he didn't belong to), to run after the daughter of Ymir, fighting against her brothers (the frost giants) and loosing his path in the snow.
Still at the end he can't take her, but he catch her gown.

Hi,

I have used the Heroquesting image several times in different games, it can be very evocative to use similar techniques to heroquesting for dream sequences in stories, ranging from Chtulhu Dreamlands style games, to all manner of other stories.

Hi,

Yes of course this is a typical Lovecraftian concept of the border between dream and reality (the house of the witch).

(the house of the witch)

It was Dreams in the Witch-House.

Not to be pedantic, of course.

You are right to correct what is wrong, especially for those who want to read the story.
