It is just when you try to cover an entire, very detailed, world in one small set of books, you don't cover anything particularly well or detailed.
That's true. If you get a chance to look at the pre-finished works or any of the Tales of the reaching Moon issues that featured specials on the West, Pamaltela, etc you'd see that there is an awful lot more to them than the 'kind of like medieval Europe' and 'kind of like Africa' short descriptions that have appeared in the main, commercialy published works. There's a ton of orriginal material hidden away in inaccessible fan publications bursting with adventure oportunities.
This is what realy excites me about MRQ - Mongoose's proven ability to realy flesh out a setting and turn it into gameable material that reaches the shelves in game shops.

I not so sold on the idea. GLorathan was interesting becuase of the concepts Greg put into it. With other people flehsing it out, it just turns into another setting. The fireball type magic in the illustration just doesn't look like Glorantha to me. I hope we don't loose the flavor of GLorantha in a bid to draw in D&D players.
