Player's Guide to Glorantha opinions

[captrooper]

I've been flicking through my brand new PGG...
It's kind of okay, but there are URRGH moments that I've already house-ruled. For instance rapier being a general Dara Happan/Pelorian skill but not spear (except for peasants)! Err, surely the spear is a cultural weapon for Solar cultures and the rapier not? Sunspear anyone?
Anyone else notice anything else (good or bad)? As I say, only a quick look by me so far.
On the whole it looks cool - but it isn't quite GAG (generally accepted Glorantha - even for the new second age setting). Noticing the Balazaar lame that was in 'Glorantha the Second Age' is there anyting else out there that needs a fix?

I'm not much of a Glorantha player so it's a little meh for me. Seems to be more fluff than crunch at first glance.

Is it out, yet? Wayland's Forge didn't seem to have it on their shelves, but there again I didn't ask them if they had it in.

I picked it up at Orc's Nest on Wednesday, which was I think its supposed street date.

It was there - I got my copy on Friday.
From a first glance it's a bit "rules-y" - I prefered the largely rules-free Glorantha-2nd Age book, but still looks quite interesting.
It's a shame that as an advert for the new Mongoose printing press the cover doesn't seem to hqave been glued on very flat
