I just bought the hardbound MRQ2 rules, I'm very pleased. I am especially liking how Common magic works, the new rules for the 3 Staffordian modes of Gloranthan magic, and the cleaned up character creation and skills systems from when I was last involved in BRP style games. It almost seems as if the best of the stuff from Hero Wars has been translated into some BRP Mongoose sweetness. Great work, Mongoose!
Now, I understand that Mongoose will be supporting their 2nd Age line, which is fine, although I would be thrilled if they supported 3rd Age Glorantha. However, what would experienced MRQ fans recommend in terms of products that would save me time in creating my own 3rd Age material? The worship of Orlanth, for example, seems more or less the same, as do the other Storm Tribe cults. I would assume that various Sorcery schools/Grimoires that survive from the 2nd Age would be easily usable in the 3rd, changing details of the school for current circumstance. I just want to buy the right books so I don't have to recreate for MRQ2 versions of the Storm Tribe/Lightbringers or the cult of Kyger Litor I'll be too busy detailing the exhaustive Lunar religions, for example.
Any recommendations?
