Glorantha was such a well thought out world in which to game - Sartar based on Anglo-Saxons, the Greco-hoplite Sun Worshippers, the Tribes of Prax based on Native Americans (spent forever trying to convert Bison, Zebra, Llama, Sable & Ostrich riders!!), Broo, Trolls (my favourites) and the strangest of all Morocanth! Let's not forget the City of Pavis and the ultimate Bad Guys - the Lunar Empire!<br /><br />Your article has brought back so many great memories.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08320739494531803788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3298356674700006690.post-34166241276167907222015-09-10T11:10:03.673+01:002015-09-10T11:10:03.673+01:00Although I had the RQ box set, I could never get p...Although I had the RQ box set, I could never get past the anthropomorthic ducks, and so never really got into it.

I've only gotten a taste of Glorantha in the past year or so, playing the very wacky computer game King of Dragon Pass (it's an old and resurrected game, available at Good Old Games): what a fascinating roleplaying setting, even with the sentient ducks. If I'm not mistaken, Glorantha was first invented by a Canadian. (It's a CANFACT).matthewjksullivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08126108200355039621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3298356674700006690.post-63201723694017007042015-09-09T17:08:48.435+01:002015-09-09T17:08:48.435+01:00I've only ever played Runequest once, but I li...I've only ever played Runequest once, but I liked it. The game mechanic's are excellent, the creature's are really cool.... Broo anyone? I'd be interested to get hold of a ruleset just for a read through.<br /><br />I got me one of those D100 die, but it only got used a couple of times. Having to roll it on a perfectly flat surface, waiting for what felt like forever for it to stop rolling & having to look very closely to see what number you had rolled relegated this oddity to the die pile....never to be rolled in anger again.<br /><br />I like those Walktapus (Cthulhu) monster's. They'd be an interesting element to have in a game.<br /><br />With respect to the duck men, I don't know why they thought it would be a good idea to try and include them in a game. Even if you thought you could make them really kick arse characters in the rule's, who would want to "seriously" play a Donald Duck character?

Although we played AD&D, but ported a lot of Runequest from WD into the games.<br /><br />I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that if not for Greg Staffords Glorantha and Gary Gygax's D&D there would have been no Warhammer.Zhu Bajieehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13945636483237344750noreply@blogger.com
