Well, Widow's Tale is a pretty good read, but is set in a Glorantha far, far
removed from the one I am used to. Would I recommend reading it? Yes. Would I
recommend buying it? Not really, unless you are a die-hard Gloranthan fan.

As for the Complete Griselda, all the Griselda stories are well-written and
interesting, although they do read as though they are campaign write-ups,
which they aparently aren't, funnily enough. They can be used as ideas for
campaigns, for scenarios and for getting some flavour of Pavis and Big
Rubble. Speaking personally, I've never had much time for Griselda as she
wouldn't have lasted long in any campaign of mine, so I've not been that
interested in her. Would I recommend reading Complete Griselda? Yes. Would I
recommend buying it? Yes.

See Ya

Simon
