[Rq-rules] re: after the end

[Viking Jarl]

The only time I’ve played in a Gloranthan setting was in the playtesting
sessions with Steve & Greg in the original versions. Greg could always be
rather a pompous a$$ when he felt put upon or criticized in any way. Steve
Perrin was always mellow in my experience. I still use the game to this day.

Re the topic of that discussion, while I always liked Glorantha I found it
rather too contrived for my own tastes, and Peter's comments about the
80's-90's Gregging (into the current day) by Gloranthaphile scholars
essentially turned me off it despite my own meagre contributions to the
published work.  I prefer my fantasy slightly familiar to the totally
fantastic - Tolkien instead of Jorune, if that doesn't date me too much.
Glorantha just got to be too rococo for my tastes.

But that's why I continue to lurk here, since I think the mechanics of RQ
(props to Perrin) were and still are one of the best systems ever, despite
its being hitched to Glorantha.  My fantasy Europe campaign was one of my
longest running and most-enjoyed.
