Glad to hear it. What sort of huge scenario do you have in mind? I used bits of my hex map for a few conflicts from the Blood Kings war (Carmania) for Jannisors Rebellion (Peloria), a Plunder of Teshnos scenario (with Praxians raiding the big Elephant).

One thing that I wondered about for other areas of Glorantha is the symbolism hidden in the maps - examples being the cow in Prax, the Bear shaped Sartar, and Moon shaped Lunar Empire, and the obscene Devil's Marsh. I tried to make similar effects on Carmania: Worion being a large bull, the Brass Mountains being a C come moon, and the Lake with Castle Blue in it being a Crown. In Teshnos I had the whole kingdom as a large blue elephant. A lot of these effects can be done with just the colour scheme.

At the risk of blowing my own trumpet, have you got 'Careless Tork Costs Lives', or the Tarsh Civil War scenario from Raider's Digest. I also had a Dragonkill scenario using every counter that I could get my hands on. I migh be able to find a copy on a disc somewhere.
