I'm preparing to run HQ with a bunch of unrepentant simulationalists none of whom will ever see 35 ever again. At least one of them is completely uninterested in relationship roleplaying. We all love Glorantha and want to roleplay but we're not necessarily going to storytell that much. I'm hoping HeroQuest will still work with our style of playing. Frankly a little structure's fine with me as story telling doesn't come naturally to me as a GMing style and I suspect I'll need all the crutches I can get. If you don't need the limits, ignore them YGWV after all, but why deprive others who might be happier with them?
