I agree .... I is a bit annoyed at the fact that HW is so concentrated on HeroQesting ... Glorantha has so much to offer before that... as it is now I do not feel a need for HW, I liked the visions of glorantha as it was presented in RQ.... more down to earth ... so to say. And RQ had some problems as a system, but I can hardly see that HW will ever be as easy to learn for my players. Its way to vauge and abstract.

True combats could last for ever in RQ, but that could be winged if need was.

Here in HW you has to wing everything, all the time, and it is all epic and god's and quests and whatever...
