Some of you here propably came accross the brilliant mod fantasy-quake back in the day. That, and others of it's kind, really made me with I had the time and skills required to make a proper Glorantha action game.

For that nostalgic feel the game could be built around raiding Snakepipe Hollow.

Imagine getting to choose a character from a Zorak Zorani troll, an orlanthi hero or parhaps a Humakt or Eurmal worshipping duck! :D

The gamebalanse could be found by tapping into something between RuneQuest and Hero Quest rules. Magic used from a pool of power that recharges slowly as you go along. Sacrificing enemies along the way would build up mojo for some major feats, and so on.

It wouldn't have to be a terribly long or deep game, but it would be nice to see one with the Gloranthan flavour, instead of the ever present D&D tripe.
