A lot of this is based on stuff that has been available - Myths of the Month and other materials on the Glorantha.com site, Arcane Lore, TR and ST, the Dragon Pass booklet, the King of Dragon Pass computer game, material posted by Greg and others on this list - and material that is either out of print (like Enclosure) or not yet in print (like the forthcoming Orlanthi Unfinished Work). A lot of this stuff is posted on other websites like David Dunham's, John Hughes', Ian Cooper's or Lokarnos. Fortunate Succession, Glorious ReAscent of Yelm and Entekosiad have also been the basis of some fun games I've played in - now that ILH-2 will be coming out soon, I think there will be plenty of background for some really great games set in the Heartlands of the Lunar Empire.
For those that can go - especially those of you in Europe and the UK - the various Conventions are great places to get additional material, ideas, or whatnot. For example, at Continuum, David Dunham and I will be auctioning off a copy of the Orlmarthingsaga - our huge campaign log filled with maps, new Mike O'Connor art, and lots and lots of Sartarite background. Proceeds from the auction go to support Continuum.
Finally, there really isn't the hard divide between writers and fans that some posit. Write and post interesting material, collaborate with others, and generally contribute to Glorantha in a positive and interesting way and you will likely end up with people being perfectly willing to share their thoughts, notes, and concepts with you. Finally - run your own games set in Glorantha and contribute to this list by posting ideas, background, and myths that those games have generated.
