Hi
I wonder if it may have been due to the essentially 'Runequest'
ambience of the material. Pavis and the Big Rubble is arguably the
quintessential D&D type setting for Glorantha. This is not in
keeping with the style of the official material released you might
think. Some could also argue that the Heroquest rules do not really
support that kind of gaming. For example, when I ran the Cradle
scenario I could see players tire of rolling a large number of
simple contests to settle combats. This was in many ways a stark
contrast to the campaign to that point which had focused on
community and the characters relationships and their obligations.
Runequest I think makes the Cradle scenario a far more exciting
experience, in my opinion, when it really is a dramatic contest to
keep you character alive in the face of the endless multitude of
attacks. You have all these wonderfull strategic decisions to make,
concerning the conserving of Rune Magic, and power points, and when
to heal and when to rest and that kind of thing, to say nothing of
pitting yourself against the GM controlled foes and win glory for
the character and the player! I understand that is why Greg wrote it
the way he did, to make an exciting game of Runequest. I am not
convinced it is 'as good' as a Heroquest scenario having ran it with
Heroquest.
Just saying,
Regards
