Er, because DitV is not HeroQuest, and we were a HeroQuest/QuestWorlds/Mythic Russia list not a specifically Gloranthan one last time I looked? I mean sure we have mainly Gloranthan discussion, but I like the fact this list is about the HQ system.
HQ is very usable outside of Glorantha _ I ran a really fun Harry Potter style game set in Greyfriars last uing the system last week. I did not post on it because I know as I said we are primarily Gloranthan here, but hey it is the *HeroQuest* list. :)
Still happy to discuss, and from my post on the WoG list post on the subject--
"It's an interesting idea, but trollkin based on my understanding of DitV -
I
own the game, and have unsucessfully tried to run it twice - you might run
in ot problems.
In Dogs the religious zealots make up their own morality - its about PLAYERS making moral chouices, not characters. I tried ot play once at a onvention and based my character actions on early-Mormon theology, which I happen to have read up on a bit. This actually ruined the game, and the gM had to say "look the Faith is not defined - this i snot about your character living up to some set of ideals or right behaviour, but you making the choices necessary."
So really while you coudl run the game in a gloranthan setting, you would risk the players trying to find the right Humakti conduct - adding another layer to the game, but not maybe playing it as intended.
I could have completely misread DitV however, and it sounds like an interesting experiment. Let us know how it goes..."
