We found it handy to write our Rough Guide to Glamour as an official Lunar tourist propaganda handout (in draft we called it an "Etyrist" publication -- spoofing Intourist, the official tourist agency of the Sov**t Un**n; and of course, the cult of Etyries -- though this was edited out before publication).
The Ibex Moon as the external arm of Lunar tourism *sorta* works for me. I would prefer to be given more of a handle on their ideology and propaganda stance, but maybe the new-look Lunar Empire doesn't rely on these so much as the Sov**t Model we worked with (non-exclusively) for so many years.
They certainly appear to be the most overtly "silly" thing in the HW core rules, and are rather jarring as presented there -- maybe a soupcon of Geo's or Thunderbreath or Bisonburgers *in addition* would have given a more rounded impression?
I have nothing against "silliness" in Glorantha, and wish there was more of it feeding through into the new product line.
Cheers, Nick
PS: the "Rough Guide to Glamour" was a Reaching Moon publication, not a Hero Wars product. Rick Meints still lists it as "for sale" on his www.glorantha.co.uk website [shop / megashops], priced at £8.00.
