To each their own (Glorantha).

Funny, as I was surprised by Greg saying he never mentioned it in print, because I was *damn* *sure* I knew it was a full (Gloranthan) year.

I've always assumed the Gloranthan year was wrapped around the human gestation period, with a couple of weeks to make the seasons equal in length. And sacred time doesn't count of course.

Cheers,

I was surprised - saw that name coming up everywhere. Did I miss anything? Sorry - haven't watched the news regularly for over twenty years, I've kept to the papers and radio from then on.
