Yea, me too.

There are a couple of problems there. Everway scores characters in four elements Earth, Air, Water and Fire. To fit well in a Gloranthan context there should perhaps be a Darkness score too. Worse is that the connotations of the Everway elements are a bit different from Gloranthan reality, e.g. in Everway, Air is the element of though and expression and Fire is the element of physical activity and combat.

The second big problem is Everway's fortune deck (cards used for action resolution) which are intriguing, but use symbols and images which seem less well suited for Glorantha.

>I will let you all know how it works out.

I hope you succeed, for the idea is great.
