D. McNamara asks
">After all, in Dorastor there is the suggestion that a hunting
horror, for >example, could be flapping about the land of doom. (but
is it a chaos demon >that coincidentally resembles a hunting
horror, or a real-live objective >hunting horror?)"
and Sandy Petersen answers
"It's a real-life hunting horror of course -- a prime
characteristic of Cthulhu monsters is that they can travel between
dimensions. Why not to Glorantha?"
I have to disagree with Sandy here. I think that there are some worlds for
which crossovers would work, but Glorantha isn't one of them. Glorantha has a
unique flavor and I think that having interdimensional travellers waltzing
through it would spoil that flavor. For example, I can imagine adventurers
from Moorcock's Young Kingdoms travelling to Lovecraft's Dreamlands without
ruining the flavor of either setting, but I cannot imagine Cthulhu showing up
in Tolkien's Middle Earth.
