Oddly, it's my wife always telling me her character can't go adventuring, when I keep telling her no, you have kin to take care of your child, and we're only talking a couple weeks out of the year so it's perfectly fine to leave home for a bit.
I do allow her character to decide whether or not to roll on the childbirth table every year, though I rule that the birth control isn't perfect (in fact, it failed once, though the last roll she would have gotten pregnant without it).

I have always wondered what Gloranthans use for toilet paper (large leaves?). Cultures that lack TP tend to exclude the hand of greeting from personal hygiene duties, so I wouldn't worry about Sor-eel's sensibilities.
As for Glorantha: the Game, I think the list (and the game) would be better served discussing *what* we want, not how to do it. For example, my wish list would include something that connects the individual with his culture and mythos, plays fast, has some tactical combat options, and scales to allow hero combat as well as scruffy adventurers. In other words, better suited to portray Glorantha. (I don't know if I'll be able to get all this.)
