So Glorantha is a Consensual Reality? An interesting idea; although
it strikes me that somebody actually suggesting that in Glorantha might find
themselves declared a dangerous chaotic. It does provide quite a reason to
evangelize; the more people who accept your veiw of the world the more a part
of the world it becomes. A Hero becomes a Hero because a large enough group
of people _believe_ he/she is a Hero; dang, television would be hideously
dangerous in that Glorantha! :)
