Neither has a thing to do with science, either.
That's not true -- they were both *inspired* by actual science, but neither is "scientific" by definition. They aren't supported by evidence.

Nick, you're raising a sore point there.
I *did* (help to) write something called "RuneQuest: Adventures in Glorantha". Trouble is, Greg and Sandy rejected it after we'd invested literally thousands of hours, not only writing but editing and *typesetting* the thing.
Your implicit accusation above is unwarranted and frankly, given the
circumstances, offensive.
