Ah, it seems that I should have written out more clearly what my thoughts were. I do not doubt that other worlds and also RW cultures have HQ-like traditions, what I reacted to was _Gloranthans_ going to other worlds/dimensions through HQ. Maybe I got the original question wrong, I don't know, but IMO (and in Greg's, I believe, see below.) Glorantha exists in it's own reality and you can not reach other worlds even through heroquesting.

In the Gloranthan Lore Auction on RQ-Con 1994, Greg said: 'I am not one who enjoys mixing genres. I think it always does each genre a disservice. ... I let it happen once and I still regret it. That was Redbird. ... Never again.'

But, as always, every GM if free do deal with Glorantha as he likes.
