This is the problem, I am not interested in playing a sociologist. "In a fantasy game, the gods are real." I don't want to run a game in the real world with a little magic added either. What Martin mentioned above I have no problem with as far as a hero cult goes, but it can't become a full-fledged god. I guess that I am doomed "never to fully appreciate the depth and richness of Glorantha" as I consider the above to be utter bullshit.
Yes, I am aware that this is how Greg is writing his myths, and I'll deal with it. I will rewrite some and wedge together the others until I find a crisp underlying structure to it all.
I yield the field to Martin and Alex.
