Hey I agree with you - this stuff is pretty darn expensive. Of course, I went to my local gameshop (horrible experience, I mean, the place is full of gamers!) and was shocked how expensive supplements are for old Call of Cthulhu.
However, I have a solution to your woes: ENCLOSURE. Rather than buy four books and decipher Greg's Pelorian works, just buy one book crammed with material gleaned from Greg's stuff. Included in Enclosure will be: "Orlanthi-Pack": ready to run material for Dragon Pass before Sartar. Cult write-ups, new subcults, descriptions of tribes and clans, the works. Did I mention that the thing includes the rules for PenDragon Pass, cultural heroquesting material, stories, and I think a scenario or two. "Alkoth-Pack": ready to run material for the southern citadel of Dara Happa. Cult write-up of Shargash the Destroyer, loads of ready to run material, and the most cost-effective solution to peoples tFS and GRoY problems.
One book, one payment, loads of information! Can you beat that?

Absolutely. My point is that if you are going to debate the "nature of Glorantha" or what-ever-the-hell this silly "-ist" drivel refers to, you should probably have at least one of the Pelorian sources (I would recommend tFS, personally). Otherwise, the debate seems even more pointless than it probably inherently is.

I fully agree with Dan. Darksee is a stupid spell for Trolls.
