I'm not going to flog the dead horse, I'm not going...

Ugh, halfway through a huge backlog of Digests and I was only away for a long weekend. I feel a hard-to-suppress urge to jump into the fray of the subjective/objective debate since some, in my opinion, rather stupid things have been said in it (on both sides).

However, I realize the utter futility of this. Nobody is going to bring _proof_ either way since there is none. The only person who can tell the truth about canonical Glorantha is Greg Stafford and he has written and said stuff that support _both_ views.

I can only ask rhetorically: am I the only one to find it slightly amusing to read in a single line of argument both the opinion "in Glorantha all myths and interpretations are true" and the opinion "in the real world I am right and everybody who doesn't agree 100% is wrong and a shallow-minded dimwit who should go play The Other Game"?

No, I'm not going to bore the audience with the quotes.


The age thing: since everybody who has fessed up as far as I have read are outside the postulated 30-35 range I have to admit to being within it. The day before christmas eve this year I will reach an age of one third of a century.


Gaming more, debating less about trivia: for some of us it isn't much of a choice really. The combination of a busy schedule and the lack of a gaming group makes the actual gaming sessions few and far between.
