One of the things that I always loved about RQ2 was how "low-fantasy"
Pavis was, somewhat similar to Fafhrd & The Gray Mouser or the Thieve's
World series. We all know that the new Hero Wars RPG can model the
great Heroquests of Gloranthan myth, and also model personalities such
as Argrath, Jar-Eel and maybe even Arkat himself. However, can it also
model the personalities we meet in places like Pavis, such as Fleeter
Nemm, Treasure Trove Hurbi, Griselda and Wolfshead? Or lesser luminaries
from elsewhere in Glorantha? If HW can scale and allow RP for both ends
of the relative power spectrum, then it would be *joy* *joy*, as I feel
that not only the unique Heroes of Glorantha are part of what makes
Glorantha special.
BTW, will HW be able to model Ducks/Keets as PC's, and will one be able
to play lesser luminaries, such as Beat Pot Aelwrin or Cora of the two
mouths? :)
