Well, no. That wasn't what I had in mind but it's a good point. I would say that the 'low-end' 'gritty' style of Gloranthan role-playing would be well served by GURPS and I do think that HW is a bit less useful for that sort of thing.
If SJG ever gets seriously interested I'd give it a bash.
(Not that I expect the occasion *ever* to arise.)
Oddly enough I'd say that GURPSifying HW would be a lot easier than a RQ->GURPS
translation.

Indeed.

Well, might I suggest "Heroic Failure"?
