I went back and looked at lot of the Hero Wars comments. Most of the
tone wasn't
disrespectful. <IMO> You know this can be good feedback for Robin, seeing
how playtesters interpret things. Some seem to bring up good ideas that may
mesh with HW as it is finalized. Robin is a professional and a good one, I
doubt he losing sleep over list comments.

The comments are about a proposed Gloranthan roleplaying game. It was
mentioned
that there may be separate lists at the future time, but it isn't now.
>OK, you played it at Convulsion, and were invited to comment - so email
>Robin with your comments, but please don't slander Hero Wars in public.
And Robin or Chaosium can respond if they think the critics are out of hand.
I wasn't at either con that it was demoed at, so the discussion is valuable to me and WILL factor in my buying decision later.
BTW, from all the comments on the list, my only contact with the design, I look forward to it and should buy a copy early.

It's the excitement on the horizon. People want to talk about it, and it
is Glorantha's future. I hope Robin will find it of use. It a least gives
me a fix
until I can buy it.
