Come on, he only wanted to say that he can not support anybodys Glorantha, but only one (his) Glorantha, and that in his Glorantha the Pharao is out of the future.

If do you want to use the Pharao in your Glorantha you say undirectly:

"I am not interessted in the "official" Glorantha."

Is it more worse that an author and publisher canīt be in line with all the Gloranthas of his fanīs, or that a "fan" doesnīt want to be in line with the "official" line?"

Nobody will blame you if you will not play the "official" Glorantha, but please be so fair to allow Greg to continue to publish his Glorantha, without careing to much about other peoples Glorantha.

As much as this sounds like a supporting statement for Martin in the RE discussion: It is NOT!
"Never fix a running system!" a proverb says. The RMM runs (almost) perfect; also with Gregs vision of the Lunar Empireīs future.

MGMV Cheers

Andre
