The discussion being forwarded so diligently by Julian is entertaining and
occasionally interesting, but ultimately unsettlable. [I use Julian's
discussion only because it is so present. A lot of discussions can be
treated in the manner described below.]
It is sometimes a bit frustrating to see it go on and on. I occasionally
tire of these discussions because they cannot be settled. They are out of
context because they are of Earth, not Glorantha.
I would like to propose a way to deal with this, in a Gloranthan manner
that would, I think, be more entertaining and interesting.
Rather than arguing endlessly on these matters I would really like to see
them presented as a Gloranthan document.
That is, Julian could write up a document that presents his theory as a
Gloranthan theory. It would be in context. It could be used in a game. It
could be tested, in Glorantha, for its veracity, using the HeroQuest
Challenge. A HeroQuest adventure would be to test theories.
I would love to see this happen more. I occasionally tire of people trying
to convince me (or each other) of the truth in Glorantha. I would love to
see these things presented as a Gloranthan document and then put into the
HeroQuest context for testing.
Rather than trying to determine "what Glorantha is" or "What Glorantha has
been," a more fertile context would be to set forth a discerned truth and
then determine "What Glorantha is going to be."
This is the essence of the Hero Wars.
This would move the Hero Wars forward, contribute to the game, to your and
others' campaigns and present oodles of data for people to play with.
Is this possible?
