Hi Mike,
For whatever reason my message kept getting slashed- here's three
points I wanted to
make in the short:
The quotes from the last message support the idea of players with
more input- and that
doesn't work well with the idea of following a predetermined path.
Regarding Heresy #5:
"HeroQuest encourages you to use the narrative conventions that
make fiction, adventure
movies, and TV shows entertaining. This is not the logic of a
rigidly simulated reality with
dragons and magic thrown in, but the dramatic logic used by
storytellers since the first
times." HQ pg. 62
My personal heresy- "Canon fidelity is pointless"
I say this because of 3 things.
"Just for information sake, I´ve generally held that the
Heortlings are brown skinned, not
white, or pink, as it were. Artists, most European, have tended to
draw everyone as pretty
much white, though."- http://glorantha.temppeli.or

At the point where Greg himself isn't too concerned with loose
interpretation of canon and
imagery by his own artists- I don't think anyone is in a position to
get upset about fidelity
to canon.
