I can see that. I am better with group body language, but an abacus somewhere could add some visual flair.

Agreed.

Of course part of the beauty of the approach is that Jeff's wonderful big Sartar book can *also* be picked up by a whole army of people who aren't interested in, tried and disliked, or were violently allergic to the story relativism approach. They can pick up Pendragon, Savage Worlds, FATE, Everway, HQ1, HQ1.5, [add long and unlikely list of games here] and experience glorious Glorantha too.
