Welcome aboard, John! Glorantha and HeroQuest may be confusing, but
you've come to the right place. ask plenty of questions, make a nuisance
of yourself, and then start coming up with absurd theories of your own*,
and you should fit right in.
The name change? HeroQuesting has been part of Glorantha from the beginning, but the name HeroQuest had been trademarked/copyrighted for a boardgame years ago. When the copyright on the name expired, Issaries restored it to its rightful place for the second edition of what had been Hero Wars. This new edition is much clearer than hero wars was, and has some rules changes and clarifications.
