Meanwhile, because I have limited time, instead of running HQ (which is a shame because I love Glorantha) my gaming group has spent 18 months with 2 GMs running Feng Shui. . . basically because we're busy folk and don't have time to write scenarios and there are scores of 'plug and play' scenarios for Feng Shui.
Next up I'm likely to be asked to GM, and I'll be running Traveller, not HQ (which is a shame because I love Glorantha) because I have a bunch of plug and play scenarios ready to use for it.
The last time I ran anything Gloranthan was about 1998/9, when we ran RQIII / Griffin Mountain, which *was* wonderful. . . but did come out 300 years ago. . .
2. The Scenarios in the main HQ rule book did not appeal much, and we could not find anyready to run. This one surprised me, especially considering White Wolf products are very successful without scenarios, but maybe people need more ideas on what can be done with the system? 3 people said this, and that was the biggest surprise to me.
3. We find the Gloranthan community and background too esorteric and ancient lore reliant, and "elitist", and have been made to feel like idiots for rmaking mistakes by players who knew it better than us, or just could not learn enough to feel confident - 2 people, slightly different but I put them together in this category. One of them felt alienated from the lists, and seemed to feel themselves a victim of "Gloranthan politics" - they were quite aggressive in tone, and I narrowly escaped having to hear the whole story.
5. I could not work out how to write adventures for it.
