Besides, I think the most known fantasy movie flop is the adaption from the Rings book, and those are the best novels of last century literature (n my opinion)!
I tremble at the idea of such a backstabbing being perpetrated on Glorantha, not that it can't stand after it, but I doubt that anything good (no, even the guilders) could come from it.
I am still waiting for someone daring to draw and produce The Silmarillion. After that, I suppose King of Sartar the Movie could be proposed with any hope.
But I agree with John. Have you ever played at Baldur'Gate or Warcraft II? BTW, after 23 long days, I am still waiting for my copy of TR, KODP, AR etc. so, please, folk: don't make me suffer endlessly.
