Thanks Greg! I find the thought of gaming such stuff so repulsive that
I just can't understand how people can do it. Just because there are
"broos" in our world doesn't make it an excuse for including it in a
fantasy world. Our world is sick, let's heal it and not spread the
disease to Glorantha.
I for one wants to make my world just like /my/ Glorantha, free from
even the thoughts of rape and such inhuman bestiality. There is
conflicts enough for gaming anyway.
Yes, I have strong feelings about this!
