GypsyComet said they wanted to stop the thread because it was OT. But seeing as it is describing and providing analogies from the RW which, at least to me, are applicable and informative, I feel that this perception of it being OT is wrong - it is useful and helpful. And also we should expect questions to be asked based on comparisons with the RW, as these are the data points with which we are familiar.

EXACTLY. Thus it helped me understand what is going on in Glorantha, and is NOT off topic.

Huh? Am am not and was not annoyed about it at all. This is something you have imagined, I am afraid.

I would appreciate it if you would quit attributing non-existant motivations to my posts.
