That's hardly explaining the unique value of the system that you're toting. You need to dig down deeper than 'mythical feel' and 'richness' before you can explain why said game is 'fantastic'.

Hate? I'm not the one making public pronouncements about 'purifying' Glorantha. Your comment is inane, and its a classic SMJR misdirection. I've made no judgement about HQ3: system is of little interest to me. I don't even think I've read HQ2. All three of you have done much that I admire. But I don't hear Loz or Ian making the kind of head-up-the-arse surreal statements about 'correct', Glorantha and 'correct' play that you make such a habit of. I would like to think that my twenty five years contributing to the Gloranthan community count for a little as well.
So if I can encourage you to think beyond the vagaries, what is it that makes your quoted game, 'fantastic'?
