But you quote what the original authors may have intended as if it mattered more than what *you* intended. As if you, as a "fan", are somehow less important to the development of Glorantha, all those people who developed the place in that 15-year span are less important, by being labelled "fan".

Well, yes, I suppose so... I don't actually see the Romans as all that evil (small "e") myself, either. But the dramatic conflict is between Evil Empire and Heroic Barbarian: from that viewpoint, all empires are Evil simply by being empires, and that definitely includes the British one.
