What a rude comment!
Nobody said anything about being dumbed down.
I said it was for popular--i.e. commercial--purposes.
Why are you insulting the people who buy this game by saying they need
a "dumbled down" version?

You seem to want the impossible.
Glorantha is published by a company that has rarely had mmore than two
employees.
I have always encouraged people to write and get published what they
can, even if it may later be superceded. Why?
Because if we waited for everything to be perfect then NOTHING would
ever get published.
Most people are content with the published materials, even with
inconsistancies.
And I am pretty tired of all this fuss about rfevealign that many worshippers of a minor goddess might be lesbians.
