Right, first off, I hope I'm not breaking any rules, and i respectfully ask posters to not go off in to comparing the rival merits of systems. If MRQ and HQ stuff can be used together, for ideas at least, everyone wins. I am keen to run a short HeroQuest second age game: and I want to use the Mongoose gaming materials, as I find Glorantha Second Age from what I have seen a very good introduction to Glorantha for newbies - I can just give them the book to browse and learn about the world.

As I mentioned in another post, I'm keen to create keywords etc,and thought I might discuss it on here. Now here's the rub. I gave my copy of the MRQ rules away. Still, I can convert more from concepts than game stats anyway, so no big deal.

Still, so far I have Glorantha Second Age and the pdf on Ralios. How useful are the Cult books likely to be to me? (I have all Issaries HQ/UW(well nearly!)/RQ2/RQ3 materials I think). Is there anything else in the line i might have missed? What about Magic of Glorantha? I am not worried about their intrinsic merits as MRQ supplements, I'm asking specifically from a I am going to use this stuff with HQ perspective. (Otherwise I'd ask on the Mongoose forums) Any ideas/comments? Anyone created keywords already?

Thanks all!
