Come here any time and ask anything you want about Glorantha - some of the most knowledgeable people in the world are members here and nearly all are willing to give generously with their time when folks ask questions, pose subjects for discussion or bring stuff for others' entertainment (like actual [non-game system] play examples).
Perhaps you haven't heard, there is a new Pavis supplement heading like a train towards being published by Moon Design. It will not have any RQ-specific content but it will have all the background material you will need to have the best games set in the area. The publishers passionately love Pavis, the Big Rubble (the massive ruins of the city of Old Pavis) and all have dear memories of the old days when we all used to play the Chaosium boxed-sets mentioned by Donald.
Let us know if you have any trouble finding the Gloranthan products you want!
See you around.
