Hi ALl,
Given the recent topics here about newbies and Glorantha, I was wondering what peoples' thoughts were on introducing it to new players? On my college campus there are quite a few people who have a Dungeons and Dragons/Tolkien inspired view of fantasy. Glorantha doesn't seem to fit this very well. On the other hand, it seems that Rune Quest would be more familiar to D&d people as compared with Hero Quest, though I'm personally more interested in the latter than the former. How do people do this? Keeping player engagement would seem to be critical. I have lots of info on the Orlanthi and comparatively little on any other group, so would prefer to stick to campaigns centering on them. Best and thanks for any insight,
Zack.
