Hi ALl,
Given the recent topics here about newbies and Glorantha, I was wondering what peoples' thoughts were on introducing it to new players? /// Start in a specific culture and stick to it. Most people begin with Sartar, today as 30 years ago. It's rich enough to supply years of gaming.

You can introduce other cultures if yourself and players like it, but do it from your home culture's point, with full subjectivity, rumors, bigotry etc. Then have them meet the real thing. In Sartar they can meet many representatives of the lunar empire.

Above all, keep in mind NOBODY NEEDS TO KNOW ALL ABOUT GLORANTHA. You just need to know enough to have an enjoyable game session, both for GM and players. Weirdoes like myself and other, aging veterans like to dig for details and esoterica, but you don't need to know all this stuff to enjoy gaming in Glorantha !
