the gloranthan year is 290 days? The maths in Mongoose Cults of Glorantha book makes no sense. Oh and did they ever publish Races of Glorantha vol 2?

      I asked Greg Stafford if this was the case at one of the RuneQuest/Glorantha cons, and his reply was that the Gloranthan year genuinely was shorter than an earth year. I seem to also recall that on one of the old digests Sandy Petersen said that the Gloranthans themselves realized that something was wrong about this, and that before the sunstop it may have been different.
