But it's not so much that not being official that depresses me (kind of a bummer, to be sure, but, as you say, one has to be realistic), but what looks like the wholesale loss of the medieval-Europe-through-a-twisted-glass idea. <br /><br />I can live with it not being MY twisted glass, but a wholesale erasure of everything that made it cool and interesting in the existing material... yeah, not my cup of tea.JK Revellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00358838350092883422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5877873840763228001.post-5087393178362016082012-01-11T23:47:46.021-08:002012-01-11T23:47:46.021-08:00I wasn't familiar with the D101 Games stuff. Y...I wasn't familiar with the D101 Games stuff. Yes, Jamie, I can see how this development has kicked sand on your castle of glorious joy. The odds of writing extremely detailed Gloranthan material that Greg loves AND agrees with? Not good. It's definitely a case in which your Glorantha has to vary if you're going to unleash that type of creativity.Rob Heinsoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06577746024668857179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5877873840763228001.post-36303410217217168762012-01-08T20:53:03.032-08:002012-01-08T20:53:03.032-08:00Also, should mention to Jamie that I love his book...Also, should mention to Jamie that I love his book on the West, even if it is 'non-canonical'. Lots of great material in there for people who want to keep it 'the way it was'.Ben Monroehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04097272298961101924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5877873840763228001.post-979983386099050202012-01-08T20:51:46.299-08:002012-01-08T20:51:46.299-08:00I've been a Glorantha fan since 1981 or so.

I'm always interested to see bits of it changing, and merging with Greg's new ideas and thoughts as it goes along. Watching this creative process unfold, and getting to be a part of it, is quite marvellous.Ben Monroehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04097272298961101924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5877873840763228001.post-53432653290876035542012-01-08T14:10:32.741-08:002012-01-08T14:10:32.741-08:00I, on the other hand, LOVED the West as it was por...I, on the other hand, LOVED the West as it was portrayed in Genertela:CotHW, and it rapidly became a really key element in my enjoyment of Glorantha. Very, very, sad to see these changes.JK Revellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00358838350092883422noreply@blogger.com
