I have written a thorough (but "work-in-progress") Martial Arts rules
expansion, complete with designer notes for designing unique martial arts
styles (Yes, I'm acquainted with martial arts rules in other game systems
such as I.C.E. and "the other game company." Is there an "Eastern"
location in Glorantha where an oriental culture exists (or could exist).
If not an oriental culture, is there a Gloranthan location where unarmed
combat would be more a way of life and could be modified to include other
aspects of the martial arts (such as eastern philosophies).
Also, I am willing to e-mail my rules expansion to any interested for
their own personal, "not for profit" use in exchange for a promise of
constructive criticism of those rules. By way of comparison, the RQ3
martial arts rules are fine for cultures in which martial arts are (at
most) secondary to other combat styles, but my rules expansion is
designed to add flavor and depth for predominantly oriental-type
cultures. For a martial arts campaign, I would prefer a Gloranthan
oriental culture with limited magic. Then the characters might
eventually come into contact with other Gloranthan cultures.
