 Or just play RQ. Lots of roleplayers I know have played, know of, or
possess RuneQuest. they might not be Gloranthaphiles but they sometimes run
the system and that was how I got involved in Glorantha, a one-off scenario
in Apple Lane that turned into a full blown campaign.

 And BUTTS would be chopped Broo liver then would it? We don't need an
official word, just because someone works at Chaosium or AH and says that RQ
and Glorantha should be wholeheartedly supported doesn't make it so. All we
need are more of the same things as Tales, or Conventions, or even just Web
Pages dedicated to RQ.

 I'm not slandering you, or hurling abuse, but you seem a little defeatist.
I am a new addition to the hoards of Gloranthan lovers, having only played
for two years, so to that shows that the system isn't relegated to those who
just started playing it in RQ II edition.
 Also, I would point to the English magazine Arcane, which seemingly gives a
lot of support and more than a few mentions to RQ. Perhaps the new RQ will
be a breath of ife to the system. Although I am intrested in Greg's Nail in
the Coffin, whatever that is.

 As I said, defeatist.

but then Sandy made it all clear to me.
