Xavier,
>But how comes no french RPG magazine writes about Glorantha now (or very
>seldom)? No scenario? How comes RQ is never among the games chosen in RPG
>turnament (as far as I know)?...
To be totally honest a lot of what you described is the reason
This is why Chaosium clarified its rights to Glorantha last year,
RuneQuest is a dead duck. The production forces and market decisions
of the last 13 years led to its demise.
formed Issaries, Inc. this year, and will be releasing the new _Hero
Wars_ RPG next year. After the game gets going you should see a
half-dozen Glorantha supplements a year and hopefully computer games,
fiction, and more. The whole idea is to get Glorantha in the public
eye again, because the old game is dead. (And now, having seen a draft
of parts of the _Hero Wars_ rules, I can say that it's going to be a
worthy successor to RuneQuest, in many ways much more Gloranthan than
the original game ever was.)
