That won't happen.
To be blunt: RuneQuest is a dead system. It doesn't generate enough
sales to support a game line. Chaosium likely could not have published
the last 5-10 supplements that Avalon Hill did because we would have
lost money. From my understanding Avalon Hill only could because they
needed to keep the printing presses running (which they own, you
understand).
If Glorantha were tied to RuneQuest it would be dead too. The whole
idea behind Hero Wars is to create a new game that will be more
accessible, enjoyable, and innovative, and thus be able to actually
support a game line, and so Glorantha.
