G. Fried here.

John Hughes: I enjoyed your article on the various levels of involvement in Glorantha/RQ. Found it pretty accurate to my experience.

However, I think you came down a bit too hard on RQ as combat simulation. Now, I'm no fan of rules-mongering and power-gaming, but I think that turning Glorantha into JUST a venue for quasi-academic discourse (not that this can't be fun, too!) or, as you say, into a kind of bizarro second home (hey, I do this, too!) is going too far.

I'm not saying I want to see more scenario modules like Duck Pond! But I think a few more like Snakepipe Hollow wouldn't hurt. Like Peter said, let's not choke the fun out of the lozenge! Even a well done hack-and-slash adventure can lure more into the lozenge's fold! And RQ could use the attention -- and AH could use the income.
