I would like to see the term "Adventurer" removed from the draft, except
where it is used as something besides a synonym for character. I *really*
hate that everyone in Glorantha is assumed to be adventuring. They're not.
There are plenty of very interesting characters which can be made, and
played, which have little to do with *adventure*. Those of you who were
involved in Home of the Bold: How many characters were "adventurers", or
were on an "adventure"?
Um, 2. Maybe 3 ?
