I've really enjoyed the system, if not Glorantha itself.<br /><br />They've so many other games published using this ruleset, they couldn't just pitch it over the fence. However, the name is a little . . . curious. I enjoyed the fact that the MRQ2 rules weren't tied explicitly to Glorantha. Unfortunately, the investment required to get into that setting kept their support material for this nice game from selling all that well.<br /><br />In an era when gamers are having to birth their own children to expand their dwindling numbers, having a niche game is a suicide-move. I cannot understand how Issaries, Inc. has kept afloat all these years.<br /><br />Best of luck to them!Gerall Kahlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09324435667145977126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7913319789564397699.post-67197387497130473852011-05-23T09:10:32.615-05:002011-05-23T09:10:32.615-05:00First thing that popped into my head when I read t...First thing that popped into my head when I read the word "Wayfarer" was "Pathfinder." <br /><br />I've never had a chance to play any version of RQ, so I don't have a dog in this race either, but it does seem like a cheap ploy to try to ride on Pathfinder's coat-tails.Dennis Laffeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03053699552003336733noreply@blogger.com
