I am the ancient age of 52 now, but way back when I started roleplaying at the age of 11 with Runequest being my very first game.
I cut my teeth on the original Apple Lane and had great fun first rpg experiences defending Gringle's pawnshop!
So although I see the need for the setting to move forward in time, I was very saddened to see in the current time frame the pawnshop a blackened shell, Apple Lane so changed and Gringle chased off and missing.
So my question is, is there any info to say what happened to Gringle? Is he dead, or just set up another pawnshop somewhere else? I know it's my Glorantha and in my campaign I can say whatever I like, but what is the official version?
