  1. Foreword - p6 I found this section very moving. It clearly communicates the huge effort behind a full life dedicated to creating a complex, rich and enticing world. Introduction-p8-p17 Al bit surprised about the style of this section. for some reason I was expecting the overall guide to be written without much reference to the "real" world. In a few instances the reader is reminded of the difference between Glorantha and life in the XXI century. I would have preferred for those references to be omitted. Saying that, I did found amusing the following paragraph on p-11: "We hope you will take the time to understand such points, and not oversimplify Gloranthan societies by imposing Earthly points of view." The Cosmology of Glorantha-p10 Really liked the depiction of the cosmology. Simple, clear and representative allowing the reader to gain quickly a basic understanding of the world.I'm not familiar with Glorantha so I'm not able to judge it's accuracy but I find it appealing and intriguing.
  2. I'm glad I came across this initiative the other day in G+. I bought myself a copy of the Guide (slipcase version) in April, this gives me the perfect excuse to read through it and enjoy it. Cover I love John Hodgson's cover, really inspiring and intriguing. Like Oracle mentioned before I did not recognise the characters depicted so I welcomed the welcomed the footnote on the dust jacket. Dust jacket Greg Stafford's paragraph about the importance of methodology is telling and consistent with a presentation he gave on Gencon 14. It also reminds me of the recent American Gods tv series.
