Here is the reading plan for the Glorantha Book Club group read of the Guide to Glorantha. I have divided the Guide up into fifty sections. On the dates given below, I will set up a new channel for that week’s section, and we can use it to discuss the section. Where a single section covers multiple areas (e.g. Week 2: Hsunchen Culture, Doraddi Culture and Praxian Culture) separate threads will be created for each area. Please feel free to set up threads for particular sub-topics or new conversations that you want to start especially if it takes the main conversation off at a tangent. As moderator, I reserve the right to move messages into a thread so that separate conversations can happen more easily in parallel.
