[Glorantha] heroquests and reality

[Tony Davis]

You keep saying that, and I just still don't get it. 
The rest of what we hear about Glorantha seems to say
that rituals and mythologies shape the reality of
Glorantha and if you can get into the myth and change
it, you change reality.  It's what experimental
heroquesters do.  It's what the Lunars are doing. 
It's what the God Learners were doing.  It's what
everyone who is anyone of any consequence in Glorantha
is doing.

The Gloranthan cultures are the clay that heros play
with to make things happen.  In the reality of the
game, 'history' and 'culture' are just so much dross
for the giants of the world to toss into the fire as
they fight each other.

Sucks to be a normal person, yes, but that's what it
seems like to me.
