| 4 + 5 | Newt Newport | HeroQuest: Roleplaying in Glorantha. The latest incarnation of Glorantha and a very playable one at that. [ Read Review ] |
| 3 + 5 | Deacon Blues | HeroQuest: Roleplaying in Glorantha. The HeroQuest core book is an encyclopedia of unique and fascinating information. You can pick up an encyclopedia and find very interesting articles, if you know where to look, but it doesn't make a good read cover-to-cover. [ Read Review ] |

| 5 / 10 | Adrienne | I had trouble rating this book, because there's a real gem of a system trapped inside a tangle of disjointed setting bits and so-so organization. |
| 8 / 10 | Mechante_Anemone | Innovative, ground-breaking, and better organized than the original Hero Wars. Perfect for mythic-scale adventures (Greek mythology, The Red Star, etc.) |
