10 / 10YojimboUKBest game related fiction I've read. An epistolary novel that's made up of Greg Stafford's bits and pieces about the Kingdom of Sartar and the Orlanthi hero Argrath.
9 / 10deleriadIt's unique. A collection of miscellany offering hints about how the Third Age ended.
9 / 10cj.23Superb source for Glorantha, concentrating on Sartar, tarsh, the Grazelands and Dragon Pass generally - more like reading the Anglo Saxon Chronicles mixed with the Epic of Gilgamesh than a normal rpg fiction novel. With extensive footnotes and citations by "later scholars" in the style of historical and biblical Criticism journals. Recommended!
9 / 10sciencefishGreat source material for any Dragon Pass campaign.
9 / 10ShannonAOne of the deepest and most interesting books of Gloranthan lore around.
6 / 10owe for the fleshThe first Glorantha book I ever read! Unfortunately, it's not very newbie-friendly.

Ratings Explanation

The following components make up a rating:

Ratings. The ratings that users enter into this index are each averaged into the final rating with a weight of between 0 and 4, with weight based on trust algorithms.

Reviews. Each review is averaged into the final rating with a weight of 8. Sometimes reviews can skew high, but they also display fan interest (or disdain) in a product.

Content. The average rating of each content--before its own bayesian weight is inserted--is averaged into the final rating. The weight of a content is equal to its own weight divided by the number of contents, and divided again if it only appears in a fraction of editions.

Bayesian Weight. A rating of 5.00 is inserted into the final rating with a weight of 35. This is an arbitrary weighting of the average rating that keeps things toward the center until they're better rated.
