Rating User Summary
4 + 4Andrew Montgomery. The latest in a long line of games set in the mythic world of Glorantha, "HeroQuest" is a vast improvement over the muddled and sloppy "Hero Wars," the game it now replaces, and perhaps the best introduction newcomers to Glorantha have ever had.
3 + 4Lev Lafayette. A very good narrativist system based on conflict-resolution mechanics and set in the extremely cool world of Glorantha. A reasonable product, but could do with some editing improvements in future editions.
