Did anyone used to play (or perhaps still does) a RuneQuest game set in Glorantha? I played a couple of modules many years ago, but when I got properly into RQ, Avalon Hill had just bought it and released it with a suggested "fantasy Europe" setting, so that's what we went with. Path of least effort, and all that (well, we were teenagers).
I think we might have gone for Glorantha, except that it seemed we'd have to buy and read a huge amount of background info, spread over tens of supplements, before getting a proper grasp on the game-world and what it was all about. But I've never lost the feeling that we missed out. All the cults and legends and history made it seem the best put-together game setting ever, and the more I've learned about mythology and anthropology, the more I realise how much Greg Stafford knew about it too, and worked it into his game.
Did anyone participate in a well-run campaign? Was it as good as it looked?
