PAMALTELA MEMORUNDUM
*Outline
First, I should recognize the
aspects of Fantasy World, (if it is required,
read Greg Stafford's
psychological movement, though very dangerous. to do
so.) Gameable World and
Actual World, for example, if you want to use the
continent as a place of
temporal visit for your campaign as wolf pirates or
so, you might make your
Pamaltela to odd and bizarre, weird as much as
possible as Sinbad or
Galliver. (I remember Sandy Petersen was the designer
of CoC.....) On the
contrary, if you want to makeup longish campaign only
gamed on there, you
might want to make this place as comfortable or exciting
for all of life
place. Simon Bray or David Dunham might want to do so.
Second, if someone
want only symmetrical beauty and harmony of the whole
complete Glorantha, as
Peter Metcalph and Joerg Baumgartner do for Fonrit
(though I love both of
their works, Joerg might not "love enough" Fonrit as
Simon), I cannot discern
their effort is fruitful or not in the future,
because if only minority want
to stay Pamaltela long as a player character,
an unified World View has a
possibility to damage the each of creativity of
each narrators (or
gamemasters) as my poor attempt to makeup overview of
Arkatism in Second
Age.
Third, HW and HQ Rule System should not be ignored, even if a sort
of like
TI's foolishness urge others to ignore that.....history only knows
who is
Trickster.....(I think) See KODP and the Saraska's Tragedy
(Comedy?)
Sandy Petersen's Note in RQ Con Compendium #4. It is very
important for deep
understanding of (exploring) and exploitation of this
area. Nick Brooke
taught me the parallel change of rule systems in RW game
circumstance and
development of the South Continent. And there is always
Peter Metcalph. His
Glorantha ITHW and Greg Stafford's RM and
ML.
