Introduction

Well, the Playtest scenario itself isn't fixed (in fact not even written), but I am still able to get a game going. It will be based in Seshnela, and should revolve around the lives of our heroes. PLEASE feel free to be creative - I am treating only what is in "Glorantha: Introduction to the Hero Wars" as 'known'. Don't be limited by what 'Gloranthan Scholars' would tell us!

Character Creation

My requirements for players' characters:

1. All must have *strong* personal ties (Relationships, primarily) to Seshnela
2. All characters *must* have FIVE psychological traits which we will call Drives that direct their behaviour in most ways. These Drives will be DIRECTLY responsible for the gaining of HeroPoints? during play :) and indeed, represent the only means of securing said HP's!!!
3. All characters must be made using the 100-Word, Keyword-List or Make-It-Up-As-You-Go methods.
4. Flaws act as abilities no different from any other - they are *your* opportunity (in conjunction with the above 'Drives') to direct the course of play.

Type of Campaign

I hope we can together build an engaging story, utilising the Drives and Flaws' YOU provide. Characters need *not* form part of a "multi-legged player-character-party" - I am interested in developing my skills at scene-shifting (so be warned if you guys separate!) but some degree of intertwining of individual stories would be thematically pleasing :)
