Whats the most practical/simpler way to use AW in Glorantha ?

My group is brewing some adventuring ideas right now and we´re flirting with AW because of its simplicity and speed of play (two factors very important, since all the group is adults with family). It doesnt need to be too elaborate or complex. In fact, we thought about a simple premise of the adventures of a little clan in Dragon Pass striving for greatness and booze.

The most practical way for this that I could think of, is simply translating the default playbooks directly to Glorantha equivalents, more or less like this:

The Angel = Chalana Arroy Healer
The Hardholder = Orlanth Clan Chief
The Battlebabe = Vingan Fyrdwoman
The Gunlugger = Humakt Weaponthane
The Operator = Issaries Merchant
The Brainer = Lhankor Mhy Lawspeaker
The Skinner = Eurmal Skald
etc.


What you think ? Any help is apreciated.

No, that's rubbish; the Apocalypse World archetypes are optimised for living in their world, and reskinning just wouldn't have the same effect. You'd get a much better game by rebuilding your archetypes and character stats again from scratch.

The way you were thinking of doing it a year ago, basically...

Yeah, but that way is too much work.

What sex moves do Ducks and Trolls use?

Have you tried HeroQuest? It's a narrative game system designed to fit Glorantha, and could be what you are in fact searching for. I would check it out if I were you, silva.

Wow, awesome music. Thanks for pointing out.

Quote from: BenoistHave you tried HeroQuest?

Yup. Didnt like it much. Too flavorless, I think.

Besides it, I think AW "community-driven" playbooks fit beautifully with King of Dragon Pass.

Well that's my internet weirdness quotient topped up for the weekend.
