In this episode of the Glorantha Initiation Series we chat with Amber and Christian, from DMs After Dark! We mention using Glorantha's unique character concepts to lure players into a new campaign, collecting too many books, different game styles and pacing, sharing narrative control, managing sensitive topics, skipping elements of the lore, old school vs new school dungeon crawling, and of course wolves!
