Believe it or not, I hear you on the spoonfeeding. Even though I’ve jumped into Glorantha headfirst, turning that into something I can run has been a huge hurdle for me. I’m actually hoping the new Red Cow book they just released on running a campaign does it but I haven’t been able to read it yet. But to your post, that’s a supplement and not a core rules set. Do you have any examples of other games that teach setting through play? I see how Pendragon helps teach the mindset of the period but not the setting exactly.
