Mongoose produced some interesting variants on HeroQuesting in their Second Age Glorantha supplements. Some things would work really well, others not so well. I have deliberately steered clear of using Mongoose HeroQuesting here, as it is not covered by the OGL. However, now that Mongoose have stopped producing material for Glorantha/RuneQuest, it might be worth looking at their ideas again, especially as RuneQuest is going to make another appearance in a Gloranthan form.
I have been running HeroQuests, in some form, for almost 30 years and have picked up what works for me and what doesn't work. Obviously, the same things won't necessarily work for everyone, so my ideas are merely suggestions for you to use, not use or change. So, please look at these ideas on HeroQuesting and start using HeroQuests in your Gloranthan games - you will enjoy them!
