Classic Glorantha
To the tune of Ashes to Ashes, by David Bowie
Words by Nick Brooke
Do you remember Glorantha's been
in quite a few games now?
I heard a rumour from Issaries:
"Oh please, do say it's true!"
They've got a deal with Steve Jackson now:
"He's happy, they're all happy too..."
I love my old Gloranthan games
now there's a new one coming out.
They're publishing HeroQuest, it's a new system:
Orlanth's dead now, but Issaries ain't,
Though they still ain't got no money, and it's not yet "next year,"
But they're hoping the HeroQuest system will grow...
Classic Gloranthan games for gamers,
we know Mr Greg's no lamer,
Certain that HeroQuest's
hitting his all time high.
Time and again I tell myself:
"I'll play that game tonight."
But the Hero Wars rules keep screwing me:
"Oh no, not again!"
We're stuck playing Basic Role-Play:
"We're happy, hope you're happy too..."
Junk Hero Wars:
simpler system next time.
Greg's often wrote good things
Greg's sometimes wrote bad things
Greg never wrote anything that's complete poo.
(Then again...).
We want a new Gloranthan game:
want HeroQuest right now
Classic Gloranthan games for gamers,
we know Mr Greg's no lamer,
Certain that HeroQuest's
hitting his all time high.
Narrator said, to be impressed,
you'd better look out for HeroQuest.
