My old RQ campaign world's chaos worked pretty much by the rules of RQ,
which makes it compatible with Glorantha I suppose.  The world also had
Griffon Mountain pretty much exactly as it appeared in Glorantha, but I
didn't have Lunars, or Prax, etc.  There were many more differences than
similarities, but it was still RQ.  <grin>

Hmm.  That assumes you can't have an immersive high fantasy setting and
I don't agree with that.  It would seem to me that a world that is so
closely tied to Chaos would have the possibility of lots of unique
creatures from just about any genre!  <smile>  However, I don't enjoy
the immersive style of roleplay, so I can't really say if my ideas of
creature suitability are compatible with yours or not.  <shrug>  I
apologize for the knee-jerk reaction regarding your D&D comment.  I
enjoy D&D, and RQ, and many other RPGs; for me, the enjoyment is in the
friendships and the adventures, not in the roleplay.  <smile>
