I ran a hack of The Black Hack 2e I called Glorantha Hack at a con this weekend. Adventuring in the Big Rubble our heroes got through combat quickly and it had an old school flavour of ruling not rules. #Glorantha

Two adventurers feeling somewhat befuddled by what they've just found in the ruins. Two of our Bronze Age Miniatures Greek adventurers and a Kara'safra Pumpkin bear mounted on our 120mm RubbleCity base.
diorama of fieldstone paving with broken, scattered stone columns where two adventurers in Greek armour with spear, sword and shield face a hulking bear-sized monster with a flayed head that looks pumpkin-like. Its eyes are flaring with a blueish light. the same diorama from a side, 3/4 downwards view looking between the columns.looking towards the adventurers from behind the Pumpkin bear's back. on the left a female adventurer stands as if in shock, her sword lowered. to her right a male adventurer in Spartan wargear has his shield raised and spear held ready to defend.
