| Pour les passionnées de Glorantha | |
| C’est une exploration des histoires et des concepts qui, lorsqu’ils sont tissés ensemble, résument quelque chose qui peut soutenir la vie, et surtout, les émotions dont un monde de jeu de rôle digne a besoin pour prospérer. Il ya beaucoup d’éléments dans le style dans ce livre, qui viennent tout avec une force différente parfois. L’écriture est académique et autoritaire, même si les concepts qu’elle touche ne sont pas conformes à ce que nous pensons comme science. Il est plein de fables, rappelant à la fois Ésope et les frères Grimm, tous les deux essayant de donner un sens au monde autour d’eux ou de la moralité à travers différents moyens de narration. C'est une parti du 'world building' de Greg Stafford. Un incontournable pour les passionnées de Glorantha. |
