Arcanology

The idea of Arcanology is to take a standard fantasy setting and do to it what the industrial revolution did to our world. In this case, it's been an archanological rather than technological leap forward. It grew out of a thread on rpg.net on "magipunk", a sort of alternate fantasy version of cyberpunk.

This game is going to use the HeroQuest rule set, but not the Glorantha setting. There's an official site which offers quick versions of the rules and sample characters (which are all for Glorantha, but they help show what a HeroQuest character looks like).
