I never got really got into the respective modules, because they are not that great to run, really,
but apparently the story is that Black Tower begat Dark Tower, which then begat Duck Tower.
Quote:Nah, there are only a few Glorantha references. Ducks exist in Glorantha, but they are a minor race there, not really a big part of the setting except as a fan favorite/pet hate.
Wasn't this the parody game on Runequest, then? If you're truly interested in the matter, check this out.
I think I read Lortz being involved in something in that respect many years back. Probably on K&K, but I don't remember.
Also, apparently some maps match, or can be connected. I remember that because I pondered buying some Glorantha stuff at that time,
but then rather invested in some JG (which was the worse purchase).
Quote:True, there is very little specifically connecting this setting to Blackmoor. What is more interesting is the similarity in humorous elements. Blackmoor is obviously a much more serious setting, but humour exists there too, most noticably in the FFC.
Also, the connection to other than the usual Appendix N literature! Blackmoor and the related settings are very close,
I think, to a man called Fred Saberhagen, and also closer to Moorcock than people like to recognize today.
