  Greg Stafford - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
He is the creator of the Glorantha game world, co-designer of the RuneQuest, Pendragon, and HeroQuest role-playing systems, founder of Chaosium and Issaries, designer of the White Bear and Red Moon and Nomad Gods board games, and co-designer of the King of Dragon Pass computer game.
He is a practising shaman, and until recently lived in Mexico, tutoring English as a foreign language and exploring places of archeological interest.
Around 1974, Stafford created White Bear and Red Moon, a board game about the struggle of several people in the area of Dragon Pass, but in essence the conflict between the Lunar Empire and the barbarian Kingdom of Sartar and their allies, all set in the world of Glorantha.

Brown bears are found across the northern hemisphere: in Canada, Alaska, and the northwestern United States, in parts of eastern and western Europe, and throughout northern Asia, including Japan.
Although nearly 150,000 brown bears still exist in the wild, their numbers are spread thinly in many areas and they have been completely extirpated from vast portions of their former range.

A lunar eclipse occurs when the moon is covered by the shadow of the earth - that is, the earth comes between the sun and the moon, casting the earth's shadow on the surface of the moon.
Since this is a total eclipse, the moon will enter the penumbra, which is not visible to the naked eye, then the umbra, then there will be a period of totality, followed by the moon leaving the umbra, and finally the penumbra, ending the event.
Unlike the full moon, where we suggested that fl-and-white film would work, one of the characteristics of a total lunar eclipse is that the moon appears to be reddish in color during totality.

Moon bears -- or Asiatic fl bears -- are medium sized, stocky bears averaging 140 - 165 centimeters (4.5 - 5.4 feet) tall and weighing 90 - 115 kilograms (198 - 254 pounds).
Bears in the northern part of their range hibernate each year from November to March or April in a den, cave, hollow log or tree cavity.
Moon bears are threatened by hunting and collecting (their gall bladders are used in traditional medicines and their paws are used for food), population fragmentation, deforestation and habitat loss, human settlement, infrastructure (roads, dams, etc.), conflicts with humans, and lack of conservation efforts.

 Glorantha - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The first game system set in Glorantha was the board game White Bear and Red Moon.
Stafford first tried to sell the game to established publishers, but despite being accepted by three different game companies, each attempt ended in failure; eventually he founded his own game company in 1974, the influential Chaosium, to publish his game.
The next publication was also a board game, Nomad Gods, published by Chaosium in 1978, which detailed the raids and wars between the beast-riding spirit-worshipping tribes of Prax, a cursed land to the east of Dragon Pass.
