Here's what RuneQuest fans have to say about the book:

• "The Six Paths goes a long way towards opening up the space of possibilities implied by the six genders enumerated in the RuneQuest core book, and does so in a very charming and delightful way that's truly beautifully illustrated." — Greta.
• "I love this book. It added the last pieces of the puzzle to wrap my head around the way the Orlanthi view sex and gender. It makes in-world sense yet is very different to how we in the modern day view these same questions." — Jon.
• "An interesting take on what can be an awkward subject... Overall, it is a purchase I would recommend." — Peter.
• "Very interesting content about myths, cults and the society of the Heortlings, and all gorgeously illustrated. One of the best ways to show why Glorantha is so unique." — Javier.
• Well-written and beautifully presented. Six Paths discusses gender, sex, and sexuality with nuance and care... The Six Paths goes above-and-beyond other LGBT-advocacy publications by entwining its material with established lore of the setting." — Austin.
• "As a fellow creator on the Jonstown Compendium, I expect that Six Paths will earn its place dozens of times over in the “RuneQuest Reference” section of my bookshelves." — Akhelas.
