POR FIN!!!!!
> HeroQuest is Here!
>
> At last, HeroQuest has arrived. Really. We got our copies today, and Steve
> Jackson Games informs me that the book will ship to distributors Monday,
> August 18th. It should then show up in game stores as soon as the
> distributors can get them there. Surely it is only coincidence that this
> coincides with the mysterious event that knocked the power systems of much
> of the eastern seaboard of North America off-line? (Despite recent rumors,
> the limited edition hardcovers are still at the printer, and will not ship
> for at least another week.)
>
> Years in the making, HeroQuest is epic roleplaying amidst the myths and
> magic of Greg Stafford's fantasy world of Glorantha. HeroQuest,
Roleplaying
> in Glorantha is the culmination of 27 years of creation, revision, and
> difficult questing. Designed by Robin D. Laws and Greg Stafford, HeroQuest
> contains the same basic rules system as the ground-breaking Hero Wars
game,
> but it has been revised, streamlined, and expanded. While previous Hero
> Wars supplements are compatible with HeroQuest, the game is better,
faster,
> and stronger than it was before. This 288-page perfectbound book includes
> everything you need to start adventuring in Glorantha, including three new
> introductory scenarios and a new heroquest, in which the heroes travel
into
> the land of myth. Sample chapters are available to GTA members now, and
> additional samples and support material will be available to everyone once
> the site is updated.
>
> For years, Glorantha has captivated its fans with its rich and exotic
> cultures, myths, and wonders. In the words of Glorantha's creator, Greg
> Stafford, "For 27 years I've said it would be out 'next year.' Well, now
it
> is next year! HeroQuest is the system I have always wanted for
Glorantha --
> powerful and flexible enough to cater to every kind of hero, from the
> hunter trying to feed his family when the death of a god brings magical
> winter to his land, all the way to the champions of their homelands,
> duelling with demigods on the glassy bowl of the sky."
>
> HeroQuest is available from fine retail stores or else direct from
> warehouse 23 (http://www.warehouse23.com/item.cgi?ISS1001). For further
> information, see the Issaries, Inc. website
(http://www.heroquest-rpg.com).
>
> We at Issaries want to thank everyone who helped make this happen. Most of
> all, we want to thank all of you for being so patient while we worked on
> HeroQuest. Without you, we would not be where we are.
