If so, this support comes at the price of shafting everybody else that didn't have the resources to go to the con and weren't good enough friends.

So why couldn't this have been marketed as a fan publication?

And this thing of beauty should be restricted only to a tiny few?
>Roll against your Spirit of Glorantha.
I have and it comes up wanting when there's clear evidence of a policy of elitist self-adulation.
>I'm sure this info will see further publication.
