I can fully understand it.
Doing books costs a lot of money, and when you get your money back by the
sales of these great books, you have money again to make more books.
But at first you have to make sure that the first bunch of books sell very
well, so that there will be enaugh money to make the new books.
Dragon Pass and Prax sell much better than other parts of Glorantha (belive
me, i know what i am talking about... i can see it in the sales of Tradetalk
magazine).
With about 4 to 6 books a year i say wholeheartly:
Go with the books that most glorantha fans are interested in first, THEN
move on to new territories, next year.
As far as i understood the plan there will be
- Sartar book - Pavis book - Whitewall book - Prax book
And there is always Gregs own "The Great Argrath Campaign"... next year...

The authors continue to point out that the Pavis book will not only be a reprint of old information, but also a lot of new stuff... (and maybe a capmaign like in the Sartar book?).

I agree to that.
I WANT to see the book about the West, Seshnela and Loskalm, as i do wan´t to see the book about Aldryami, the Oceans campaign etc. As long the books turn out to be as good as i think they will, i have no problem to wait one or two more years.
Looking forward to a bright gloranthan future (and i am not speaking about the 4th Age ;-) ).
Cheers
