Hello, Uz and Argrathi and everyone in between!

Here's a short Glorantha update from Chaosium....

DEFINITE
* Work is progressing on the skirmish miniatures game which Chaosium is
co-producing with Stratelibri of Italy; we're hoping for a '97 release date. Stratelibri is already at work on the line of 25mm miniatures for the game.

• The first of a series of Gloranthan sourcebooks released as trade paperbacks should hit the shelves in summer of '97. The first book will be a one-volume introduction to Glorantha, the perfect book to hand to a friend to introduce the world. The second and third books will detail the main combatants in the Dragon Pass Hero Wars. Greg Stafford is the principal writer and we're handling editing and production in-house. Like KING OF SARTAR, these books will contain Glorantha information that is not tied to any game system.

SPECULATIVE
* The new Gloranthan rpg will appear some time in 1998 after we have gotten
rolling with the miniatures game, reestablished Glorantha's market presence, and prepared a good deal of new Gloranthan data. For now we're focusing on the '97 releases.

• Gloranthan fiction is also slated to begin appearing in '98.

I'll see you all here on the Digest,

Rob Heinsoo
Chaosium
