As I have already suggested, the revenues of the Italian edition of "Magic", as well as Mythos, will finance the birth of the new Glorantha line. Without GCCs, there would not be enough funds to produce anything, I fear.

From my privileged observation point (Italy), I can assure you: when Mr. Ingellis, Stratelibri's chairman, says "It is going to be produced", it usually hits the shelves in large amounts and with decent artwork (no Dobyski). They have produced dozens of games in few years. And they have just reprinted the old Basic RPG from Chaosium in Italian, too. So I suggest we cast Skin of Life with Duration and hold our breath, after all.
P.S: I am not a Stratelibri employee posting illicit advertising. In fact, my gaming association does not love them very much, and there are some flaws in their first editions of CoC or Stormbringer. But definitely not like the bad service tha AH has done to Glorantha for the last years. And I bet you will love the graphic presentation.
