Laurent labrot makes some interesting points about suitcases.

>First, what about photocopy of really rare material, natural thing or no=
t?

Unnatural. Wrong. Don't do it.

>Second. why not publishing some old material on line

They have.

>If AH and Chaosium agree

They don't.

>if the Gloranthan future game will be great, it's because he mix a lot
>of creations and traditions for more than 20 years of imagination
>and fantasy

Agreed, though in the long run we are all Gregged.

>If rejuvenation will come, it's part due to young people, new gamers

True. But do they really want to buy a set of old photocopies when they can buy a professional looking TSR publications instead?

Publishing books and magazines takes a lot of effort. I would prefer Issaries use their limited staff and time to print a new Gloranthan game which will appeal to new and old gamer alike, rather than delay the new game by spending time on old material that won't convert new players to Glorantha and which many older RQers already have.

Issaries Inc. has to make money to survive. New games and supplements sell more copies! Old reprints sell less copies. It is very simple economics.

All Hail the Economic Moon!
