IMHO, the best way to deal with this issue would be for Issaries Inc./Chaosium to create a Hero Wars page on their site. They could post art; brainstorming ideas; the result of the Robin's questionnaires; the basic mechanics of the game; a beta or light version of HW. There could be some feedback taken from the people accessing that page. I've seen this being done by other companies (Ral Partha, TSR, AH, etc.). It's a great way to build momentum to a new product.
I don't know about other people, but if I keep informed about the development of HW, I can grasp and share on the difficulties, the hard choices, the moments of pure joy when obstacles are surmounted that are happening and will happen. Sharing all of this will make me feel that HW is really my game. The day I will have that book/box (?) in my hands, it will also be my fullfillment.
