So far there has only been one person who has bothered to fill out the questionnaire at the bottom of my original posting. (I'm pasting it directly below in this message so that people don't have to go back and dig it out again if they decide to respond to it after all...) From the response so far I can only conclude that Gloranthaphiles are not at all interested in having an Encyclopedia Glorantha. If anyone out there thinks this would be a valuable thing to have please do fill out the questionnaire and return it to me. Otherwise the will be no Glorantha Encyclopedia (by me at any rate).

2) Each additional 'Pack' would add new information to the basic Pack or brand new articles (if they hadn't already been identified). Clients would be able to pick and choose with additional 'Packs' they want to include so that those who are only interested in Prax need not concern themselves with Pamaltela. How much would you be willing to pay to receive a Supplemental Pack?
$7.50 Cdn (3.01 British Pounds, $4.90 US, or $8.31 Australian) $15.00 Cdn (6.02 British Pounds, $9.80 US, or $16.62 Australian) $22.50 Cdn (9.03 British Pounds, $14.70 US, or $24.93 Australian)Other:
How many 'Supplemental Packs' would you be interested in receiving if you were to pursue this idea?
3) As new publications are issued by magazines and Chaosium updates will be made to existing records. To obtain this updates it is envisioned that clients woul 'subscribe' to an update service. The present concept would have a separate subscription' for each Pack. How much would you be willing to pay per month for a subscription to a particular 'Pack'?

How many 'Subscriptions' would you be interested in receiving if you were to pursue this idea?
4) If you were to become a client of this service would you prefer to have the information delivered electronically in digital form or as hard copy printed pages?
If you chose the electronic option above what type of computer do you have? PC, Mac, Amiga
What operating system are you using?
Do you already own Clarios Works or Microsoft Works?
Do you have internet access?
5) Feel free to make comments, observations, and the like here. I'm most interested in knowing as much about what you'd like to see as possible.

Thanks for particpating in this survey. I'll send along the overall results when all the responses are in.
