Here's what I *hope* will happen: That the flow of "Out of House" Gloranthan material (Digest, Enclosure, Trade Talk, Web Sites, etc), much of which is the very sort of "Gimpyish" stuff you and I like, either continues unabated or even expands as a flood of new "In House" Hero Wars stuff arrives from Issaries. No matter how HEROIC the focus of HW, there will be new information on the peoples and places of Glorantha and that will be a Good Thing 'cause that will give all the wonderfully talented people in the Gloranthan community new inspiration to fill in the blanks.

And in the worst-case scenario (that HW tanks and doesn't sell a lick) then chances are we still eventually get to see the background stuff in the form of WIP's from Wizard's Attic, so why not hope for the best?
