Yes, something to be avoided, that republishing. Trollpak 10 anyone?

I sure don't want even more reprints. I'm thinking of new material. But maybe you've got something wrong with the armpit comment, or maybe the bunch of us who keep writing about doing something with Prax are all idiots.
>...but my amazement at the apparent clamour for Prax material...
Many people on this list write several times a day about something in Glorantha. Maybe they all like Glorantha and are interested in it. Other people are amazed that anyone could be so interested in worlds which don't exist. Same thing. You simply don't have much interest in Prax and so don't understand others who do. Other people may be amazed at your interest in the Gloranhtan sky, because they don't understand such interest.

Like I said, I don't want just more reprints. I hope the collective efforts
of Prax fans don't result in only that.
But why be content with only one fantasy world when there are so many? Maybe
because many people like Glorantha. Why not be content with what you like?
Others only read Tolkien, or any of the other fantasy works. Others limit
themselves to only Fantasy or only Science Fiction. There are parts of
Glorantha which I'm not interested in. You are not much interested in Prax.
You don't have to be involved in it then, but those who are interested can d
o something with it. You go ahead and wear ruts in the parts of Glorantha
you want to, and we'll do so where we want to.
