Yes, you are true.
And if i was so disapointed when i read this schedule, is perhaps i
play for 10 years with the same characters (with runequest,
herowars, and then a personal system), and our campaign takes place
now in the begining of 1624 with characters implicated in the
political events of the period !
So it is quite difficult to implicated more and more the characters
without the "official" version of the history.
Of course, i don't play exactly what is in the books, but Greg and
issaries are better than me to imagine the future of glorantha.
So i am every time surprise with the informations i read in the
official books, and me and my players like that !!!
So we try to play in respecting the important events describe in
these books...
But one of the solution is to create lunar characters with the
informations of ILH1 ? I don't know, i don't have it yet.
Well, i know that issaries can't publish all the books they want,
and the shedule is a question of choice, and i respect that.
But in my opinion, this schedule is dangerous (what will happen if
not enough new plyers will be actracted by the new rules ?), and
it's difficult to me to wait for books that i need, and that are
announced for months...
But OK, this post was a selfish one (is my english correct ?) and i
will support issaries
