OK, here's my Cunning Plan. (Don't worry, Mark, I'll tear up the card).
Call the book "Kerofinela", but write that title in an illegible runic scrawl, a la HeroQuest (http://www.glorantha.com/graphics/hw_logo.gif)
Then give it a *meaningful*, *marketable* subtitle (e.g. "An Atlas of Dragon Pass"), but write that "proper" name in large, easily legible letters, perhaps superimposed atop the silly made-up word in its illegible runic scrawl.
Best of both worlds? Hope so!
Mikko, my objection is that the name "Kerofinela" means absolutely *nothing* to old-time RuneQuesters, who might nevertheless *love* to buy a proper "Atlas of Dragon Pass". If we don't call it that, would they know they want to buy it?
I worry, too, in case anyone who'd have been looking out for a new "Gloranthan Bestiary," "Creatures of Glorantha," etc. had no idea what "Anaxial's Rooster" was all about and missed the boat (pun intended). Maybe I worry too much... like you suggest, old age and innate crankiness probably have something to do with it.
Cheers, Nick
