Will you be able to carry the unfinished works now?

> First of all, UW is returning to its original concept, a (semi)
> regular magazine rather than standalone books. We loved producing
> such works as Sons of Kargzant and In Wintertop's Shadow, but not
> only do they raise thornier IP issues but they also require a
> disproportionate commitment of time, time which neither Simon and I
> can always be able to devote. By shifting to a magazine format, we
> can ensure a more timely production schedule and also put out much
> of the great material we have which might otherwise languish for too
> long if awaiting its own book.
>
> It also means we can be a little more eclectic, covering not just
> mainstream Glorantha, but other uses of the HeroQuest system
> including, needless to say, Mythic Russia!
>
> Secondly, we are shifting to PDF rather than print format. This will
> allow us to be more flexible in terms of the size of individual
> products and also, joy of joys, to be able to use colour throughout,
> something we would love to have been able to do in our print books
> but which would have been outrageously expensive. We do appreciate
> that many people -- ourselves included -- enjoy the tactile
> pleasures of an actual rather than virtual product, so we will be
> selling our products through a PDF house which also offers a
> reasonably priced print-on-demand service, too. Full details will be
> announced as soon as arrangements and negotiations are concluded.
>
> Of course, those of you who are still in credit with UW will not
> lose out, and we will be contacting you in due course with
> information on how this will be handled.
>
> We will be letting people know about the first issue of the new
> format UW as soon as possible through our news yahoogroup (Unspoken-
> Word-News), as well as details of the PDF house we will be using.
> Likewise, we are looking to some exciting extensions of old lines
> and new ones, too, so keep listening for more Unspoken Words! All in
> all, we are looking forward to exploring Glorantha and beyond in
> this new age for HeroQuest.
