That they exist in fifteen copies _is_ the harm.

So you know the text of Robin's glorantha book? Or are you just guessing? I do happen to know that the text of what Greg writes as source material is not "rephrased" for use in an introductory material but rather used as a source of ideas. I used the Entekosiad, the Fortunate Succession and the Glorious ReAscent extensively for the Glorantha: Intro and others have used those sources similarly for ILH-1. In both cases, the amount of Greg's material that actually gets used is closer to 5% rather than 50%.

Neither Greg or Rick has said anything of the sort. The only information that we have is this text won't be reprinted ever again on the Ebay page. Greg may make big noises about it being republished commericially but those among us familiar with his production schedule and actual releases emit hollow laughter at this point.

But that's just it. Look at the Ebay page. It (and the other text) are not going to be reprinted. Ever.

Soon as in "next year"?
