Thank chew
Lets hope that this is not sympathetic of the Glorantha Tribe's unwillingness to engage in the subject at hand (if in doubt read the subject line again).
I need this information for a 200 page book (in 8 pt type) that I'm producing - entitled "Fun in the Sun: A Tourist's guide to the unseen Empire".
I've paid lots of money into this "Gloranthan Fan Community" product over the years and I'm increasingly frustrated at the level of support that I receive in return.
