MOST IMPORTANTLY:
While it was my firm belief and intention to have Griffin Mountain
back from the printers by now, a series of mistakes and delays
by the binders of the book have led it to now being almost 6 weeks
behind delivery schedule. Since I know that all of you would prefer to
not have a book with 16 pages upside down in it, they have had to
print the books again and then find a new binder to bind them. Thus,
I won’t be taking delivery of Griffin Mountain until late next week.
Deliveries to those that have ordered the book already will commence
immediately thereafter. My sincerest apologies for this. This is not
the way I would like to do business, and will make every effort to not
have something like this happen the next time around.
WHAT’S A GLORANTHAN CLASSIC?
Moon Design (Colin Phillips and Rick Meints) has obtained the license
to reprint all of the Chaosium original RQ2 supplements. Each will
contain all of the original text. The information has not been changed
or updated to a more current rules version like Pendragon Pass
or Hero Wars, although we did clean up a lot of the original spelling
mistakes. Also, we have brought the layout into the 21st century,
and added a lot of new artwork to make each book more visual.
The only thing that is hard to fit into a book is a large map, so those
have been reduced to full page size. The books are available in
Hardcover and Softcover. The first two volumes in the series are:
VOLUME I - PAVIS & BIG RUBBLE
More Softcovers will soon be winding their way back to me and into
shops, at least the shops that Esdevium and Wizard's Attic distribute
to. I still have a handful of the Hardcovers left.
PRICE: Hardcover UK £45 (US $70), Softcover UK £30 (US $45).
Price includes international shipping.
VOLUME II - GRIFFIN MOUNTAIN
Yes, all 256 pages of it are still at the printers for the next two
weeks. The hardcover and softcover versions will both be
available from the outset. Some of the new stuff we've added include
some magazine articles about Balazaring clans written by Rudy
and Paul, a large section on running Gloranthan campaigns by
Greg Stafford, and several pages of designer's notes. We even
added in a few of the new bits that were in Griffin Island, like Granny
Keeneye, the maps of the major Inns in the three Citadels, and some
of the player handouts.
PRICE: Hardcover UK £40 (US $60), Softcover UK £25 (US $40).
Price includes international shipping.
SPECIAL DEAL IF YOU ORDER BOTH VOL. I & II SOFTCOVER BOOKS: Get a Pavis & Big Rubble Softcover and a Griffin Mountain Softcover for the combo price of £50 or $75. I'll have to ship both books together, so that means you'd have to wait until Griffin Mountain comes back from the printers to receive them. The price includes international shipping.
HOW CAN YOU ORDER THEM?
You can advance order Griffin Mountain. I should be able to ship
them out by June 24th, if not earlier, depending on when I get it
delivered (finally) from the printers. Pavis & Big Rubble can ship now.
Payments in US Dollars can be by Paypal or money order.
Payments in UK Pounds can be by cheque or money order.

WHAT'S ALL THIS ABOUT PAYPAL?
Please feel free to check out their website: http://www.paypal.com to
find out more, but here are the basics. They allow you to create an
account to send money to other people with Paypal accounts (like me).
All you really need is an email address and a credit card (or similar).
Many international customers are welcome, so this is a great way for
people who want to pay in other currencies to send payment.
There is NO fee for sending money (I get charged a little, but
that's my problem).
WHAT COMES AFTER VOLUME II ?
Volume III is the Cult Compendium, which will contain all of
Cults of Terror, Cults of Prax, and a number of other cults published
in magazines and in Troll Pak. Volume IV is slated to be Borderlands
and Plunder, plus a few other bits and pieces. As for delivery dates
and availability, please don't pester us about them. If we had a solid
timetable with dates for when they will be ready we would have
published it. We will make an announcement when we have more info.
Thanks for your time,
Rick Meints
