This is Andrew emailing:
I would just like to say that Heroes of Wisdom may not be perfect but it
is pretty damn good for its money. I have been priviliged enough to see
Ingo's 3rd English draft of his Jonstown booklet and its up there with
Pavis and the Big Rubble for great information (not that I have actually
ever owned a copy of these rarities - just borrowed).
At the moment as far as I am aware there is nothing substantial published
on Jonstown (in fact to me it has only ever been a place on the map) and the
booklet for Heroes of Wisdom is a great first step in correcting this.
Martin's comments are true but considering the great drought in published
RQ/Glorantha information for A$6 it represents great value for explaining
some useful information for anyone who wants to have an adventure in or
around Jonstown.
I would like to hope that an English translation of at least the key
building numbers will be distributed to the distributors who can then
pass it onto the purchasers (are you listening Joerg ?)
As a last minute gloat I'm currently printing up 50 copies of the
Entekosiad for Greg to sell at the con and he has said that it is to go
no further as this is the Australian only RQ Con DU edition. Chortle! (I
must admit that the TOTRM heavies will also be getting a copy but hey the
rest of us can stun you with information for a while (maybe - I've never
been that keen on working out just who Pelanda's third cousin on the
distaff side actually married in the pantheon :-) )
I hope no one takes offence. The Con organising is stressing me out.
Off to pick up David Dunham from the airport and then set up the Con site
(and somehow finish Aleham Ratsbane's costume before midnight tonight.
Aaaaarrrgghh!!)
Cheers, Andrew
PS Joerg, you are an honorary Australian so you will be getting a copy of
the Entekosiad.(I wonder if Peter is coming to the Con <smirk, in the
nicest possible way>).
