Yep, you're right. I was misremembering it as "Priests *or*
Illuminates"; in fact, of course, you have to be an illuminate
*and* either a priest or a pretty hefty Lunar ritual magician
to worship the Goddess Herself.
OK, then: priesthood of Pavis would qualify you for membership
of the Imperial Senate (Moonson Sage subcult). Plus one Lune to
hang around the Pavis temple. And all the hallucinogenic red
berries you can eat. And a souvenir prayer-mat from Torang.

In fairness, copies of "Drastic Resolutions Volume Prax" and
"Enclosure" were only revealed to the public last weekend. I'd
leave a little longer for the Chaosiumites to get home, unpack
their luggage, carry it into work, and arrange their stocks,
prices and sales with Wizard's Attic, if I were you. (If they're
shipping it from Canada to California, allow even more time).

Hurrah! It's nice to know there's so much coming out, isn't it?

Definitely not. Stacks of publications are carried off in all
directions by distributors: the Con is a collection and drop-
off point for Reaching Moon Megacorp, inter alia. Very few
items are only available at Cons: I don't know if the Rufelza
pamphlet will be sold; my Songbook is always a free handout;
the "Rough Guide to Glamour" was *so* rough we don't want to
sell it to the general public yet. But most zines and books
are available through the Megacorp and others -- see my post
in V5 #84 for a *mostly* current product list from David Hall.

Order from their usual suppliers, allowing a little time for
them to stock up on new products. It's the heart of the con-
vention season in the USA, with Origins and GenCon bracketing
our Glorantha-Con; people in the industry are rushing around
like ferrets with slow-burning matches up their backsides,
without much time to sit down and take stock. (And the best
staff are off enthusing at the conventions, so maybe the tele-
phone order service isn't as good as it might otherwise be;
this is a charitable guess, as I've never rung Wizard's Attic).
Give 'em a week, then ring 'em again, is my advice. Or try
emailing the publishers directly: they usually like making
direct sales, as their proceeds are higher.
