     I have not playtested and I will not comment on HW but I'd like to=20
     suggest some marketing tips re the new game;
=20
     1: Freebie handouts for retail trade to give away with a simple cut=20
     down rule set and a beginning adventure. I think that with the death=20
     of magazines this will get people hooked.
=20
     2: Colour! colour! colour! We need to accept that to catch attention=20
     we need colour piccies, and good ones in handouts, flyers and the main=
=20
     rulebook. Glorantha can compete with WoD and others if it shows itself=
=20
     in the right light. Let's have runes in 3D, distorted and ethereal,=20
     not flat 2D fonts.
=20
     3: Commision some adventures and get them published in the remaining=20
     print magazines, also get SJG to run them in Pyramid.
=20
     4: After a year license GURPS: Glorantha. It will drag in loyal SJG=20
     gamers and sell more of the Issaries product. For those gamers who=20
     like a different (traditional) rules approach they will have system=20
     very close to the old paradigm to use, and many GURPS players will=20
     pick up and play anew world very quickly. [it will generate revenue]
