Financially the fan base collectively will be risking more than Chaosium
itself is, one presumes. On the other hand, compare the "opportunity

stuff, as compared to the fan-in-the-street sticking $100 in an envelope.

You may be inredulous and/or besides yourself to hear me say it (or
see my type it, anyway), but I think C. has crazy, crazy notion that
most existing Gloranfans will play HW, as a game. And I have this

even Orlanthi All.)
