We'd really like to publish Praxpak! However, I suspect we'd infringe Avalon Hill's RuneQuest copyright if we did. From my own experience, getting a publication laid out is the hardest and most time consuming job! Also getting decent finished scenarios for a pack is very hard work.

UK distribution isn't a problem for us (and luckily there are a lot of UK RQers). Distribution elsewhere, especially to the USA, is a problem. One aspect is the physical problem of of literally shifting 1,000 or so copies of a supplement or book overseas. Distribution of The Collected Griselda was something of a nightmare!

Convulsion '94. Warning! We only have around 40 places left. Write to the Tales of the Reaching Moon editorial address for details.

Issue #11 has been delayed "due to technical difficulties". Wyrms Footprints is much the same. I hope to get #11 out sometime in December, but as the days slip by I'm not so sure. I can't see WF out before late January at the very earliest.

The reprints have now been officially cancelled due to the lack of interest in issue #5. However, MOB has mumbled something to me about putting together a "Best of Tales #1 to #4 + #6 + some other new stuff". How's about it, MOB?

Anyway, back to the Home of the Bold 2 grindstone...

Cheers,

David
