retail copies are shipped. If the two books are available close enough
together, both books will be sent at the same time, otherwise they will be
shipped separately. Anonymous Rune Masters will still receive the gift books.

(ISS 1301), Storm Tribe (ISS 1310). Your name will still be listed in the next

gift copy of each HeroQuest core book and supplement
whose first printing occurs at least 4 weeks after your
donation is complete.

for up to sixty minutes, which may be recorded but not published
without permission of Issaries, Inc. Be a true insider!
- Hero password access to online information (such as advance
review copies of pre-edited manuscripts for HeroQuest
book submissions. Be part of the process!)
- A Free Skullbuster drink at Glorantha Trading
Association Party.
Heroes also have access to the Deep Sources, a collection of ancient
manuscripts taken from the depths of Greg Stafford's filing cabinet and rendered into electronic format through the assistance of several volunteers. Many are more than twenty years old, and they provide a unique insight into the development of Glorantha. They represent some of the oldest source material about Glorantha, and are, for the most part, previously unpublished. Initiates and Runemasters can read about Kalikos Icebreaker to get a taste of this rare information available only to Heroes.
Glorantha Trading Association Party
This will be held at official Gloranthan Conventions, or other conventions as circumstances allow. Entry will be limited to Initiates and above, plus a few guests. The main purpose is to have a chance for Glorantha Trading Association participants to meet the staff and officials of Issaries, Inc. (as well as Gloranthan authors and artists), and to pre-release any news or gossip to members.
