ISSARIES, INC. ANNOUNCES GLORANTHACON VIIIThe world of Glorantha beckons and the Glorantha Tribe gathers once more! Issaries, Inc. is pleased to announce that Gloranthacon VIII will be held in Toronto, Canada in March, 2003. Jeff Kyer is coordinating the convention, and we expect that it will be the Gloranthan event of the year. Jeff needs brave volunteers to run events and help out at the Convention. He is trying to gather as many of the old guard and the new to bring to North America the kind of Gloranthan fun that has been far too long absent from these shores - those Europeans shouldn't have all the fun!The theme this year is Lunars. The Empire waxes strong and the exploration of this mighty Colossus is the focus of many upcoming publications. We want to help the Gloranthan Tribe to exchange ideas and views, and to have some fun exploring the Big Red Moon and the Empire along the way. Guests of Honor: Greg Stafford, Mark Galeotti, and John Hughes. Other Guests (so far): Martin Laurie, Robin Laws, Stephen Martin, Sandy Peterson, Roderick Robertson, and Ken Rolston. When is it?: March 7th to 9th, 2003. Where is it?: Glorantha Con is being held at the Toronto Colony Hotel, 89 Chestnut St., Toronto, Ontario.
