Issaries, Inc. |
Coming Books RenamedWe have been hard at work moving the Issaries office, dealing with our new business arrangement with Steve Jackson Games, and (most of all) getting HeroQuest ready for its release this summer. (For more information on some of the above, see the Glorantha Reborn article from Game Trade Magazine. Gloranthan Times are coming!In the meantime, we wanted to share the results of our most recent contest with you. There were some problems with the polling (which has led our webmaster, Nils Weinander, to upgrade the relevant utility on the site), but from start to finish one title was the clear favorite. We wanted to see what you, the Tribe, thought of the submissions. And you spoke in great numbers! We do want to thank the almost 40 people who sent in over 100 suggested titles. After looking at all of them, we selected MASTERS OF LUCK AND DEATH as the title for this first book in the Hero Bands series. It has the benefit of sounding interesting to newcomers while still having a lot of meaning for older fans. Masters of Luck and Death was suggested in-house, and did not come from one of the submissions, none of which felt right for this book. We are sorry that we cannot award the prize for this contest to anyone. But we are keeping some of the suggestions for future use. So if you submitted a title, keep your contact information current! On a related note, we want to announce that we have also changed the title of Kerofinela to the more approachable Dragon Pass: Land of Thunder. We feel that Dragon Pass has a nostalgic value in the gaming community that will make it more recognizeable than Kerofinela. Dragon Pass: Land of Thunder is scheduled for an October 2003 release. Masters of Luck and Death: Hero Bands, Volume 1 is scheduled for a December 2003 release. |
