Press Release
Issaries is pleased to announce it now has a second employee. Stephen Martin,
known for his Gloranthan publications of the "Book of Drastic Resolutions"
series, was hired as Administrator in August 2000. He will perform all administrative
functions (as well as editing final text and layout), thereby freeing Greg
Stafford to do what he does best: write about Glorantha.
"Business is way better than I’d hoped," says Greg Stafford, publisher and no
longer the sole employee. "The game and books have been selling well and
hiring Stephen has allowed me to write (and rewrite and rewrite) new material. I
am in creative heaven right now, and every Glorantha fan ought to be delighted with
the new information that is flowing from my fingertips."
Writing is not all Stafford is doing.
"I’m also finally doing the job of my dreams by being Line Developer.
Glorantha has always been bigger than just me. I’m working with many talented writers,
both professional and amateur, to produce a broad range of materials. I am no
longer a bottleneck of information, but a conduit for material from others as
well. We will surely be able to maintain our schedule with Stephen working
here. And his editorial talents are very welcome."
Stephen’s editorial and layout talents are already visible. Anaxial’s Roster,
the latest release, is devoid of the many typos and layout errors that plagued
the first releases.
"The books look great now," says Stafford, "and Glorantha is growing again."
Thunder Rebels, the next book in the series, will
be released in December. Following that is Storm Tribe
in March, then Sartar Rising! in June. A fiction
series is scheduled to begin at about that time.
