Press ReleaseIssaries, Inc. Press ReleaseOakland, CA February 8, 2001 Pavis and Big Rubble Detailed in French Hero Wars SupplementsMultisim, the renowned French game publisher, has just released its first Hero Wars supplements in the French language. The two books are titled Pavis/Hero Wars and Pavis/Glorantha. Each is a 160-page book with maps, charts, and illustrations.Content of these books is primarily taken from books of the same title that were previously published as part of the now out-of-print RuneQuest game system. The statistics were updated to conform to the Hero Wars game system, which is the modern Glorantha roleplaying game. Thus far, these are only available in French. When asked if they would be available in English, Greg Stafford (president of Issaries, Inc.) replied. "Yes, Issaries, Inc. plans to publish these books as official Hero Wars supplements in English. They are approved for the French, but the job was rushed and we plan to make changes to our own edition." Multisim plans to release editions of these books soon for its German edition of Hero Wars, and future licensees will likely publish them as well. When asked why this material was published in French and not English, Stafford explained. "The background text for the setting and adventures is available in English now through Moon Design Publications. We don't want to step on our licensor's sales. We plan to put much of the Hero Wars information on-line soon. "More importantly, however, this is old stuff for us. We wanted to produce new material for Hero Wars first. The real action starts in Dragon Pass, where the new books are set, rather than the fascinating but much-detailed backwater of Pavis."
