Hello friends

The CHRISTMAS SALE of The Chaos Society is half way up (the special prices
will be valid only until December 6th).

Some items are only available in small amounts anymore.

Dougie.

Apologies once again.... (grins meekly at the Mods!!) But not having sold
anything on ebay for a while I find that it has changed somewhat in my absence
and that all the items I have listed so far are showing as available to the UK
only. I am in the process of changing all the auditions up so far - and adding a
few more. I will, however, slip worldwide at cost!

More going up today as well - including Tarsh War and Rough Guide to Glamour.

We now return you to your regular programming!!!

Actually that's totally not the case here. Almost 100 percent wrong for
the story. ^_^

Say more. If in the end he wins by a marginal victory, that means
someone else really won?

What Ian said.

It's all about the character's rivalry with the new hotshot opponent, who has
undoubtedly got stooges among the other racers who will try and nobble the PC,
will have rigged some of the obstacles in the race, possibly even have tried to
sabotage the PC's vehicle.

If you realy want to have the possibility of neither winning, that's easy. Just
look at your level of victory at the end. You don't need to invent new
mechanics.

Not rarities as such, but for those of you interested in Mongoose's take on

As much as I hate to spam the lists, with the imminent release of the full
"bells-and-whistles" Sartar book I am selling off some Gloranthan rarities on
ebay to help pay for it including:

The first copy of SARTAR ever sold!! This is the Tentacles pre-release edition
with a different cover and no maps or illustrations, but all the content.

It was the first pre-order placed before Tentacles and has been signed and
verified by Jeff Richard.

So your chance to grab a very special limited edition before the general release
at Dragonmeet later this month.

Other listings include - the first copy of the rules sold (I bought these at the
same time, they've not been signed you'll just have to believe me! lol); Shreds
of Light and Reason and Esrolia: Land of Ten Thousand Goddesses from Continuum
2008; Revealed Mythologies; and The Four Scrolls Of Revelation (from Convulsion
2002). More to follow over the next few days.

Howdy all -

The Facebook HeroQuest: Roleplaying in Glorantha page is mighty active. But
since not everyone is on Facebook, I've made it easier to see what is new on
that page by just inserting a Page Widget on the glorantha.com page. Just go to
our homepage and scroll down. Lots of material there on our next HeroQuest
release and new stuff every day!

Ian. It does seem the consensus.

And certainly race 1 has this element, as it is all about the woman who has
replaced him as being beyond Slick and flat-out Frictionless.

Later races may have more complex dynamics. (or not, if the player really
runs with the one-on-one competition.)
