Issaries, Inc. |
Update on all things IssariesAt last, we seem to have our site migrated, our email switched over, and our business more or less back to usual. Thanks to everyone for their patience.If you emailed us in the last month or so and never received a response, please email us again, even if only to check that we got your message. Also, lunarpages.com actually has a spam filter, and we are still learning exactly how to use it. We have been checking all the filtered spam to find real messages, but with hundreds of messages coming in per day, it is just too much work to do. So, if you email us and don't get a reply, and think there is a chance your email might have been marked as spam, try emailing us with a general query, or from a different email address, again even if only to make sure we got your message. Also, note that for the time being, www.issaries.com still goes to the old site, not the new one, as a way for us to continue to access that site easily. Once we make the final switch, we'll let you know. (Also, we have had some reports that the DNS changes may not have fully propagated throughout the internet, even after several weeks, so please let us know if you have any problems accessing the site.) WEB SITE UPDATESSince the site migration, our webmaster has had a little time to post some new material, so check out the site. Some fan-submitted character sheets are now available, as is the first article in our Narrator Advice column, some excellent words of wisdom from Brand Robins (and the crew at The Forge) on using Personality Traits in your HeroQuest game.CONTEST EXTENSIONSBecause of the problems with email and site migration, and to ensure that everyone has a fair chance, we are extending the deadlines for the Observer Give-away and the World of Glorantha Art Contest. We will continue to accept entries for both contests until April 15th, 2004.If you still want to enter, send an email as described in the January GTA newsletter. (Only GTA observers can enter the Observer Give-away of Masters of Luck and Death, but anyone can submit artwork for The World of Glorantha.) PRODUCT UPDATESJust a quick note to let everyone know that a number of factors (including the site migration, delays in text and artwork, and other things) have caused a delay to both Gathering Thunder and Under the Red Moon. We'll keep you updated once we have more exact information about the release dates.However, the most excellent news is that the Spanish edition of HeroQuest should go to the printer sometime this week. We are very excited about this development, and wish our licensee Edge Enterprises every success with this venture. As if that was not enough, it seems that we will soon have a Japanese licensee once again! The situation in Japan seems to be settling out, and we expect to formalize a new contract in the next few weeks. |
