2. There have been scattered references over the years to an updated version of the Gloranthan boardgame Dragon Pass - is this still being worked on?

MonkeyBees wrote:Sorry for being unclear. I believe Fabian Kuechler was the driving force behind Friends of Glorantha, which contributed to work on "Harmast's Saga".
Glad to hear a new release of Dragon Pass is a possibility, and I hope to see the day when I can buy a copy or three

Vile wrote in Q&A with Greg Stafford:Question for Greg - what prompted the new website The Stafford Codex - are we likely to see new Gloranthan material? (Actually what has me excited are the Oaxaca pages.)
Greg Stafford wrote in Q&A with Greg Stafford:Vile wrote in Q&A with Greg Stafford:(Actually what has me excited are the Oaxaca pages.)I will, however, be posting some new material on my favorite new project, a book on Oaxacan prehistory, stories and adventures of my wife and I while we lived there visiting ruins, studying Zapotec shamanic medicine, and making some wonderful friends.

Vile wrote in Q&A with Greg Stafford:In the wake of the band getting back together, are you considering that it would now be possible for Chaosium to re-issue a lot of their old Gloranthan products, at least in PDF and PoD, like WotC did with their "every edition available again" initiative? I would love to be able to get a complete set of Wyrm's Footnotes, for example, even if only in electronic format.Dungeons & Dragons Classics - Every edition available again
Vile wrote in Q&A with Greg Stafford:I noticed of course that Rick had nabbed the big fancy chair, but I'm sorry to hear health issues are the cause. I hope everything turns out all right and you get to enjoy a well-earned and somewhat more relaxing break / retirement than getting the Chaosium back on its legs would have been.
Wait, did I give away my age by adding "the" in front of Chaosium there? :P
I'm happy to note that Rick has posted elsewhere on this board indicating that back-catalogue PDFs may indeed be in the offing, so it certainly looks like that avenue for throwing money at you guys is going to open up.
