I know. I was saying that splitting order would be the solution on a larger scale than this, but I know that this is not feasible in the level of production we're talking about.

After being involved in many different aspects of the printing industry, I can only say that there is no way to make everyone happy. Except livestreaming/weekly reporting on the shipping and blame everything on the whims of international trade, but even that carries with it the "why didn't we print in X country" -😕 I get why Chaosium have decided to go with a Valve Time approach for the future. Other studios are going with the pdf-preorder of a physical print, but that is going to be horrendously bad as delays will only continue to increase sales lost to disinterest or piracy. We are already reaching a point where non-western countries are not able to purchase printed books due to exchange rates. It's a rough industry these days, and it is not getting any easier with the degradation of trade networks across the planet. The costs of shipping things to four different warehouses across four or three continents is huge for any company, and while I'd normally reccomend regionally-based printers (for instance having one Pacific-based printer for AUS and NZ) but that is not doable for a company this size. With the way things are going these days, I am unsure if we will ever go back to any sort of normal, as we are not going to see less events affecting trade in the coming years. It also begs to question the sustainability of regular printing runs.

That actually reminds me about a thought I had. What ARE DemiGods? Are they bound by the Compromise?

Fuck yes! I will die on the hill that such a hack is possible.

Well, all I can tell is that I am going to need more diagrams for the rest of glorantha. Rad stuff, thank you for doing it!

Is there somewhere this is written down?

Supercool! Are you running the expanded version of SSiS? Like, more than six Seasons? I just got my own version going and have sent them through the different Adulthood Initiations. Biggest hurdle is actually the would-be shaman in the group when it comes to actual initiation.

I do!

Just finished my first read-through this morning. Pretty great stuff!

Does the report say anything about the content of the Mythology book?

As far as I gathered from my readings of the texts: Isn't the primary problem with extramaritial sex not dishonesty? Like, this is a matter of honor. If everyone agree on a Open Relationship, that is not a problem, but non-consensual nonmonogamy is the dealbreaker?

I have this strange sensation that either the White Bull Team didn't want to be gaming public, or Jeff began running into the fact that his game is filled with rules that are not out yet <_<

Well. I guess that's as close as I am going to get to a actual answer to that. Alrighty. Biz as usual. Just needed to be a bit more inquisitive.

Alrighty. So, that's good. But, honestly. Is that a *never/won't*? Because it's not all that clear whether or not y'all are still under a contract.

So. Now we're in the weeds. This is a TimeStamped to VeVe's AMA where the question was asked. "Helping with educating"? I am not sure if they've been listening to the feedback so far, but I think the reason why people are not eager with getting Chaosium involved in this is *exactly* because they're educated on these topics. Planned drops in Q2. Huh. So. Are we gonna have to have this dance in two months again?
