So a question for @Ian A. Thomson and anyone else who can answer it.

The files sizes for the new Pavis ebook editions are HUGE, some topping 200 mb. I'm not all that up on epublishing but is there a way to reduce the file sizes on your end without having to zip them?

Have you tried "print to pdf" with different resolution?

I've just run #4 through a PDF optimiser, and can only get a 181MB file down to 165MB with images at 300dpi, or 149MB at 150dpi. So unless there's something else clogging up the file (e.g. duplicated page background images), I'm not sure what else could be done. That can be tested by removing the page backgrounds, but that would be a quicker job for the author than for me ...

An Unofficial Buyer's Guide to RuneQuest and Glorantha lists everything currently available for the game and setting, across 60 pages. "Lavishly illustrated throughout, festooned with hyperlinks" - Nick Brooke. The Voralans presents Glorantha's magical mushroom humanoids, the black elves. "A wonderful blend of researched detail and Glorantha crazy" - Austin Conrad. The Children of Hykim documents Glorantha's shape-changing totemic animal people, the Hsunchen. "Stunning depictions of shamanistic totem-animal people, really evocative" - Philip H.
