[CON] Glorantha Con VIII Needs you
Steven White
Glorantha Con Needs You!
========================
The world of Glorantha beckons and the Glorantha Tribe gathers
once more! Glorantha Con VIII will be held in Toronto, Canada,
on March 7-9, 2003.
Hero Wars RuneQuest Hero Quest
Guests of Honor
---------------
Greg Stafford, Mark Galeotti and John Hughes
Other guests (so far): Martin Laurie, Robin Laws, Stephen Martin,
Sandy Petersen, Ken Rolston, and Roderick Robertson
We need brave volunteers to run events for us and to help out at
the Convention. We're trying to gather as many of the old guard
and the new to bring to North America the kind of Gloranthan fun
that has been far too long absent from these shores - those
Europeans shouldn't have all the fun!
The theme this year is Lunars. The Empire waxes strong and the
exploration of this mighty Colossus is the focus of many upcoming
publications. We want to help the Gloranthan Tribe to exchange
ideas and views, and to have some fun exploring the Big Red Moon
and the Empire along the way.

have to be Lunar in nature but it is encouraged.

pre-registration cost. Running a second event gets you in free.
