of a point of POW has been discontinued in favor of using Hero Points to
increase your GTA relationship ability rating. Hero Points earned from
Hero Wars can be transferred.

To Contribute by Credit Card
Our preferred method is for you to make the contribution
directly using the PayPal system on the internet. Go to
www.PayPal.com
for details. When sending payment, use
<greg#glorantha.com> as the recipient (substitute @ for #). If you are
creating your own account with PayPal, list us as
your referrer! Once you have transferred the funds,
email us your membership information, as described below.
Please note that to cover our processing costs,
you must add a 5% surcharge when transferring funds.
Please note also that if you join PayPal as a new member, you will have to
wait while your membership is being confirmed before you will be able to
transfer amounts over $100. This can take from 3 days up to several weeks,
depending on how quickly you can verify information on your checking account
activity. As the minimum amount to pay through PayPal to join the GTA is
$105 you have to wait for this confirmation before you can send the money.

Hey, isn't this really just a way to get money?
Yes, of course it is. But as all Orlanthi
know, gifts are good and worthy. Issaries, Inc. is a tiny publication house with
unlimited creativity but very limited resources.

The Fine Print
Glorantha, Hero Wars, HeroQuest, the Glorantha
Trading Association (GTA), PayPal, and
King of Dragon Pass are copyright and
trademarked by their respective owners. GTA donations
are wholly voluntary but must be in U.S. funds payable
to "Issaries, Inc." and are not refundable. If you
wish to donate by credit card, Issaries Inc. will add
a five percent processing charge.
GTA memberships are not transferable and must be in
the name of a natural person, to be named when the
donation is made. Each
Hero's phone call with Greg Stafford must be scheduled
in advance; it must occur within 18 months of joining
the Association; it may be recorded but without
reproduction rights; and Issaries Inc. may put a
transcript or summary online. Issaries Inc. may require
non-disclosure agreements for member access
to on-line information. Benefits of the Glorantha Trading
Association may be revised if the Gods of Glorantha see
fit. Absent prior agreement, communications between GTA
members and Issaries Inc. on Issaries Inc. channels (such
as its internet mailing list) may be published by Issaries
Inc. without further permission. Failure to respect
membership terms may result in expulsion from the GTA,
termination of GTA benefits and other appropriate
consequences.
