- That's a good point -- I really liked Rhudiprrt, but that was largely because I
- was fortunate enough to have someone mail to me all 6 issues available at the
- time. However, after that point, I occasionally hear rumors of Rhudiprrt #7
- being available sometime from MU Press, but I don't really count on it.

- Kind of hard to really get enthusiastic about following a continuing storyline
- when it takes months between installments. Kind of like waiting for the next
- Star Wars movie...
