We need more consistent publishable material something that can be put
out on a shelf . Glorantha\RQ is probably losing more players per
year than it is gaining.

You have not noticed then that since you started playing at most one
product, apart form fanzines, has been published.

I take it you never actually read a copy. All Arcane material is
generic. Unless of course you actually mean Valkyrie.

As I said email. Greg may be sure of his legal position but I am not.

I was not talking about 'published' sources. I think most of the
people on the list are probably like me, i.e. buying stuff that they
already have to support RQ\Glorantha e.g. Apple Lane, Snakepipe Hollow
and Wyrms Footprints. And are you telling me the RMM crew don't fire
Greg and Sandys unpublished stuff amongst themselves.
