I'd advise no-one to take free (or otherwise) legal advice from me, but
While this is true, they define a periodical as coming out twice per
isn't Chaosium policy that _periodicals_ (or perhaps, "periodicals")
_don't_ require their specific approval?
year. I don't meet that requirement, don't think Danny does. Hell,
sometimes even Tales doesn't!
BTW Danny, I thought you were gonna send me a copy of Chaosiana in
exchange for Drastic?

have *any* authority to place their stuff in Glorantha?
Dave Cheng mentioned this to me today as well. But you misread it
apparently, it said "RuneQuest" developers wanted, not "Glorantha"
developers wanted. Avalon Hill has no authority to set anything in the
world of Glorantha. And never again will, I am sure.
I have also heard that AH has someone who is nominally in charge of RQ
in-house, though I doubt that is his "real" job. Anyone out there know
his name? I am guessing it is the Bruce Hall who is running a game at
Gen-Con, mentioned by someone a couple of Digests ago.
Oh yeah, the Poll.
1. I first discovered Glorantha Christmas 1980 (one of the best presents
I ever got). Loved it from the start, especially for Glorantha. Bought
everything as it came out (except Griffin Mountain -- curse me for a
fool), spent the next ten years finding and paying a pretty penny for all
the stuff I missed in the previous five years.
2. Don't have time to play much, and there aren't all that many people
out here for me to play with, anyways. Suck as a gamemaster, so I don't
do that anymore.
3. Spend most of my free time writing Gloranthan material, both
game-related and non-game related. My current focus is Celestial History
and Mechanics, and Prax. Soon to move back to Trolls. But, as most of you
can probably tell, I tend to dabble in everything.
On a similar topic, I want to echo Joerg's offer of a few Digests ago --
anyone with questions about Glorantha, I am willing to field them. I have
one of the best collections of material I know of. However, be warned --
unless you tell me to stick to the published material, I'll probably give
you my opinions too!
