Thanks to MOB and Nick Brooke for their comments on Drastic: Prax. I am
glad that my changes to organization and artwork are so noticeable.

This is about 50% true -- when I end up writing about 1/2 of each issue
(more in Volume Chaos), other material is going to end up reflecting
that. However, I would be disengenuous (sp?) if I didn't say that I am a
heavy-handed editor, with a singular vision of Glorantha, and my
editorial policy will always reflect that. The more submissions I get,
the less each volume will look like a personal-zine (much as the first
few volumes of Tales were). But it will always reflect my biases. I
always discuss changes with the original authors, and I will leave a good
piece unchanged rather than lose it just because it don't quite fit my
vision of Glorantha.
Oh, before I forget -- I received a total of three responses to my poll
a month ago. For those who have forgotten, I asked whether people felt I
should continue to use RQ stats, switch to something like Basic
Roleplaying or Pendragon Pass, or what. Two votes were to stay with RQ
until/unless a new game comes out. With a 2/3 majority vote, I guess I
will. Sure does make Volume Darkness a lot easier, I will admit.
