Or, for that matter, "Bad Medicine for Doctor Drugs"? After all,
like SKB and SH it is plainly non-Gloranthan -- though not adver-
tised as such, so maybe that makes it *more* Gloranthan...

Rubbish. There is a city in Glorantha called "Karse"; the line of
least resistance and most Game Fun is to adapt the non-Gloranthan,
non-RQ but rather good port-city supplement "Carse" (by Midkemia
printed by Chaosium) for local use. It is *not* based in Glorantha,
and contains *no* Gloranthan content.
> What about fanzines? Is Tales official?
No, and it says so at the start of most issues (in the small print):
: ... none of the contents should be regarded as official unless
: otherwise stated ...
A paranoiac might assume that when we (accidentally) omit this dis-
claimer, we *are* suddenly rendered "Official", but it would be an
unusual line to take, to say the least.
