To Julian Lords:
In some earlier message, I mistakenly attributed a statement by you
to Alex; that shows I should never burn my lists before I write the
answers. Grmf.
To Oliver Berneutz, regarding dwarves and Bowling:
A more serious (???) description of dwarven Bowling will appear any
day now; it incidentally is a critical part of my essay-in-progress
on Dwarven Individualism and its origin in the mystery cults of
Bowling and Dunnikindiving, and the experiences of the Great
Liberator. The working title is 'Individualism and the Art of
Bowling', but I might come up with a more awful pun. Jolly good shot,
anyway, especially the part about the Diamond League.
To the partakers of the Great Materialism Debate:
To the List In General, regarding Convulsion:
I have some suggestions for a system of Dwarven Magic, which is
profoundly materialist, which I aim to send to the list any day now.
Be warned that it will be written with BRP/RQ-rules in mind, though
I'm pretty sure it could be used for HW. Stay tuned. And yes,
Sergio, it is based on the World Machine world view. But don't
despair. You might rip off something useful off it.
I _think_ no one has mentioned the very entertaining seminar held on
the Sky by Greg and Alex, of which I understood the most important
part only afterwards in the pub, when Joerg Baumgartner (I think it
was) turned a beer glass upside down and dribbled beer on the carpet
(it was to be the Sky Dome, you see). Yes, unlike many others I was
almost sober all the con.
Anyway, for me the most important relevation there was that the
Dwarves have a sort of reconnaisance satellite cum death star up in
the sky in the form of a balloon with various scopes and instruments
and stuff. It is appearently the star/planet/whatever known as
Zenith.
All this might very well be in Elder Secrets or somesuch and I just
happened to miss it, but what certainly wasn't there was Alex'
absolutely brilliant suggestion, which I hereby forward to the digest
to (hopefully) be declared official Truth:
It is of course made of Darkmetal, making it a Lead Zeppelin.
