Wow, now thats a game I want to run...Is Steve still on Email, perhaps he would like to share some of his campaign with the digest? (Like he did his HeroQuest system - has it come any further?)


Ken (Rune Czar) Rolston;

Perhaps you could clear up a couple of Dorastor questions - Hungry Jack in the Contents list becomes Hungry eater in the Encounters section - which was meant to be correct; Hungry Jack was in the Dragon Pass game - never heard of Hungry Eater. Or did Ethilrist kill Jack so you had to change his name. (If this was a typo then I agologise for bringing it up :-)

Also being an old AH person, perhaps you know the answer to this one;

> the other Ralzakark", the "hairy broo with a scorpion arm" (depicted on the
cover of the >Genertela box!)

Is this really a picture of the other Ralzakark?


Clay,

I dont think another list is in order - RQLite was already in dissussion on the RQ4 play test echo. I just dont think it is on, reducing another list to mechanics. If people want to discuss fine tuning RQ mechanics then I think RQ4 is the place for it. BTW when are you going to make the TORG & Shatterzone lists like this one, rather than an echo?

Okay Steve, do tell...


Finally, what do readers think about the idea of an FAQ for the digest. I dont know how it would work - but perhaps it could be available from soda.berkley by FTP or perhaps if you could send a message to request-Digest with FAQ in the header?. I realize that not everyone has access to USENET or FTP so could it all be done by mail? If I remember correctly you can get files by mail from soda (cant remember how though).

I think the purpose of something like this would be to notify new subscribers to where sources are kept - RQ magazine subscription addresses, convention details, have a complete index to all back issues of the digest, including disscussions, supplements etc. For instance, a few? digests ago JagWire X asked about other RQ sources - does anyone know of any - even old ones other than soda? I realise that these things have to be kept current, but other lists manage it.

I think I maybe creating a workload for other people by suggesting this sort of thing. But long term this will benefit the digest and any associated RQ/Glorantha activities.

Also, what happened to the MUD that was suggested sometime back - is it dead?

Any ideas Henk, Shannon, Clay, everyone...
